Health Benefits Of Electric Blankets

​

A quarter of people purchasing electric blankets do so for health benefits beyond general comfort.

Direct heat therapy is one of the main reasons for using an electric blanket. Applying heat to muscles increases blood flow; this enhances muscle nutrition and relaxation, which helps with healing and pain and eases sleep.

 

People who suffer from back pain, tension, or injuries may find relief through the application of heat to affected areas. Heat provided by electric blankets relieves muscle pain and soreness caused by arthritis and fibromyalgia. Those with Raynaud's phenomenon or post-polio syndrome may use heated bedding to avoid damage and relieve discomfort caused by poor circulation or cold intolerance. An electric blanket also allows users to maintain a more comfortable temperature and gain the general benefits associated with deep and uninterrupted sleep particularly when camping in near zero and sub zero temperatures.
