Which electric sheet is better? Warming sheet: harm or benefit. Heated bed linen and sheets - why you should say yes

Not everyone knows what an electric sheet is and what it is needed for, what functions it performs and whether such an accessory can somehow affect health, mainly improve it? To find answers to all these and many other questions, as well as find out reviews about popular models, read the article further...

When choosing bedding, many often wonder what it is – an electric sheet? So, an electric sheet is a special sheet that is equipped with built-in heating elements that allow you to maintain a certain temperature of the heating material.

Many models have a control panel with which you can easily set the required temperature. It is worth noting that the latest models of electric sheets are high-tech, programmable, which allows you not only to turn on the device at a time, but also to set the shutdown time.

A modern high-tech device detects all changes in skin and air temperature and is able to adapt to any environmental conditions. Some models of electric sheets can compensate for the lack of heat in different areas of the skin, for example, the heat in the legs increases, while the heating in the head area may be minimal.

Electric sheet - instructions on how the know-how works

Failure to follow the instructions for using an electric blanket can result in burns and injury, so before using this high-tech device, please remember the following:

The sheet should not be used by people who are not sensitive to high temperatures. For example, diabetics, people with skin changes caused by various diseases. It is also prohibited for small children (under 3 years of age) to use the electric sheet; teenagers can only use the device in the presence of adults;
Do not use the sheet crumpled or folded;
Before turning on, make sure that the wires are not pinched anywhere and are connected correctly;
Remember that electric sheets can interfere with the functioning of your pacemaker if used incorrectly, so be sure to read the instructions and consult your doctor before using them;
Be sure to check the sheet for scuffs and wear of materials; if found, make sure it is in good working order or call a specialist before troubleshooting. Do not use if there is even the slightest malfunction;
When the electric sheet is connected to the network and is in operating mode, you cannot place or place various objects, as well as electrical appliances, on it;
Do not cover the existing switch to avoid overheating and do not place it on a sheet when it is operating;
Please remember that the electric sheet is intended for its intended use only (sleeping and relaxing);
All models are equipped with a security system, so in case of any malfunctions, the device automatically stops working, and sensors signal that any problems have arisen;
Do not allow water to come into contact with the electric sheet;
If you plan to use the sheet for a long time, it is recommended to set the temperature to the minimum to avoid overheating

Pros and cons of electric sheets

When planning to buy an electric sheet, it is better to first take into account all the pros and cons of these products. Pros of an electric sheet:

Firstly, the products can be taken with you to the dacha during the cold season or used in apartment conditions;
Secondly, your sleep will be comfortable, since you will select the optimal temperature for your body;
Thirdly, the heating elements are very small in size, so they are practically not felt by the body;
Fourthly, there is an invaluable advantage for the body - going to bed in such a sheet will ensure muscle relaxation, and blood circulation will also improve, which undoubtedly puts the functioning of the organs in order;
Fifthly, energy consumption is quite small, so you won’t face huge electricity bills.

Another advantage of electrical products is that they can be washed in water without fear of being damaged.

But, despite the large number of advantages, electric sheets have disadvantages:

The products cannot be used if you have any health problems (only after consulting your doctor!);
A good practical model that adapts to your body and will have many different functions is not cheap, so it is not always available to buyers;

The market has already formed customer preferences and reviews of electric sheets, so below is an overview of the most popular models:

Double electric sheet Pekatherm U210DF is designed for heating the bed. Double, dimensions 150x160. This is a premium model, has 4 temperature settings, a control panel with a connector, which allows you to wash the product;
The electric sheet Beurer TS20 is soft and comfortable, has small dimensions (130x75). Great functionality, material of manufacture – fleece. Can be washed in a washing machine. The manufacturer also assures that the electric sheet is moisture-resistant and durable;

An electric heated sheet is an excellent option for those who cannot stay warm in bed for a long time during the cold season. Literally a couple of minutes will be enough for the bedding to become warm and the feeling of unpleasant humidity and discomfort to go away.

How to choose an electric sheet, what properties this device has and whether there are contraindications to its use is described in the article.

In appearance, the electric sheet is practically no different from traditional bed linen. It is more like a thin blanket, inside of which there is a flexible heating element equipped with a special layer of insulation. The design of the device also includes a cable with a plug and a power regulator. When the device is connected to the electrical network, the heating elements inside begin to give off heat, warming the bed and the person lying on it.

In the most inexpensive models, manufacturers do not provide a temperature control function, which is not always convenient. But electric sheets, presented in a higher price category, can even have a zoning function, allowing you to set different temperature conditions for the chest, lower back, and legs.

There are models with a set of additional options, including:

Auto shutdown;
LCD display with backlight;
Turbo mode for fast heating;
Timer function.

How to use

Before using an electric blanket, you must read the manufacturer's instructions, which should detail recommendations for safe use.

First you need to make sure that the sheet is straightened and the cord is not twisted or damaged. Then the product is placed in a comfortable position on the bed, covered with a regular sheet, and connected to the power supply. The bed will become warm in just a couple of minutes. Another use option is to put a special cover or mattress cover on the product. In this case, the heater will not need to be hidden under the bed linen - you can simply sleep on it.

If we talk about safety, it is thought out at the maximum level in heated sheets. The device does not need to be turned off at night, like other heaters. It is not capable of causing an accident, burn or fire. Many manufacturers provide their products with a variety of additional sensors. For example, Beurer electric sheets are able to independently control the heating temperature and switch off in case of problems.

What not to do:

Trying to secure the sheet to the mattress using pins or other elements;
Place the power regulator under the pillow;
Use a damp product;
Place household items on the surface of the included sheet.

Advantages and contraindications

The main advantage and direct purpose of the electric sheet is to provide warmth and quickly warm up in conditions of insufficiently high air temperature in the room. But these are not the only advantages of the device. In addition, it will help:

Improve well-being with rheumatism, joint pain, osteochondrosis;
Relax your muscles and relieve tension;
Activate metabolic processes in the body;

Not everyone knows that an electric sheet is not only useful. In some cases, using such heating can be dangerous, as the manufacturers themselves warn about. It is not recommended to use the device if you have:

Any kind of tumors and inflammatory processes in the body;
Skin diseases;
Varicose veins;
Increased body temperature;

It is also recommended that you consult with your doctor regarding the safety of using an electric drape for those with pacemakers. Women should not use heating during pregnancy, as well as children under three years of age.

Although electric sheets are relatively simple devices in terms of their characteristics, the choice must be made responsibly. Before choosing an electric sheet that suits all parameters, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the models of different manufacturers.

It is better to prefer products with the following functions:

Changing the heating intensity - at least two modes, and it is better if there are from three to six;
Auto-shutdown timer after a specified period of time;
Shutdown in case of overheating.

The power of the device is also important. On average, its value ranges from 40-140 W. The higher the wattage, the faster the initial heating will occur and the more energy the heater will consume. It is optimal to choose a device with an average power in the range of 60-100 W.

Another parameter that you should pay attention to is size. It can be single, one-and-a-half or double. What size electric sheet to choose should be decided based on the dimensions of the bed, but it will be better if it turns out to be larger than the parameters of the sleeping place. This will give additional comfort and help you warm up faster.

The best material for heated electric sheets is cotton. But since it is in any case recommended to lay bed linen on top of the product, you can choose a product with a synthetic surface, for example, fleece or polycotton.

Man, by nature, is adapted to survival, and can even adapt to extreme changes in conditions, but often, when it comes to maintaining warmth and comfort during a home holiday, historical and scientific facts fade into the background.

For a good night's sleep, a person still needs comfort and warmth. That is why we try to equip our home with all the necessary household and wardrobe items. Heated floors, wall insulation, heating and exhaust with air heaters - humanity creates all this to simplify their lives. The technology has “reached” textiles, and now electric sheets are a very popular item in bed wardrobe.

Electric sheet - what is it?

An electric sheet is also a bed liner, but it also acts as an electric heating pad. To do this, it has several differences from ordinary sheets:

The first is the presence of a special remote control thermostat, as well as an electric switch cord. With this, the sheet is connected to the power supply, and thus receives heat, and with the regulator you set a convenient temperature mode;
An electric sheet is not a direct analogue of a regular bed sheet. Firstly, it has a denser structure. Its thickness is greater due to the fact that the cables of the heating element are distributed inside;
The structure of the fabric for sewing electric sheets is also denser, and is selected in such a way as to ensure the safety of electric heating;
Such a sheet, contrary to its name, cannot be folded or tucked in. Having a pleasant appearance, it nevertheless serves solely to cover the sleeping area, in order to ensure its heating, and not to protect and decorate the bed as such.

An electric sheet is often placed not instead of, but under a regular sheet, and evenly warms the entire area of the sleeping area. That’s why a heated sheet is also called an electric mattress.

It is worth saying that such a product is very resistant to wear, the sheet does not roll or wrinkle. At the same time, it remains elastic and therefore does not cause discomfort during sleep. Also, the fabric in the electric sheet does not allow moisture to pass through, so the sheet does not get wet (most modern manufacturers focus on this). Some manufacturers make electric sheets from absorbent fabric, the moisture from which quickly evaporates. In addition, the inner space of the sheet is protected from the appearance of bacteria and moths, as well as other insects.

Heated bed linen and sheets - why you should say yes

Reading the article, many of those who do not yet use electric sheets thought: “Probably a good thing, but I really don’t want to become just a victim of marketing.” Concerns are understandable, because the new, the unknown, always makes you doubt... Until you learn from reviews or personal experience that it is really worth it.

Many firmly adhere to familiar concepts and believe that all modern gadgets and devices of this kind are “money thrown away.” How many of you remember your childhood? Those who were born before the 90s inclusive know what mothers did to warm their child’s bed. They put a heating pad under the blanket. Some of us still have Soviet heating pads, and later it was possible to buy an electric heating pad as a modern replacement for the old version.

But again, the area of such a device is not enough to quickly heat the bed when necessary. Therefore, there is one more “goal” scored against the electric sheets.

A special case, or for whom the electric sheet will be especially useful

In practice, those who have tried a heated sheet cannot refuse it even when it is no longer so cold outside. There are people who find extra warmth especially relaxing, and they periodically turn on the heating even in summer.

Whether you need such an item is up to you to decide in the end, but let’s together weigh the pros of electric sheets.

House in frosty winter

Remember one of the winter nights - how many times, even with full heating at home, did you go to bed in a cold bed? Always. If you remember your physics lessons, this is understandable, because first the air warms up, and only then the rest of the surfaces, furniture, household items, and, of course, the bed. Only due to the inertia of the air mass, heating of surfaces does not occur as quickly as desired. In addition, the sheet of the bed is usually hidden under a blanket or bedspread, and therefore often remains cold until we get into bed.

An electric sheet solves the problem of cold before bedtime - by turning on heating at the required time before bedtime, you lie down in a warm place right away, and fall asleep more comfortably and quickly, with a pleasant mood, and wake up in the same way. It is worth saying that there are models of sheets that only need a few minutes to heat up to a comfortable temperature for a person.

Country house

Owners of country houses that are not constantly heated are probably familiar with the feeling of icy humidity in their bed. Moisture is a consequence of cold - often after turning on the heating, cold air turns into condensation. At the same time, the bed becomes even less comfortable, and even more time is spent on warming it up. Therefore, an electric sheet in such a situation will be a particularly advantageous option.

Tourist trips and trips away from home

Another caste of people for whom an electric sheet is indispensable are tourists. Who, if not them, is familiar with the feeling of cold and humidity, especially when spending the night in the fresh air in a tent. A heated sheet will protect you from freezing and colds even in extreme conditions!

Double electric sheet – separate convenience for two

Surely, those who sleep in a double bed have wondered - how to share such a sheet if one of the family members is “freezing”, and the other is already hot when the temperature increases by 2-3 degrees?

Yes, among the entire range of electric sheets there are also double ones. And what’s more, there are sheets that have two separate, independent heating zones. A double electric sheet with separate zones has two regulators, each responsible for heating a separate “half” of the bed. This way, comfort will be provided to both family members, to the extent that each individual needs!

Are there any contraindications for an electric sheet?

So, you are already firmly convinced of your desire to buy an electric sheet. But you're probably still puzzling yourself with questions. Is such a purchase safe? Can it be used by everyone, or are there restrictions? Will a fire occur when the heating is turned on, and will this heating harm health? Will it eventually cause burns?

There is also a common belief that electrical appliances can emit electromagnetic radiation, which also negatively affects health. Is this the case with an electric sheet?

Health

In fact, like any electrical appliance, the heating mechanism of the sheet has its own electromagnetic field. But the technology is designed in such a way that the background of this field is so low that it does not affect the human condition in any way. The “radiation” generated by an electric sheet is comparable to the background level of common household appliances that we use every day - lamp, iron, hair dryer, coffee maker, food processor and others.

The exception is people with pacemakers, for whom being in close proximity to electromagnetic radiation is truly undesirable. Therefore, it is not recommended to use an electric sheet for them.

Fire hazard and overheating

As for the degree of heating and its possible harm, the power is calculated by the manufacturers based on safety standards. The design of the sheet, including the material from which it is made, is selected so that the heating level is comfortable and not harmful to humans. But if you still have doubts, remember that in most sheets the heating power can be adjusted, decreasing or increasing to the desired level.

The sheets are also equipped with automatic equipment, which automatically reduces the heating level when a certain temperature is reached. There is also built-in short circuit protection, so the heating of the sheet is turned off automatically if an emergency occurs.

Electrical safety

The manufacturer has thought through all the details so that electric heating does not cause electric shock, but still this factor depends more on your care and care in using the electric sheet. Always read the instructions carefully and inspect the product after purchasing it, and especially before using it for the first time. In particular, if the fabric of the electric sheet has punctures, damage, or feels damp, it cannot be connected to the electrical network.

Caring for your electric sheet

The electric sheet should always be used according to the directions on the label. The operating recommendations provided by the manufacturer, if carefully followed, will allow you to use the product for a long time and safely.

Of course, housewives will wonder, what about washing? After all, a sheet is an item of bed wardrobe, and it will have to be washed, at least rarely. Let's say in general - there are heated sheets that can be washed, and there are those that cannot be washed. The only thing is that, unless the manufacturer prohibits it, it is better to wash the fabric by hand to prevent the heating cable from bending too much inside. Of course, more modern models can also be washed in a machine - be sure to check this fact before making a purchase.

A universal solution for caring for heated sheets is a protective cover. You can buy it together with a sheet. If necessary, the cover can be removed and washed, and the sheet will thus be protected from unwanted influences.

Truly, a sheet or heated mattress is an indispensable item for any home. There is no need to worry about unnecessary costs - the power consumption of the sheet is quite low, and its cost will certainly be paid off by the resulting comfort. By choosing, you will be satisfied with your purchase and will experience incomparable comfort. We wish your home warmth!

The same applies to dachas and country residences, where at night on autumn days the warmth is far from summer. What to do in this case?

In the frosty winter and during the off-season, houses are often too cold and this makes them uncomfortable. Central heating radiators and radiators do not always cope with their task, but you still want to enjoy the warmth! It can be especially unpleasant to go to bed in a cold bed before bed. A couple of centuries ago, in noble houses, servants prudently warmed the beds of their owners by placing hot frying pans in the sheets. By the time the gentlemen went to bed, the beds were well warmed up. Nowadays, this ancient method has been embodied in an interesting invention - heated bed linen. This is a blanket, mattress or sheet with heating elements built into the fabric. Let's take a closer look at the operating principle of this device, what you need to know when purchasing, and whether it is safe to use.

At first glance, electric blankets and electric sheets are not much different from the regular bed linen that we are used to making our beds with. Perhaps their thickness is slightly greater, but this difference is invisible to the naked eye. Internal heaters are installed over the entire surface of the fabric inside soft synthetic insulation. Moreover, the dimensions of the heating elements are so miniature that they are not tactilely felt at all. In addition, they are wrapped in glass fiber and coated with a special layer of silicone. All this provides bed linen with “natural” softness and flexibility. The outside of the structure is upholstered with fabric, and the canvas is stitched with reliable seams along the entire perimeter. In addition, the electrical underwear is equipped a compact control unit, a heating power regulator and a wire for connecting to an outlet.

Electric heated sheets, as well as mattresses and blankets have the following design features:

environmentally friendly natural materials (cotton or calico) are used in production;
the power of the heating elements is 40-100 W;
there are several temperature modes;
heating occurs evenly, and the heat remains for a long time even after the device is turned off;
most models have temperature indicators and overheat protection;
consumes a minimum of electricity;
the device is not afraid of water, it can be washed like regular bedding;
can be rolled, folded and crumpled - the heating elements are securely insulated and firmly fixed inside the fabric.

Applications

There are many areas of use for heated laundry, and their list is regularly updated. Armed with imagination and ingenuity, users constantly find new uses for the gadget.

Replacement of classic bed linen. Electric mattresses help improve blood circulation, relieve muscle fatigue, activate metabolic processes in the body, and prevent diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Use provides a comfortable temperature regime for bedridden patients. For children, such a mattress is convenient for playing on a cold floor or terrace outside the city.
For the dacha. In unheated houses the device will be very useful. If there is still a heating source in the house, and the heat does not spread everywhere where it is needed, linen will help save electricity.
Gardening. The weather can be changeable, so seedlings and beds have to be insulated in various ways. You can install a greenhouse on the site or take an easier route - insulate the plants with heated fabric. This could be a special mat that works on the same principle as electric underwear. Resourceful summer residents in the garden wrap an electric blanket in plastic film and cover the future harvest with it.
For a car. Solves the problem of long trips on wheels. On the road (especially in the off-season) it can become cold and chilly. If there are stops along the way, and you or your travel companion want to take a nap, then a special car electric blanket will come in handy. An electric blanket for a car with a standard 12 volt characteristic warms up in just 5-7 minutes. It is also convenient to lay it out in the garage if you are repairing your car and are lying under the hood for a long time. If you spend a long time on a cold floor, it is very easy to catch a cold, which means a warm blanket will be the ideal solution.
For animals. Pets, especially cats, love to sleep in warm places. On frosty evenings, tailed animals look for somewhere to warm up - near radiators, radiators, near a lamp. You can put an electric sheet on your pet's bed - most likely, the cat will quickly fall in love with this innovation.
Cosmetology. Used for wrapping and before deep procedures (facial cleansing, scrubs, meetings). As a result of use, the pores will be cleared of comedones and sebum accumulation, the skin will be well steamed, and beneficial ingredients and substances will be better absorbed into it.
Gas cylinder heating. If your home has gas heating, a problem inevitably arises: where is the best place to place the gas cylinder? Many people refuse to install a cylinder at home due to the threat of explosion. Outdoors, especially in winter, can damage the cylinder and disrupt internal pressure due to low temperatures. Therefore, you can make a cover from an electric blanket and wrap it around the cylinder. Next, it is enough to place the cylinder in a suitable metal box and install it outside the house or in a barn. It is important to have a power source nearby as the electric blanket runs on a wall outlet.

How to choose the right one

To choose a practical and high-quality device, we recommend paying attention to the main criteria listed below.

Bed set or separately

As a rule, there is no need to purchase all the devices at once. It is enough to purchase one item, but it is reliable and functional. Electric sheet and electric mattress They work on a similar principle: they warm the bed from below, and the heat flows gradually rush upward. This method of heating is more effective, because heat directed upward will spread faster and create the most comfortable feeling.

Electric blanket massive and bulky. This will cause it to heat up more slowly and you will have to lie on the cold sheets and pillowcase for a while. But the blanket can be used as a portable electric blanket. It is soft, flexible and multifunctional. It’s convenient to wrap yourself in it while sitting in front of the TV or in the garden with a book, or you can lie down and play with your children.

Advice! If the air temperature in your home is significantly lower, a blanket will be a more practical purchase. While an electric sheet or mattress is designed primarily to insulate the bed directly during sleep.

Material of manufacture

Another important point is the material from which electric mattresses, electric sheets and electric blankets are made. In most cases, these are natural fabrics - linen, cotton, calico. Cotton sheets are traditionally the best seller. They are soft and pleasant to the touch, extremely environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic. The disadvantage of cotton fabric is that it wears out quickly and requires frequent washing.

Electronic sets are considered more durable made of synthetic composition: polycotton or fleece. They are just as soft, but more durable and easy to wash. Light and fluffy fleece electric blanket warms well - you may not need to connect to the mains. Allergies to fleece fabric are very rare, so we can safely recommend it for purchase. Just choose high quality material - otherwise the fabric will quickly lose its presentable appearance.

Advice! In order to comply with hygiene standards, it is advisable to make the bed with regular bed linen and cover it with an electric blanket or electric sheet on top.

Linen sizes

Now you need to determine the size of the electric sheet and electric blanket. As in the case of a regular set of linen, there are 3 size options on sale:

single;
one and a half;
double.

There are no strict rules here, it's a matter of your taste and preferences. The electric sheet does not have to cover the entire surface of the bed. It can be laid across, and the efficiency will not suffer from this. The ideal option is if the sheet completely matches the size of the bed. For a small single bed, a warmer-sheet with dimensions of 130x70 cm is suitable. A 1.5-bed set corresponds to a size of 150x80 cm. A double set has a size of 200x170 cm. And in stores you can also find the “Euro” size type (200x220 cm). This is also a version of a double bed, only with increased power and an extended wire.

Main functionality

The electric mattress is controlled using a compact remote control with basic buttons: on and off, temperature and power adjustment. Budget models may not have a temperature change function. The simplest model has one operating mode - heating the sheet and keeping warm until the moment of shutdown.

Advice! For greater convenience, it is better to choose electric underwear with temperature control.

Advanced models of electric sheets allow you to choose not only the heating level, but also division into separate zones. As a rule, this feature applies to double sets: each half of the bed will be heated independently and controlled by an individual remote control. Another technological innovation is local division into the shoulder, lumbar and lower extremity areas. Each zone has its own heating and maintaining a certain temperature. This technology is often used for medicinal purposes, during cosmological wraps.

Additional features

In addition to adjusting the heating level and zoning, a heated sheet or electric blanket can have auxiliary useful functions.

LCD screen with backlight, displaying temperature. A very convenient feature for using the device at night.
Fast heating. This is a turbo mode, which significantly speeds up heating compared to standard mode. An indispensable option in winter, when you want to jump into a warm bed as soon as possible.
Automatic shutdown after a certain period of time. An excellent option that increases safety of use.
Possibility of disconnecting the network cable. Thanks to this feature, the product can be washed both by hand and in a washing machine (it is advisable to use the delicate cycle).
Timer. Allows you to specify the time at which the device will automatically turn off.
Anti-allergenic effect. This is a special mode for drying clothes that reduces the risk of bed bugs, micro mites, and fungus.
Availability of fastenings for a tighter fit - used for wraps in cosmetology.

The best manufacturers

Another important indicator when choosing an electric blanket is a reliable manufacturer. These include companies that have been on the market for several years and receive the highest possible ratings from buyers for their products.

Note! In addition, the products of Medisana and Microlife enjoy the trust of customers.

How safe is it?

When purchasing a product, pay attention to its safety. In any case, a device powered by electricity undergoes thorough quality control at all stages of creation. Almost all equipment available for sale complies with European standards TUV, CE and GS. This means that the electric blanket has an option to automatically turn off after a certain period of time. Some manufacturers (for example,) equip their devices with many sensitive sensors that respond to overheating. You can sleep on an electric sheet without harm to your health. All that is required from the user is observe safety precautions according to the operating instructions:

bed linen should be dried and completely straightened;
do not place an electric sheet under your head;
Do not hide the control unit under the pillow;
Do not secure bedding with sharp objects (needles, pins, etc.).

Otherwise, a short circuit may occur and the electric blanket or mattress may catch fire.

Important! In certain situations, the use of heated laundry is prohibited. Doctors do not recommend an electric blanket for the following categories of users:

patients with diabetes mellitus of any type;
people with skin diseases (psoriasis, dermatitis);
patients with a pacemaker;
persons diagnosed with polyneuropathy;
having serious injuries, tumors, paralysis;
Use with extreme caution in pregnant women.

Conclusion

Heated underwear does not fall into the category of essential goods. But one cannot argue with the fact that it brings comfort and coziness to the house, especially in the cold season. Most buyers value these devices for their ease of use, simplicity, efficiency and versatility. In modern models, cases of spontaneous combustion and short circuits, fortunately, are practically eliminated. A high-quality bedding set will last for many years and will give warmth to the whole family.
