Rich:
This is in fact the "emergency" electric blanket, presumably just enough to
stave off hypothermia.
But I should tell you, I have done this before and with blankets ot TOP of
the heater it is very warm, and with a small heater you will use less power.
Many times I would use the heater to warm the bed for me then turn it off
when I get in. The thermodynamics worl like this:
The electric blanket is not actually a "source of heat", what it does is
prevent YOU from losing so much heat. This is why just a little bit of
electric blanket does so much (like a cat).
