An ideal addition to your bedroom as the winter months approach, with single control, 3 heat settings, and Sleep Safe overheat protection. If you buy your blanket from a reputable UK retailer, as we did for our tests, then it should be safe. But perhaps the biggest incentive is the high cost of electricity. At the time of writing, a typical 2000W electric heater in your bedroom could cost 68p an hour to run. By contrast, a 100W electric blanket would cost less than 4p. Cost per hour is based on using the blanket on its highest setting because, following our testing, we think that this is the setting you're more likely to use. The electric blankets we've tested First, you need to decide whether you want an electric blanket, which sits between your mattress and bedsheet, or an electric throw, which can be used for sleeping under or snuggling under on the sofa. That’s the first way to narrow down your search. Other things to consider are material, which could be fleece, polyester or velvet, for example, and size meaning single, double or king.

There’s something luxurious about this 100 per cent cotton Dreamland electric blanket, a far cry from the cheap polyester feeling of some brands. Unlike others on this list, there’s no elasticated skirt or straps, instead it relies on a rather effective anti-slip grip on the underside. In many adverts for electric blankets or heated throws, manufacturers claim that blankets cost 'pennies to run', but what does this actually mean? The Homefront offers dual control, which helps save on energy. The LCD control pad was simple to use and, on top of choosing which side you want to heat, you can also differentiate between body and legs, with nine different temperature settings for each. My advice is that you need a cool bedroom and a warm bed. Getting into a cold bed may be perceived by your brain and body as a threat, increasing wakefulness.”I found that some cheaper blankets had a tendency to come lose or crease up when I moved around at night; this one was fine. I liked the feature that adds extra heat to the area around your feet: in all honesty, I found in general keeping my feet snug and warm quite nice, whereas too much heat on my body made me feel stuffy and affected my sleep.

Comfort A panel of five volunteers assesses each electric blanket and heated throw for comfort. There is quite a big difference in how snuggly each one is and underwires are more noticeable in some of them. For electric blankets, we also assess how easy each one is to attach to a mattress and how comfortable each one is to lie on under a fitted sheet. SUPER SOFT: Covered in a super soft fleece for maximum cosiness, our heated throw is perfect for the colder months. Measures 120 x 160cm. The best electric blankets to keep you warm at night in 2023 (and save money on heating this winter)The blanket itself is thin, so apart from those chunky pads I didn’t feel a thing. There were only three settings, which is far less than most competitors, which means there’s less control over heat. The first setting was fine for eliminating chill, the third was quite toasty, and the second somewhere in between.

Get cosy with the perfect winter warmer! This Silentnight electric blanket takes just a few minutes to warm your bed. Our Luxury Heated Throw helps to keep you extra cosy and warm over the colder months whilst you relax. The super soft fleece provides extra cosiness, whilst the 3 heat settings allow you to choose a temperature that is just right for you. A cosy night in is just minutes away! There were nine settings for feet and body, ranging from boiling-hot nine to barely noticeable one; four or five was optimal for me. The timer has four settings: one, five, eight and 12 hours. Better blankets have elastic skirting but cheaper models use straps, which can be fiddly. More timing options and heat settings can also make a difference. The best electric blankets let you set different temperatures for your upper and lower body (since feet tend to get colder). If you sleep with a partner, look out for the dual control function, which allows one side of the bed to heat up independently to another. Finally, we take into account the durability of each blanket by washing and drying it five times after testing.Another heated throw, this one a little larger than the previous but still not quite double bed sized. Like the Dreamland, the material is soft, and in this case, also fleecy. I love how multifunctional it is. I’ve sat with it on my lap as I work at my desk, I’ve snuggled up underneath it on the sofa and I’ve used it as an extra layer while the nights hit the minus temperatures. The electric blanket has six heat settings that cost between less than 1p and 8p per hour to use, and three timer options of one, three or nine hours. It connects to a mains plug but has dual control so you and anyone you share a bed with can control your own heat settings.
