When winter arrives, there's nothing more comforting than climbing into a warm and cozy bed. To help you choose the perfect heated blanket or throw, we've compiled a comprehensive buying guide filled with top tips and expert advice to ensure you and your family stay safe, snug, and energy-efficient. Discover why electric blankets are the cost-effective way to keep warm this winter and learn how they can contribute to a restful night's sleep.
A good night's sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being. To optimize your sleep environment, consider the following factors:
The National Sleep Foundation recommends maintaining a bedroom temperature of approximately 15 to 20 degrees Celsius for optimal sleep. Consider investing in a Sunbeam Sleep Perfect™ wool fleece heated blanket, which not only keeps you warm in winter but also provides cooling comfort in the summer.
Regulating your body clock by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day can improve sleep quality. Incorporate a relaxation ritual before bedtime, such as taking a warm bath, to unwind and prepare your body for sleep.
Assess your sleep position and determine the level of support and temperature control required. Investing in the right mattress, pillows, sheets, and heated blankets can help create a comfortable sleep environment personalized to your preferences.
Engaging in regular exercise can enhance sleep quality. However, avoid exercising too close to bedtime, as it may energize you and make it difficult to fall asleep. Aim to complete physical activity earlier in the day.
Scientific research has shown that the blue light emitted by electronic devices can interfere with sleep. Wind down before bed by engaging in calming activities such as reading or listening to relaxing music instead.
Discover the key benefits of heated blankets and how they can support a restful night's sleep:
According to Energy Australia, heated blankets are an economical option, costing an average of four cents per hour to run. By concentrating heat in one area instead of heating an entire room, these blankets offer an affordable way to stay warm during winter. Additionally, heated throws are perfect for cozying up on the couch.
With a range of temperature settings, you can easily select your preferred level of warmth, even in the dark. For enhanced temperature control, consider opting for a heated blanket with Sunbeam's exclusive SleepPerfect© technology, which automatically adjusts the temperature as you sleep, maintaining your desired setting.
Sunbeam heated blankets and throws undergo rigorous testing procedures to ensure their safety and reliability. These blankets are equipped with built-in protection, including Sunbeam Safety Shield and nine Levels of Safety, providing you with peace of mind as yousleep.
Whether you prefer falling asleep with the blanket on for a short while or keeping it on throughout the night, heated blankets offer timer settings. Choose between auto-off options of 75 minutes or 120 hours, while heated throws feature a 3-hour auto-off safety feature, allowing you to sleep comfortably and confidently.
Sunbeam electric blankets are designed for convenience. Simply unplug the controls, and the special waterproof heating elements make them safe to wash, either by machine or by hand. You can even tumble dry them, ensuring hassle-free cleaning.
