Last year, water heating blankets entered the Chinese market as a new type of heating product, and it didn’t take long to be sought after by many consumers, It is said to be a advanced alternatives to electric blankets, So today let’s find out is this new-tech product really that good? What is the difference between water heating blankets and electric blankets?
What is water heating mat?
Different than electric blanket, water heating blanket is warmed by water circulation heating system: firstly, water heated by the host, then go through and circulate back and forth inside the blanket achieved by the pump, so as to maintain constant temperature; Since it is water circulation, it has advantages such as no dryness, no fire hazards, and no scalding risk…
What are the benefits?
Having understood how a water heating blanket works, let’s now look at what advantages it really has:
1.Safety: using heated water to circulate inside the mat, no electricity inside the blanket, truly secure;

Now let’s compare the difference between water heating blanket&electric blanket, to see if the water heating blanket is really better than the electric blanket:
Water heating blanket |
Electric blanket |
|
Heating system |
Heated water circulation,
Achieve constant heating |
heated resistance wire, Temperature unstable |
Temp control |
Precise temp control, zoned control, Can be adjust by needs easily | High & low grade control,
Not much selectivity |
Safety |
Harmless | Lightly electromagnetic radiation |
Noise |
Lightly noise of water | No noise |
Experience |
No dryness | dry |
Temperature change |
Slow heating up,
Slow cooling down |
Fast heating up,
Fast cooling down |
Conveniency |
Washable, Collapsible | No host, more portable |
We can see from the chart, water heating blanket is safer and more comfortable, but with a host, is less portable, as an upgraded product of electric blanket, water heating blanket is suitable for a wider range of people while the price is also a bit higher.
