Do you use an electric blanket to keep yourself warm? Are they safe? Do you know which kind is best (or worst)?

Just use good normal blankets. Your body makes enough heat if you insulate it decently.
Juan Evans
that's what I'm doing now. but my house is terribly insulated and my bed is near a couple of windows and door so during winters, it gets way colder than my body can warm up.
Nathaniel Peterson
Get some weatherstripping.

Canada fag here. I have a heated blanket I keep b/w the fitted sheet and the mattress. I also have one of those microwaveable bean bag thingies. Maximum comfy.
Benjamin Myers
get thick curtains and thick carpets
block up the windows a bunch as well
saves a lot on heating
Elijah Nelson
I did but it didn't help, it's way past that kind of fix.
that costs a lot more than just keeping myself warm. I'm a poorfag and my curtains are super thin, old and with holes in them.
nice, yeah I was planning to do the same thing with an electric blanket. are there different kinds or are they all the same?

No, I get night-sweats, if anything, I need a towel.
Joseph Gray
honestly the other anons are right, you need to fix your draft first. If you're really poor and paying for your heating/electric/gas, you will save money in the long run by getting a general contractor/your landlord to fix that shit.
The first one I bought was basically couch-sized, one person. I upgraded pretty quickly to a queen-sized one. It's split into two with separate controls if you had a partner, but this is Jow Forums so I doubt you have a partner unless you're a homo.
I tend to just use the bean bag thing to put me to sleep, then I'm good until morning. For particularly cold nights I'll keep the blanket on setting 1 or 2 out of five.

it really is a good idea to invest in thicker curtains
you don't even have to get real curtains
use duvet quilts if you have to
also don't get any that are ridiculously heavy as eventally your bar at the top will snap or the supports will give way costing you more
but as long as it is mounted properly you will not run into this issue
trips of truth

>night-sweats
I get those too sometimes. wtf is the deal with that?

this was always a bad idea

I prefer a heated mattress pad rather than a blanket.
It just seems to be warmer for some reason, maybe because heat rises?
Chase Garcia
well, I was planning to put the heated blanker under myself with a normal blanket on top of me.
Ryder Anderson
I just do some squats and use my calories to heat me up
Chase James
I have sleep apnea, the kind where you can stop breathing for a while. I'm guessing my night sweats are caused by or are related to this.
Kevin Sullivan
If you are using this unironically then What you need is the electric chair!

I was looking at heated mattress pads but so many mixed reviews
Ayden Campbell
I got one recently and you need to put it on Max to even feel it. The coils burn you at the point also.
Blake Sanders
Bought an electric mattress last winter, every time I touch the wall/floor when the thing is on and I'm on it, I feel some kind of electricity, its the same feeling that you get when you touch old computer cases.
Don't know whats happening.
Elijah Williams
I've had both and yes they can be hit or miss,
so ymmv
Brandon Rodriguez
Texas here. Warmth is the enemy.
Jordan Peterson

Caleb Bell
Isn't that sorta what those weighted autism blankets are for?
