What is wrong with a normal blanket? I suppose it takes a while to trap heat, but that is only momentary. They can certainly cope with cold weather as mountain climbers use their equivalent in -45C temperatures: down bags.
I'm not sure how cold everyone's home gets, but I would think most would be comfortable breathing air hovering around freezing. If air is colder then that, increased attic insulation would be a cheap and needed addition. If that seems like too much of a hassle, masks exist that trap warmth and moisture from exhaled breath.
Lastly, electricity is an inefficient way to heat. Essentially, burning fossil fuel is converted into electricity, transported through an inefficient power distribution system (where energy is lost as heat), and changed back into heat through an electric furnace. You might as well burn the fossil fuel at home...
I'd close all the vents to rooms other than my bedroom and figure out a way regulate just that area's temperature (another thermostat?).
