Many of us will agree that the majority of our heating bills originate from the constant use of our central heating. It is often a common practice for many of us to switch on the thermostat when feeling cold in winter months. High heating bills are our main concern when it comes to cold winter months, infact the answer to saving these dreaded heating bills are not too far away. Electric Blankets can save much less energy than your common household radiator. When in bed we often turn to using the central heating to keep us warm during the night, of course this will heat up the whole house which may not be necessary. electric blankets will use less energy, but at the same time keep you warm and comfortable through the night. Electric Blankets not only prevent us from feeling cold, but they can also help our aching bones and muscles whilst we rest. Heat is well recognised for treating sores and muscle aches, a standard electric blanket will help reduce this type of fatigue and give us added energy and regeneration for when we wake up. Electric Blankets also represent high specification safety measures, as the majority of them now have an automatic shut off incase we forget to switch them off, or even fall asleep with them still on. Many of the Blankets are now highly durable and soft making them very comfortable, unlike older types of electric blankets; newer models can now keep us warm in up to 15 minutes, allowing you to feel warm much quicker than in earlier releases of Electric Blankets. Many of the Homefront Electric Blanket’s Homefront Electric Blanket’s now come with a fitted mattress cover which will fit any mattress size, providing highly effective and versatile options for all sized beds. The use of Heated Mattress Pads has also become quite popular over the last 10 years, common dust mites and bugs can thrive on our excess moisture and sweat during the night. Mattress Pads have been specifically tested to reduce mattress moisture by an astonishing 50% - thus preventing these types of bugs from thriving upon bacteria and germs. It is important to remember that Electric Blankets have been around for many years now, but have only recently become much safer and feasible to use. With this type of heating product you’re never short of a good night’s sleep, and the added advantage of cutting down your energy costs.
