The Luxury Heated Throw by Silentnight helps you to keep you extra cosy and warm over the colder months whether that be whilst you’re sat on the sofa or cuddled up in bed.We found it was a great size to snuggle under, providing ample coverage, while its thick, velvety finish was soft against skin.

Modern electric blankets are designed with safety systems such as auto shut-off after a set period of use, which means you don’t have to worry about fire hazards if you leave it unattended. Energy use We attach each electric blanket and heated throw to an energy monitor and record how much money it costs to run on its highest setting. The electric heated wrap comes with 3 heat settings (Low, Medium, High) so that you can control how warm it gets underneath it. It washed well too, although it’s a bit fiddly removing the controls and the fluffy topper flattened a tad afterwards. The controls are easy to use, with six heat settings – including a fast-heat setting – and three options for the auto shut off duration.This heated throw has sleeves and a foot pouch (yes, really), with the idea being you sit on the sofa tucked up in it, feeling gloriously smug. For your peace of mind, all our electric blankets have the BEAB mark of approval and a 2 year complete guarantee.

Our selection includes heated throws, mattress covers, over blankets, mattress toppers and cushions, allowing you to find the ideal style to ensure a snug experience.

Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. During testing, we didn’t notice any cold patches and our co-tester appreciated that they didn’t need to have their side switched on, as the dual controls allow each side of the blanket to be adjusted independently. The super soft fleece provides extra cosiness, whilst the 9 heat settings allow you to choose a temperature that is just right for you. For electric blankets, we also assess how easy each one is to attach to a mattress and how comfortable each one is to lie on under a fitted sheet. And no matter how long you have the heating on before you go up to bed, you just can’t seem to get the bed cosy and warm.

Just got this in the post and it is lovely, on the photos it looks like a purple colour but in person it’s definitely grey so means that if you’re like me and fussy with colours then this will be up your alley! At the Good Housekeeping Institute, our experts made up a double bed to test each electric blanket on, measuring how evenly temperature was distributed as well as whether the warmth fluctuated or remained consistent over an extended period of time, across different heat settings.Durability After testing, each electric blanket and heated throw is washed and dried five times to simulate wear and tear. comAbout 56% % of these are sauna blanket, 1%% are red light therapy blanket, and 1%% are vacuum blackhead remover. If you want to keep warm in bed without shelling out for an electric blanket, a cheaper option is a hot water bottle. WASHABLE: The controller and cord are detachable so the poncho can be washed on a machine's delicate or handwash setting. Regular heating pads fall off and are difficult to keep in place, but Backnetix Wrap's easy-touch closure always stays in place, you never have to worry about it slipping.
