Keeping warm when "elderly" has to come under Health, so here goes:
If you're about to replace your existing electric blanket with the same make because you like or approve of its design/manufacture, would you please post the details, once you can spare time.
Thank you. 
Can't stand a heated bedroom, so by December's end, bedroom is goose pimple city.
Sliding into a warm (not hot) bed is great. Cold temps do nothing for conviviality. 
Hi rosesarered. So your DH warms the bed. Without being explicit,
which side does he warm? .
My DH can slide into bed freezing to the touch and, within 5 mins he's toasty 
Never use an electric blanket with a memory foam mattress or topper, it's a fire hazard 
That sounds great Nathan.
Electric blankets and/or the need for their replacement is Health, surely?.
Our leccy blanket is 3 years old. Maybe it should be replaced, as DH has the only controls. 
Loupyloo do you mean don't put it under a layer of foam?
Got a dreamland as well. My only gripe is that when it goes off after an hour the controls glow with a blue light.
Electric blankets are extremely cheap to run. So if you are having trouble keeping warm, don't worry about your bill.
