What is History of the Electric Blanket about?
Dr. Sidney I. Russell invented the first electric blanket in 1912 in Chicago, Illinois while trying to keep his tuberculosis patients warm without overexerting them. Before electric blankets, people used hot water bottles or stone warmers to heat their beds. Early electric blankets were a fire hazard but have since been improved with features like automatic shut-offs. The first electric blanket went on sale commercially in 1946.
