Silent night electric blanket

i sometimes put it on three while i clean my teeth but usually 30 mins before bed
then turn it off
i make sure i cover it with my duvet else the heat is lost

Mine heats up in ten minutes, I only have three settings on mine. 1-3. Must be faulty

Do you have a blanket over the top of it?

Also note that it doesn't get toasty hot, but you should definitely notice that the bedsheets aren't cool to the touch.

Presumably, the light in the controller lights up and you've plugged it into the blanket properly?

Otherwise, @dorey69 might be right

I've had several of these types of blanket and have taken them all back because they never got warm. I'm still not convinced it wasn't just me thinking it would get warmer than it actually did.. you may be like me.

I have the climate control electric mattress topper version with 9 heat settings top & bottom on both sides. I switch it on for 30 mins on full & it’s super toasty. On very cold nights i keep it on the 9 hr timer on setting 3. Perhaps with a bed sheet & fleece sheet it’s too thick for warmth to come through enough? Try it with just cotton sheet over top?

I have two kingsize ones.
#1 on a mattress with just a fitted sheet over it.
#2 on a mattress with a cotton/polyester whatever mattress protector cover then a fitted sheet over that.

#2 takes a lot longer to warm up.

I put this down to the heat having to go through two covers instead of just one.

Take off your fleece bedsheet and try it.

I always have mine on the highest setting then put it down to the second, the first in my opinion is useless. (edited)
