The Happy Marriage Blanket
I love this ad for the GE Happy Marriage Blanket.
It reads:
Have you heard of the “Happy Marriage” blanket?
If you and your husband can’t agree on how many blankets you need for perfect comfort – and he tosses them off while you shiver with cold-
You can solve this problem so easily – as so many other smart couples have done – with a General Electric “Happy Marriage” Blanket.
Just ONE fluffy-light General Electric Blanket with Dual Comfort-Selectors is all you need – and you each enjoy personal comfort.
You choose the warmth you like… he chooses his – and GE’s Sleep Guard adjusts automatically to bedroom temperature changes.
The ad goes on to say that it’s washable and available in many colors.
The funny thing is, this EXACT electric blanket is still available today. The Sunbeam blankets have dual control, even now. Personally, I prefer an electric mattress pad instead. The Sunbeam Queen size also has dual control, but it lays UNDER you, heating up, so if your partner kicks off the covers, you’ll still be warm. The best new feature they’ve added since the Sixties is the auto-off feature, so the pad turns itself off after ten hours, even if you forget to. I LOVE that feature.
Now that it’s getting colder, it’s time for me to start using the heated mattress pad again. I’m so grateful for it when the weather gets chilly.
