If the cold winter nights are making you lose sleep, a heated mattress pad or electric blanket are just what you need. Here are some hot recommendations.
First off, after 40 hours of research and testing, Courtney Schley at The Sweethome suggests you’re better off with a heated mattress pad instead of an electric blanket. Which isn’t too surprising considering heated pads are more efficient at warming your body, and your bedding helps insulate the heat they provide. If you’re looking to buy, The Sweethome recommends you go with one of two models from Sunbeam, particularly the Premium Quilted and standard Quilted models.
If you prefer electric blankets, The Sweethome says Sunbeam takes the cake in that area too with their Velvet Plush blanket. But their runner up, JCPenney, makes a softer, albeit more cumbersome, option. You can see all of their picks and testing methodology at the link below.
