Product Information

Any risk posed by electric blankets tends to come from disreputable online sellers, or old blankets that have become worn and unsafe. To help you find the best ones available we scoured the market and asked our Top Testers Club which ones they use and why they love them. When you do turn it on it warms up in 5 minutes and there are 6 heat settings to choose from with a light-up LED display so you can adjust the heat of the throw in the dark. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

As part of our test, we washed and tumbled dried each of the blankets five times after testing, and then conducted a full electricity safety test.Heat settings – Heated throws have different heat settings to help you get the ideal level of warmth. In the mean time I am having warm foot baths (boiled water in a bowl), and using layers of regular blankets. It covers your arms to ensure they don't get cold but also leaves them free enough to read, work or do anything you like.

Blankets that have these – often size double and upwards – will have left and right zones, so the settings can be customised if there are two of you in the bed.

And when you're not requiring the warmth and wellbeing benefits, it doubles up as a stylish living room accessory. They should not be used by children as warmth for sleep as they will not be supervised and the products contain cords which are strangulation hazards. Innovative items like robot vacuum cleaners and wine coolers are among her favourite tests to date, and her most notable accomplishment is toasting 360 slices of bread in a determined bid to find the best toaster. Ideal for snuggling on the settee or draping over your bed, our heated blanket throws keep you warm and cosy on chilly nights. They tend to vary from 3 to 9 options, so depending on how exact you want your temperature, be sure to check the number of settings available.

It aced our wash tests too, emerging just as luxurious as before, so you don’t need to worry about any matting. 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. You can stay warm and snug even when you nip from the sofa to the kitchen for another mug of hot chocolate. You can also insure the argos one, as my dreamland one didn't work after its first wash (followed instructions). The one thing I will say is that if you wrap yourself up in them they don’t work as well - you need to lay them out flat so the wires are as flat as possible then the heat distributes well - I’m on an energy forum and everyone says the same thing.

for three hours while our winning blanket costs a similar amount for eight hours – but it was the most energy efficient throw we tried.
