I've not had a problem but I'm mobile so the most it's on for is three hours before a break, you can put a towel underneath if you are worried.

How long do they take to heat up? and do you knock it off when a client is on the bed?

I turn it on low and leave it on that level but they each have their own guidelines, it will come with instructions. It heats up almost instantly.

I also use one of these. I usually make sure it is hot and then turn it down when the client gets in.

I use an underblanket, but you can also get ones that go over the top.

Never had a problem with my bed.

You can get them for about £20

Hi,

I too use an electric blanket, got mine from argos was about £30, has 9 level heat settings, I have mine on from 11-8pm every day (in the cold months) and its fine, I put the towelling couch cover on first then electric blanket then a blanket over the top followed by couch roll.

All my clients love it and I wouldnt be without one!

Love Emma xx

I've just invested in a heated blanket from Lakeland. It's fleecy too and is washable.
I'm fed up of being too warm to work (I'm at that 'hot-flush' age) and almost fainting during a hot stone massage !!!!!
So now the client is toasty and I'm cool.

I'm sorry to jump in on this thread, but can you use an electric blanket on an electric bed? I don't want to damage the electronics.
