Biddeford Electric Blanket Review: Your Ultimate Winter Companion
Are you searching for the perfect electric blanket to keep you warm and cozy this winter? Look no further than the Biddeford Electric Blanket. With a luxurious Sherpa liner and digital controls, it promises to turn your couch into a heated oasis. I put it through the wringer—including an infrared camera test—to see if it actually delivers consistent warmth without the "wire feel."
Verdict: 9.2/10. An outstanding value. The Sherpa lining effectively hides the wires, making it comfortable even when turned off. It heats up quickly to 95°F and is cheaper than running your home furnace.

Performance: The Infrared Heat Test
The biggest issue with cheap electric blankets is "hot spots"—where one part of the blanket burns you while your toes freeze. To test this, I used an infrared camera to visualize the internal heating elements.
The Sherpa Factor
What truly enhances the coziness is the Sherpa liner. In many electric blankets, you can feel the hard wires against your skin. The Sherpa is thick enough to insulate the cords effectively. I found that I couldn't feel the wires unless I was specifically pinching the fabric to find them.
Note: Even on "High," it got so warm that I had to turn it down after 20 minutes. This is a powerful heater.
Safety & Maintenance
10-Hour Auto Shut-Off
This is a critical safety feature. If you fall asleep on the couch (which you will), the blanket turns itself off after 10 hours. This prevents overheating and saves electricity.
Machine Washable? Really?
Yes. The controller cord detaches from the blanket, allowing you to throw the textile part in the washing machine.
- Wash: Cold water, gentle cycle.
- Dry: Low heat or air dry. Do not use high heat, as it can damage the internal wiring insulation.
FAQ
Can I use this overnight?
While you can, it is often better to use it to pre-heat your bed or for lounging. Sleeping with it on "High" all night can lead to overheating or dehydration.
Does the King size have two controllers?
Yes. Both the Queen and King sizes come with dual controllers, so you and your partner can have different heat settings.
How much does it cost to run?
It costs pennies per night. Using this blanket allows you to turn down your home's central thermostat, potentially saving you significantly on winter heating bills.
