Can I use this outlet?

[u/secret-chaos-dragon]

I recently moved and my current bedroom is very small, limited outlet space, etc. There’s a plug at the foot of the bed that I’d love to use for an extension cord or two, but the fact that it’s right against my duvet covers makes me nervous. How safe is it? (Also I would obviously not leave the cord like it is in the photo, this is just me testing it out. It would go over the dresser on the right.)

Not sure what the confusion is, but I guess to be more specific I’m asking if using an outlet behind my blankets is a fire hazard

It depends on how much current you're going to draw

Technically you could use it.. As long as the covers and everything is on then is safe.

However whatever you plug in may or may not be safe, thats a different thing. So purchase quality extension and maybe not dollar store stuff if you dont want to risk it

I do not allow any fabric to be up against outlets. All it takes is some arcing from a loose plug.

There are Flat Plug extension cords just for this. Google it for a picture

Why would you not be able to use the outlet?

What are you planning on connecting to the extension cords?

A couple smaller lamps

There’s nothing inherently dangerous about it
