Why do we need an electric mattress, an electric blanket, an electric sheet?

The trend for electric blankets, mattresses and sheets came to us from European countries, where the average temperature in apartments does not rise above 20 degrees Celsius. For residents of our country who have a powerful heating system, such technologies may seem unnecessary. But those who are constantly cold really like to wrap themselves in a warm blanket. Here is an overview of the design of heated bedding and the rules for their use.

What is an electric sheet, electric blanket, types of “hot water bottles”

Electric underwear is similar to regular underwear, except for the thickness and heating elements inside the fabric. There are three types of electrotextiles:

1. With water tubes and separate thermoblock.
2. With heating cable system.
3. The heating elements are made of carbon fiber. This is a fire-resistant material that allows you not to be afraid of fires.

Models vary in size: there are single, one and a half and double options, as well as children's accessories.

All heating elements are protected by fiberglass and a silicone shell and have the necessary flexibility.

Benefits where the technology is used

An electric mattress will save you in damp spring and autumn weather, when the heating has not yet been turned on or has already been turned off. Inventions are useful for those who prefer to spend the summer at the dacha.

Some people are sensitive to humidity levels. Heaters noticeably dry out the air, which affects the condition of the skin and well-being; moreover, such systems are not always safe.Electrotextiles are a convenient alternative.

What are the health benefits of heating accessories? Sleeping in a warm bed is much more comfortable. It is known that a person falls asleep faster in warmth than in cold. This property will appeal to people who have difficulty with insomnia. Electric underwear is of particular benefit to those suffering from radiculitis, osteochondrosis and rheumatism.

The technology is successfully used in medical cosmetology. Substances penetrate better into the deeper layers of the skin under the influence of heat. Electric sheets are used for wrapping against cellulite, to improve skin tone, to nourish and improve overall well-being.

How else can you use electric underwear:

1. A sheet will come in handy for small children to play comfortably on the floor.
2. For heating seedlings when it is cold outside and indoors. A heating mat is quite capable of replacing a greenhouse if the site does not allow it to be equipped.
3. For drying shoes.
4. For a car, if you have to travel for a long time: just power the thermal textile from the cigarette lighter.
5. There is a special gadget for the car engine - a car blanket. It speeds up engine warm-up at sub-zero temperatures and extends its shelf life.

The disadvantages of the devices are that the operating rules are non-standard for linen, especially for inexpensive models. Thin thermal sheets also have a problem: the wiring will be felt during sleep. Manufacturers recommend that particularly sensitive people cover them with a regular sheet. This measure will also reduce the number of washes.

Operating rules

The instructions for electrical underwear are clear and simple, but not all users pay attention to them. Hence the complaints about fires. Always read the description of the device, best before purchasing:

1. The first and most important rule: first warm up the electric sheet, and then use it! You cannot sleep on bed linen that is plugged in.It's okay to watch TV with the blanket on, but it's very dangerous to leave it plugged in all night. In a dream, it is easy to catch the wire going to the network with your feet and cause a short circuit. Also, sleeping with excess heat is fraught with health problems.
2. The second and no less important condition of use: do not fold a working blanket in half or more. This is what leads to the fires that users complain about. Always roll out accessories completely.
3. Pins used to secure sheets and blankets to mattresses can also cause short circuits. Do not do that.
4. It is better not to wrap yourself completely in a warm blanket. Overheating of the head threatens health complications, including increased blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. Modern models of mattresses and blankets have heating zones: in the area of ​​the legs, lower back and torso.
5. Do not spill water on working electric blankets, or drink drinks while lying in bed. This puts you at risk of getting an electric shock.
6. Another reason for unexpected fire is mechanical damage. If you find any rubbing or scorching on the fabric, immediately send the product for repair. Before use, warm the item for about 5 minutes and walk over the entire surface with your palm. If somewhere the heating is noticeably stronger, this is an alarming sign - defects are possible. Always remember that the temperature should be the same over the entire surface, with the exception of zoned products.

Is it possible to wash electrical textiles in a machine or with your own hands? Yes, just unplug the power cord first and make sure the fabric is not damaged anywhere. If the model does not require removing the cord, then wash it carefully in a basin so that water does not get on it. Read the instructions; most often the manufacturer recommends a quick delicate wash and spin.
