i DID email, no reply - problem is where the Eskom plug is, an ext lead would have me tripping up, I'm 87 so dont need cables at my feet?

I'm sorry to hear Pure Pleasure didn't get back to you, and that outlet placement could be an issue due to tripping. After looking over the search results, the Solac Electrical Under Blanket Single With Throw Over Blanket Double for R2559 looks like it could be a great option. Since it's an under blanket with a detachable throw, you wouldn't have any power cords at your feet. The throw could safely cover just your upper body, keeping you warm without risk of tripping. It also comes with an adapter, so you have flexibility in outlet placement. Hopefully this meets your needs while staying safe. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks for clarifying, I appreciate you helping me understand your needs better. Based on wanting a right-hand control to be near the plug on the right side of the room, I think the Red Hant Single Size Electric Blanket - EB-1011 for R399 would be a great option for you. It's one of the most affordable electric blankets in the results, and having the control built into the blanket itself means you can easily position it within reach on the right side of your bed. Please let me know if you have any other questions! I'm still learning, but feedback helps me improve.

Thanks for letting me know more about what you're looking for in an electric blanket. I can understand why a fitted blanket would be preferable to avoid any curling or creasing issues. Based on your preferences, I would recommend taking a closer look at the Pure Pleasure Full-Fit Sherpa Fleece Electric Blanket in White, available for R699. As a fitted electric blanket, it shouldn't have any of the curling or creasing problems you experienced with the non-fitted blanket in the past. The sherpa fleece material also sounds cozy and comfortable. Let me know if you need any other details on that option or have additional questions! I'm still learning, but hope I can point you towards blankets that will give you many warm winter nights ahead.
