Hi

could you use a heated blanket on an air bed??  Next week end our friends are coming to stay in our annex in the awning we are getting heated blankets for the pullman but i was wondering if they could use one? 

They have given cold nights, i have told them to sleep on a duevt on top of air bed, then sleeping bags then throw over them.  We also have a radiator which we will leave on for them in the awning!!

Thanks

I have heard of people using electric blankets on airbeds successfully but I believe they do cover the airbed with something first, as suggested. I am considering one myself although I have just changed to a camp bed with SIM on top so I will try that for warmth first.

Nowadays you can get low power and washable electric blankets which should be safe in a tent or awning.

I wouldn't pump the airbed up too hard otherwise the air inside will expand with the heat and could cause it to leak...either that or it will float up to the roof like a hot air balloon
