I hate to admit it, but the most beloved item in our household isn't a painting, a stylish piece of furniture, or even a Stanley cup (contain your shock). But the point is, this one item brings me eternal joy. What salvation is this, you ask? An electric blanket. It's the adult version of a child security blanket that I'm sure my therapist will love talking about when he reads this.
Blame it on genetics or New York in January, but my body is always cold—and I was on a long quest for the softest, coziest blanket known to man. Fortunately, the search is finally over. I've had to endure bitter disappointment after spending money on overpriced blankets with fancy brand names or lofty promises of warmth. But the one who really won my heart is Sealy's electric blanket.

I like a blanket that wraps you up like a warm hug, and this one certainly does the trick. Available in four sizes – throw, twin, full or Queen – ideal for lounging around the house. If you are looking for maximum coziness, I recommend it upgrade to full size. I've never been satisfied with a blanket that covers my feet but leaves my midriff cold. I'm wondering what the purpose of throwing blankets is, other than tucking your dog (or child) in at night.
The Sealy blanket also comes with a reassuring five-year warranty! Since my last heated blanket, which cost a whopping $250 on sale, broke after just four months, this guarantee will certainly give you peace of mind. And the best part? It starts at just $59.99. I'm celebrating my one year anniversary with this blanket, and I'm probably going to celebrate by buying one for my husband so he doesn't steal it in the middle of the night anymore.
There are ten heat settings from low to high with a timer that can be set from one to twelve hours while you sleep. I feel safe leaving it plugged in, with the ETL and FCC certifications, and meeting safety requirements, as long as it's plugged into a 120V AC outlet. Plus, it's machine washable, so you can rinse out any bad odors or stains your dog may leave behind. And yes, this is also my dog's favorite blanket, so you can imagine the family always ends up on my side of the bed on cold nights. If you love your space, consider getting one for everyone in the family. “It's nice and warm, and it's probably the only reason I'm surviving winter this year,” says a five-star reviewer on Amazon. They love it in the winter, while I find comfort in it all year round, but on the other hand I also light indoor fires in July for ambiance. But if there was ever a perfect time to invest in this product, the dreary middle of winter would undoubtedly be it. Give it a try, and if you're not satisfied, you can always return it to Amazon.
It's quick, painless and a real comfort at this time of year.
