This is my first winter ever and I’m contemplating between weighed blanket vs electric blanket. My AC have its heat function but I honestly don’t know if it’s enough. I’m just curious about the weighed blanket lol
Nobody can answer this because nobody knows where you live, what kind of weighted blanket you’re using, what else you wear to bed, what your preferred sleeping temp is, and how insulated your room is.
It may be enough, it may not be enough. You know you can use more than one blanket, right? In the spring, summer, and fall, I use a single thin sheet. In winter I throw an extra blanket or two on top of the sheet depending on the temps that night.
I usually use 2 blankets in the winter. I have one of the N Cool W blankets, and a Heattech blanket from Uniqlo. That with some fleece keeps me good through the winter.
>My AC have its heat function but I honestly don’t know if it’s enough.
It enough if you can pay the electricity price.
In summer I run the AC all night, but it’s a waste of money to run the heater all night. When I lived in a cold place I went to bed with fleece socks and sleepwear from Uniqlo. I also put a fleece blanket on the bed for me to lie on. Keep it under your body to sleep directly on.
It’s nice to set the timer of the heater to come on in the morning so the room is not freezing when you get out of bed. Floor heating is nice too
I live farther north and don’t need the AC at night. A blanket is enough.
We don’t use the heater in winter for sleeping. A warm blanket plus a hot water bottle (and sometimes a cat that wants to snuggle up) is enough. Alternatively, a heated blanket underneath the bedsheets makes summer out of winter and is only about 40 watts or so, way cheaper than A/C.
I don’t know about a weighted blanket but I like to put a heated blanket at my feet and sleep without the heater on. Turn the heater on in the morning to wake up warm
If you wear a thermal top, pants and socks, that goes a long way with any blanket.
