think Imetec Ltd makes the blanket for several brands including Dreamland= /Sleepwell. I had a long chat with a very helpful lady in customer support.
Our blanket has two sides. Each side has an independent control with its ow= n plug. The control is simple and neat. Designed to be slept on. Multiple t= emperature settings. Multiple time settings - we mostly set it to shut off = after an hour. Very quick to warm up - minutes.
It's washable, but the superking is so large that it won't fit in a domesti= c washing machine. We put a mattress cover on top of it and then a sheet so= we don't have to wash it so often.
We love it. Definitely a marriage saver. It's a delight to get into bed. We= don't have to spend so much on heating the whole bedroom.
