Dreamcatcher Electric Heated Throw Blanket 160 x 120cm, Machine Washable Soft Fleece Overblanket with Timer and 9 Control Heat Settings Black

Product Information

We think it's ideal for working from home too – you'll get all the warming qualities of the best heated gilet without feeling like you're wearing an outdoor coat. We spent an extensive amount of time sifting through Mumsnet's forums for our users' recommendations on the best heated throws they rate. The Dreamcatcher Electric Blanket also comes fitted with an auto switch off function so you can enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep every night without having to worry about fire safety.

The main drawback is that you can't snuggle up under it with your family like more traditional throw designs, but if your budget allows, you can kit the little ones out in their own kids' blanket hoodie instead. It's soft, comfortable and is suitable to throw in the washing machine when it's looking a little worse for wear. 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. The Electric blanket has an elasticated skirt to keep it firmly in place all night long and is easy to use thanks to the LED colour coded control. During testing, we found the blanket super cosy and warm – in fact, the higher settings were sometimes a little too hot!Whilst electric blankets are predominantly used as bedding, heated throws are used in other parts of the home. Invest in one of these along with other heat-preserving options like the best draught excluder and thermal curtains and your thermostat will soon start gathering dust! It has an impressive 10 temperature levels, so you can use the high settings and switch your heating off completely or set it low, so you only pay from 3p per hour for a little extra warmth on really chilly nights. We also loved the stylish herringbone design and the choice of rich colourways - very classy indeed. Experience a luxuriously smooth and comforting texture with the Dreamcatcher Deluxe Electric Heated Throw.

By doing this, we whittled our longlist down and chose a selection of products that we think offer something for everybody. Along with other ideas like using the best hot water bottle and wearing the cosiest women's slippers, these electric throws focus on heating the person and not the room to stave off the cold. The Dreamland Deluxe Velvet Herringbone Heated Throw is our best luxury pick due to its gloriously soft fabric, machine washability, fast heat-up time and ease with which you can control the comforting heat. Memory foam mattresses use your body temperature to mould to your shape, by heating it with an electric blanket you will alter the material before it has a chance to mould to yourself. If you have sticky-handed toddlers or pets that will enjoy cuddling up under this throw, that’s OK, as it is machine washable.The electric blanket includes 9 heating levels, while an easy-to-operate control makes it simple to find exactly the right setting. This will depend on personal taste; while some will love a thick faux fur option, others will prefer a lightweight fleece. I have a Dreamland heated electric mattress topper having previously had an electric underblanket and overblanket.
