Who invented Electric Blanket?
An American, named S.I. Russell, invented an electric heating pad in 1912 to warm patients suffering from tuberculosis (wasting disease affecting various parts of the body) who had to sleep out of doors.
In 1926 the British Ex-Service Mental Welfare Society Started manufacturing a heated pad invented in Germany, which later became the Thermega under blanket. In America 1937 saw the ideas of a heated over-blanket became popular in Britain at about the same time.
