It's not true.

And neither is the electric blanket one. I frequently leave my side of the bed on all night and look, and I almost never burst into flames.

I slept on an electric blanket back in the 90's that was left on and caught fire.  Might be different now with modern elements but that definitely went up.  I remember hurling it downstairs as it was quite hot and dragging it outside.
