Our Story

Electric Blanket Australia was founded in 2019 by a small group of home comfort enthusiasts who noticed a significant gap in the Australian market: reliable, trustworthy information about electric blankets was surprisingly hard to find. While browsing retail websites and reading generic product descriptions, we realised that Australian families deserved better guidance when making decisions about heated bedding for their homes.

What started as a simple comparison blog has grown into Australia's most comprehensive resource for electric blanket information. Our team now includes former electrical safety inspectors, sleep health researchers, and consumer advocates who share a common goal: helping Australians make informed purchasing decisions while prioritising safety above all else.

We understand the unique challenges of Australian winters. From the biting cold of Tasmanian nights to the unexpected chill that sweeps through Melbourne homes, we've experienced firsthand how the right heated bedding can transform your sleep quality. Our team members have personally tested dozens of electric blankets over the years, evaluating everything from heat distribution patterns and controller responsiveness to fabric durability and wash-ability.

Unlike many product comparison sites, we don't accept payment for reviews or allow manufacturers to influence our recommendations. Our revenue comes from affiliate partnerships with retailers like Amazon Australia, but our editorial process remains completely independent. If we recommend a product, it's because our testing and research genuinely supports it as a quality choice for Australian consumers.

What We Do

Our work extends far beyond simple product comparisons. We're committed to:

  • Safety Education: Publishing comprehensive guides on electric blanket safety, maintenance, and proper usage to prevent accidents and extend product lifespan
  • Independent Research: Analysing Australian electrical safety standards, reviewing recall notices, and monitoring industry developments
  • Consumer Advocacy: Helping readers understand warranty rights, return policies, and what to look for when shopping for heated bedding
  • Honest Comparisons: Providing side-by-side product comparisons based on actual specifications, user feedback, and expert analysis

We believe that everyone deserves access to quality information about the products they bring into their homes. Whether you're a first-time electric blanket buyer or looking to upgrade your current heated bedding setup, our guides are designed to give you the knowledge you need to choose wisely and use your products safely.
