They reckon electric blankets are suppose to help , but i've never tried one and you'd have to unplug it so it doesn't overheat causing a fire hazard.

I always found electric blankets a bit unsafe. There is a tendency to put one's full body weight on one as you turn in the night.

I don't think you're meant to leave it plugged in , it's just to keep you warm but you have to unplug it as it's dangerous.

There's always old school hot water bottle . Or bed socks .

I used one 25 years ago when I was 10 and they had electric blankets that were meant to be kept plugged in during the night. I guess you're right, they won't be making those now. Too dangerous.

Magnesium cures that... one with Malic acid preferably

I've had three duvets on my queen bed my whole adulthood. Summer and winter when I'm alone.
