I purchased a twin sized electric blanket about 8 years ago at Odd Lots
(now Big Lots) for $19.95, and used it up until last year. It had some
issues, so we threw it away.
This year, I'd like to get a new one, but we now have a King size bed, and
my wife informed me that the electric blanket at Meijer was $75!
I had no idea - I figured it might be $30 to $40.
I'd like to use it because often we lay on the bed to read, and it would
be cheaper to heat the bed for sleeping than to keep the whole room warmer,
which is what we currently do.
Can anyone recommend a place where we could get either a Queen or King
sized electric blanket for less than $75? That just seems a bit too pricey.

A few years ago I priced a dual control blanket at Macy's for around
$70. Exact same was $35 at Target .

I've heard that they are not healthy for you. Maybe a down comforter?

There's fools that claim that about everything.

There used to be concerns about electric fields but the way they
make them now, the fields are minimal (that has to do with the wiring
pattern).
