A heating blanket usually comes in a bed size that you would keep on your bed where as a warming blanket is usually smaller like something you would wrap just your legs or upper body up in. Heating blankets usually have a temperature control so that you can decide how warm you want the heat, wamring blankets usually only have low and high.

Electric blanket and warming blanket are two different terms for the same item.

In 1990, the American Journal of Epidemiology published an article about an increased risk of brain tumors and childhood leukemia in children whose mothers had used electric blankets while pregnant. It was postulated that health problems might be caused by the electromagnetic field generated by electricity flowing through the wires in electric blankets. Although these concerns were never validated by the FDA which was ordered to look into them, in around 1992 the industry changed from one using a single wire flowing electricity in one direction, to two side-by-side wires with electricity flowing in opposite directions, effectively canceling out most of the field.

The name change, which was not universal, was to dissociate the product from the concerns about "electricity" in much the same way that nuclear magnetic resonance imagery changed its name to MRI because people associated "nuclear," which referred to the nucleus of a cell, with nuclear energy.
