Abstract: Consumers demand for textiles such as electric blankets has gradually shifted from visual requirements such as beautiful colors and novel styles to comfort and hommization. The demand for comfort of electric blankets is becoming increasingly high. Contact comfort is the main way to evaluate the comfort of textiles such as electric blankets, and objective testing of the tactile comfort of electric blankets is particularly important. Review The methods of evaluating the contact comfort of textiles in the industry are reviewed from the aspects of heat transfer characteristics, bending and torsion characteristics, surface friction characteristics, and compression characteristics. Due to the wide variety of textiles and the complexity and difficulty in quantifying the evaluation of tactile comfort, the evaluation of tactile comfort of electric blankets is a field that requires continuous research.

Key words: Electric blankets, Contact comfort, Heat transfer characteristics, Bending and torsion characteristics, Surface friction characteristics, Compression characteristics
