I got a new electric blanket for my birthday in August. I ask for it. I grew up in a house in Ky. with only wood heat so Daddy got us kids electric blankets. I love them.

You do have to watch with them though. My younger sister had one to catch on fire when she was still at home. A hole as big as a plate was left in it.

Being new though, I don't think you'll have that problem.

I turn mine up on a cold night and it helps warm up my feet but I have noticed my legs won't warm up when they are staying cold.
