convection
Electrical energy is transformed into heat energy when an electric blanket warms a bed. The blanket contains heating elements that convert the electrical energy into heat, providing warmth to the bed and its surroundings.
An electric heat pad primarily uses conduction to transfer heat from the pad to the body. It produces heat through electrical resistance in wires or an element inside the pad, which then warms the surface that comes into direct contact with the body.
Conduction is the type of heat transfer where heat energy is carried by particles. It occurs through direct contact between particles, causing them to transfer heat energy from one another.
Radiation is the type of heat transfer that occurs in the form of waves. This transfer of heat can occur through empty space and does not require a medium. Examples include sunlight and heat transfer from a fire.
The sun heating a lake is an example of heat transfer through radiation.

It is a blanket that warms. The clue is in the name. Overwhelmingly, the type of blanket most befitting this description for sale on the internet is an electric blanket- a blanket that is electrically heated.

Can I use a woollen underlay or mattress protector with my electric blanket? Yes, if you have a Safe & Sound electric blanket manufactured in 2005 or later, it can be used in conjunction with an underlay, providing it does not have a heavy rubber backing. The underlay or mattress protector can be placed either on top of the electric blanket or underneath it. Please note that your electric blanket may take longer to heat up should you place the underlay over the top of it. If you have any other Sunbeam electric blanket (i.e. not Safe & Sound) or one manufactured before 2005, you should only place the underlay or mattress protector underneath the electric blanket. Placing a heavy underlay over the top of this type of blanket may trap the heat and inadvertently activate the safety overheat protection system, which cannot be reset. If using a magnetic underlay, you should check with the supplier of the underlay to ensure its effectiveness when used in conjunction with an electric blanket.

It is radiation, as that is the only heat transfer that can occur in a vacuum (the universe).

Yes, you can use an electric blanket with a memory foam mattress topper. You might actually enjoy the feel of the mattress more when using an electric blanket because they often times feel different depending on the tempurature.
