perfect Electric Blanket

published

I have owned my sleep perfect for 4 months and I love it . Mind you it took a while to get use to the settings and controls as you cannot leave this electric blanket on all day, the main reason for the purchase . Once we were use to the dial and settings all has been good, I would highly recommend this electric blanket especially for the young and elderly who tend to forget to turn them off

Good value for money.

We bought two of these for our kids' beds. We live in Tasmania. Really like the feature on the controller that has a timer - it will automatically turn itself off after 75 minutes or 12 hours.

Worked well for 6 months

Fantastic start up warming. Make sure you put a mattress cover over it as it could be a little uncomfortable on its own.
It worked well unless one side of the blanket stopped working

Perfect for winter.

published

I have always been sceptical of electric blankets due to various house fires sparked because of this but I did my research and found sunbeam was producing these so I thought well why not give it a try. Just saying, NO... REGRETS.

Perfect

Very comfortable, easy to fit onto the bed, heats up very quickly, heats in the foot area too, you have a choice of settings one to six and a timer with two settings one hour or nine hours. Wouldn't be without it in winter.

Great Fit

published

We haven't had an electric blanket since childhood when they were hard and lumpy. Due to my husband becoming very unwell, he needed gentle warmth at night. Despite the air conditioning running constantly the electric blanket did the trick and has given great comfort. My only gripe is the controller is hard to read. Having a king size bed makes getting sheets etc hard to fit but this was easy and had plenty of give.

The best of the best!!!

Sunbeam electric blanket is the best heating system I can find. It gets warm very fast. I turn it off when I go to bed and it keeps the heat in the blanket until I fall asleep. Safe electricity and doesn't make the whole bedroom dry!

Amazing blanket

published

OMG this electric blanket is so cool it warms up really quickly and its very comfortable I've had this electric blanket since last winter 2016 and I am reusing it this year winter 2017. Has been one of the best purchases for keeping warm. Heaters make it hard for me to breathe and makes me feel dry and suffocated whereas having the electric blanket has left me warm all around

Very poor product

second winter, about to try and get my third blanket, same failure as everyone else. Suggest people google it first. The controller lights flash, both times the failure has been on the same side of the blanket.

Update on previous comment, now on blanket 4, still the same fault, sensational product when they work. Actually purchase was made at David Jones, their service has been nothing short of exemplary.

Fantastic start up warming. Make sure you put a mattress cover over it as it could be a little uncomfortable on its own. The controls are better than the past ones we've had . A real good purchase. No problems so far.

First one didn't last two months, second one less than a month

Poor quality, failed in a short period of time. Flashing lights on controller. Replaced and the same thing happened again in a shorter period of time. Could not recommend buying a Sunbeam electric blanket.

This is so good, I can't keep my dog off my bed.

published

After giving my dog my spare doona I needed to find a way to keep warm that wouldn't blow my budget. The Sunbeam Sleep Perfect was recommended by the shop assistant as being value for money. I had not used an electric blanket since I was a kid so I was keen to see if they still stuck into your back and had that coarse scratchy material. I was pleasantly surprised that not only was the fabric soft and the heating coils well padded but that it was in fact, like a fitted sheet. It was easy to fit and has two separate heating panels, each with its own control. Highly recommended by both me and my dog.

Love this electric blanket which could keep me so warm during the winter night. The temperature setting can be adjust automatically or annually, it won't overheat but simply keep you warm comfortably for a good night sleep.

So when the cold snap hit i happened to be staying in a hotel for a night for work and they had one of these blankets on the bed which i fell in love with. I had never used an electric blanket before. Such a difference it makes and this one is lovely. I've just bought one as a present for my friend as well because i find it so good

Sorry I do not understand what you mean saying 4 controller? They come with 2 controllers for the double and queen sizes. If that is what you mean.
