Simply pop one onto your bed and turn it on five minutes before bedtime and you can say goodbye to cold sheets and piles of blankets forever. To test electric blankets and heated throws, we've designed a test that captures how quickly and evenly each blanket heats up. There’s an adjustable timer shut off on both controls, and our testers found this electric blanket soft and comfortable, with the wiring being barely perceptible.

It's perfect for double size beds and the sofa, whether you are by yourself or snuggling up with your partner. All the heated blankets on our list have auto-shut off settings, which turn them off after a certain amount of time, minimising the risk of any accidents.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. There is quite a big difference in how snuggly each one is and underwires are more noticeable in some of them.

This Wonderfully Warm electric blanket has reinforced elasticated straps to ensure it fits securely on your mattress to a depth of 35cm. The heat was mainly focused in a few patches on the blanket, rather than throughout, but these patches are placed at the points where you’re going to be in contact with the pad. You’ll find models with variable temperature controls and with overheat protection and auto shut-off for peace of mind when you sleep. They’re perfect for snuggling up on the sofa or draping across your lap during the day whether you’re working from home or relaxing.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.

As part of our testing, we measured how much energy each blanket used and therefore how much each one costs to run. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. It washed well too, although it’s a bit fiddly removing the controls and the fluffy topper flattened a tad afterwards.If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case. Our expert was also impressed with its even heat distribution on all three heat settings, although the temperature fluctuated during prolonged use.

Cordless Heated Throw Blanket】Suitable for office nap blankets, air-conditional blanket sofa blankets, travel car blankets. Relax, as this electric blanket from Snuggledown has low energy consumption too: costing the same to run as a 100-watt lightbulb, it’s an efficient way to be comfortably cosy at bedtime without heating the rest of the house. The single control has six heat settings – we tended to whack it up to six to prewarm, then turn it down when we were under it.There are three heat settings and an LED display on the controls, which allow you to easily see how warm your blanket is or is going to get. Pre- heating your bed for 1 hour on a low heat setting costs from as little as 1p, so you can afford to cosy up night after night.
