Phil, a friend of mine and I have been talking about heating blanket elements. It seems like it would work and be as safe as sleeping under it. One problem is the 110 volts, but if the resistance per foot is measured and 12 volts is used we think it might just work. That is about as far as we have gone with the idea.
