I just bought this electric blanket, but it doesn't specify whether it can be left on overnight or not. It cost me $30 for a twin size, so I know it wasn't a really wonderful model or anything.

Um. RTFM.
It depends if you want to burn yourself or not.

I never heard of an electric blanket that couldn't be left on overnight. It should be automatic with a thermostat and keep the temperature fairly constant. Does it have a UL rating? If so, it should be compliant with all the safety requirements.

yes, i have herd about the cancer thing with the electric blankets. if im cold i use 2 really thick comforters, usually does it. or the ones you can get form the swap meet. those blankets weigh 20 pounds(not really but they are heavy) maybe just get a electric room heater with a thermostat it turns of and on at night to keep a constant temp.

Some people think electric blankets may cause cancer etc. You can choose what to buy into as you wish. Personally I have found that down comforters are amazing. They keep the heat in, they breathe and you can use them throughout the year (also no weird wires bulging under the surface).

yes you can, I do but I turn it down when I go to bed. It is also a good Idea to put a Blanket between you and the electric blanket along with one or two on top of it to keep the heat in.

Most electric blankets are made to use throughout the night when you are in your bed. This is a known brand.
Just make sure to turn it off when you get up in the morning.
It will keep you nice and toasty warm throughout the night!!

You can leave it on for at least 8 hours, according to the 'video demo' in the ad. I think, since it is a Sunbeam blanket, that it's totally safe to leave on overnight AS LONG AS you don't 'tangle your blankets' when you sleep at night.

Plug this into a timer, it comes on a half hour before you go to bed and shuts off sometime in the night. That way you don't leave it on accidentally. Remember, this was probably made in China where they don't care about your personal safety one bit.

For safety sake you should turn if off before you go to sleep. In some rare cases they have been known to catch fire. Much better for you if you are awake if that happens. Usually it works well to turn it on a little while before you get in so it's nice and cozy then shut it off before you doze off. Stay warm.

Electric is electric- you should never do that. The warning was only left off because it was the company that made the product from Walmart that was too cheap to spend the $$$ to printout the warning labels
