I am now on my third electric blanket in 4 years. I can get really
cold at night, so my bed has a bottom *** (them me), then a top
***, then an electric blanket, then a thermal blanket to keep the
heat from the electric blanket in, and then a heavy quilt on top of
it all (thank gawd I live in Texas and not Alaska or I'd have to
climb a ladder just to get into bed each night).

for those four years, I could NOT find an electric blanket that got
warm enough. In our stupid, overly-litigious society, manufacturers
are so afraid of being sued that they make everything safe to the
point of being ineffective. But last night at Sears, I finally found
an electric blanket (a Sunbeam) that gets warm enough to actually
feel the heat (as opposed to the others that did not get warm enough
for you to even know when they were on). In fact it gets so warm
that the heat can be felt through the thermal blanket and quilt to
the top of the quilt.

Last night I had all five cats sleeping with me (which left me very
little space on my king-sized bed, but which also helped to keep me
warm).

I used to be cold on a heated waterbed, under 2 duvets, and wearing
flannel pjs. Well, this summer after 23 years, we had to let go our
waterbed (we had trouble getting out of it) and we bought a mattress
which has 4" of latex foam on top. Even though it has air holes to stay
cool, we're so warm after 15 minutes that I had to put my 2 duvets in
storage, switch to a t-shirt, shorts, a *** on top, and only a light
comforter. It's winter here and we have to keep the window open a
crack. So if you ever change your mattress, try the foam topped ones -
they really keep the heat.
