Product Information

They're also perfect for lounging on the sofa, taking the edge off on a cool evening or for treating your guests to, when you have people over. We found that this throw kept us very warm indeed thanks to a combination of the heating elements and the faux fur.

Heat-up time We attach temperature sensors to six different locations on each electric blanket or heated throw and record how quickly each blanket heats up over a 20-minute period. Ease of use and durability were also important, as was easy care – could we machine wash them if spillages occurred? This Alexa-Enabled blanket allows you to control your blanket by voice command or the free Silentnight app, giving you flexibility and peace of mind.

As the cold weather starts to bite, thoughts turn to when we’re going to crack and put the heating on for the first time.

It also means you don’t need to put up with feeling cold, and they can help you save on your electric bills. On their highest settings, we found that electric blankets cost anywhere between 2p and 7p an hour to run. A heated throw should be decorative and practical, whereas an electric blanket has a distinctly utilitarian look. There are also six heat settings, and if you stick it on the highest setting it will preheat super quickly. The heat was mainly focused in a few patches on the blanket, rather than throughout, but they’ve been placed to ensure they’re at the points you’re going to be in contact with the pad.

It’s also amazing if you have a sore upper back or shoulders as the heat can relieve aches and pains.

I have a Dreamland heated electric mattress topper having previously had an electric underblanket and overblanket. Curl up with the cozy comfort of the electric heated throw, luxuriously crafted with nine adjustable heating levels for exceptional warmth. On sale and available online from Futura Direct UK our Dreamcacther range of electric heated throws and blankets offer a luxurious, plush and soft textured-fleece blanket in a variety of colours including grey and brown as well as a faux fur electric throw.

To test electric blankets and heated throws, we've designed a test that captures how quickly and evenly each blanket heats up. We also didn’t detect any cold patches and while the cables are well spread out over the blanket, it didn’t feel too bulky when we were sat under it. Use the clearly marked buttons to cycle between nine heating modes, from gentle warmth to ultra toasty. The fan of cosy sleeping could heat up their side of the bed by using their controls and the six temperature settings, while the tester who preferred colder sleeping conditions could put their side on low or even off.Testing was done with a couple who are famously hard to please, and like different temperatures to sleep. We also loved the stylish herringbone design and the choice of rich colourways - very classy indeed. Very pleased with the blankets and would recommend to anyone who maybe feels the cold or just wants a stylish looking cosy blanket which you can leave folded on a sofa or chair. You do have to sit close to a plug socket though, as it requires being plugged in while in use, but there are three heat settings on it, and we found it warmed up in around five minutes.

It's a must-have in case you accidentally drift off while it's on, and you can usually choose between different time settings up to nine hours.Think of it a little bit like a hot water bottle - except it won't cool down during the night, unless you want it to. They're a little similar to the best electric blankets, but while those are predominantly used as bedding, heated throws are more decorative and you can cosy up under them on the sofa. Made of 100 percent polyester, the Grey electric blanket presents a soft surface that is smooth and soothing to the touch. With with a soft, cream-coloured fleece lining on one side and a soft-to-the-touch tactile outer side, heated throws don't come much cosier than the Dreamland Velvety edition. The timer means the heat should cut off after a specified time of your choice, so you don't need to worry if you fall asleep while snuggled up in it.
