There were only three settings, which is far less than most competitors, which means there’s less control over heat. This polyester heated sheet features a plush, luxury soft finish and three heat settings that can heat up to 50ºC, ensuring you get the perfect temperature for a good night’s sleep. The 10 heat settings allow you to choose a temperature that is just right for you and the built-in timer allows you to select your perfect usage time. Stanley agrees: “If you have problems with circulation, or medical problems where you are feel cold, it could be beneficial. And, with two subtle yet stylish colorways to choose from, it will make an effortlessly elegant addition to your home.

I do still think the blanket would benefit from elasticated straps for extra wriggly sleepers, though.

It has the softness and inviting feeling of fur, but it is made from durable, machine-washable 100% polyester.

The heat didn’t feel quite as potent as the more expensive Homefront below, though depending on your preferences, that’s not necessarily a problem. First, would you rather have a blanket that you layer underneath your bedsheets or one you throw on top like a regular blanket? Very pleased with heated throw, it’s an absolute game changer in my eyes, wished I’d purchased one sooner.We hope some of these speak to your own style, and help you refine and redefine your own look and style philosophy in the process. I've bought two of these throws, one as a Christmas present for my son and family who like many others, are terrified of their energy bills this winter.

Other things to consider are material, which could be fleece, polyester or velvet, for example, and size – meaning single, double or king. Your blanket will come with a plug (or two if it’s dual-control), which usually extends to around a metre or so. 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 around.Ease of use and durability were also important, as was easy care – could we machine wash them if spillages occurred? The traditional electric blanket – those that lie on your bed, warming it up – might evoke images of your nana in her nightgown, but, actually, they’re a very savvy choice that have been brought bang up to date and cost as little as 1p an hour to run. Great for 2 to snuggle under and keep the chill out especially when heating has got so expensive and rather than heating the whole house while I’m just in 1 room watching film or tv for few hours this is great. four of these heated throws were purchased to help Ukrainians who ae moving into their own accommodation but struggling to pay utility bills.
