Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket Double - Heated Electric Underblanket with 3 Heat Settings, Fast Heat Up, Overheat Protection and Easy Fit Straps - Machine Washable - Double 135x120cm

Product Information

The electric blanket is made from 100% polyester which is soft to touch but durable, providing added comfort to your mattress. It’s made from microfleece, which makes it soft to lay on all night and cushions against the feeling of the wires.

It feels premium, made from crisp 200-thread count cotton that’s going to help you regulate your temperature. Secure the electrical blanket to your mattress using the elasticated straps, simply slip the straps underneath the bottom of your mattress. Cord length - Check the cord length of your blanket, it would be very frustrating to find the blanket won’t reach the bed. It is quite bulky though; the well-spread-out wires make sure there are no cold patches, but you can definitely feel all the cables and it’s quite heavy to lug.Fleecy on one side, and soft and smooth on the other, this Lakeland heated throw feels as cosy as can be. Switch the controller to your preferred settings depending on how chilly you are, then get ready to feel the warmth.

An ideal addition to your bedroom as the winter months approach, with single control, 3 heat settings, and Sleep Safe overheat protection. 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. We liked that it came in a different colour other than grey – ours was teal, although we’d say it’s more of a dark blue to our eyes – and it is one of the most lightweight we tried, which is great if you don’t like being weighed down or tend to overheat under heavy layers. 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. Make sure to read the instructions before using your electric blanket – this has all the information you need to prevent any hazards, such as how to use and care for your blanket.

We found that if we wanted it on overnight, we were quite glad it switched itself off so we didn’t wake up a hot, sweaty mess. As sleep experts we recommend turning off the appliance before falling asleep to regulate your core temperature for a less disturbed sleep. The electric blanket should be "sandwiched" between the mattress topper and the bottom sheet that you sleep on. Any blankets where the wires were too bulky or the fabric too itchy were discounted from this round-up.

Although to be extra safe, it’s always advisable to exercise caution and not leave it turned on for longer than you need. There are three LED lights which indicate which heat setting you have it on, which range from 28C to 42C. There are also six heat settings, and if you stick it on the highest setting it will preheat super quickly. The blanket is machine washable, disconnect the controllers and pop into your washing machine so you can enjoy snuggly comfort time and time again. But what we particularly liked about this heated throw was how easy it was to use, despite having 20 settings.The single control has six heat settings and we tended to whack it to six to prewarm, and then turn it down when we were under it.

If it’s ok to be put in a machine, avoid using a full cycle like you would with the rest of your laundry. We found it pretty lightweight, and having it around our shoulders meant our hands were free to type away.
