Product Information

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. All the blankets passed. With three heat settings and a pre-heat switch so you can get straight into a warm bed, you don't have to worry about getting too hot either as they incorporate an overheating protection facility. Unlike electric blankets of old, these electric under blankets are elasticated, so are simple to fit over your bed – and even when the electric blanket is off you'll still be sleeping on soft, fleecy luxury. Shop premium brands like Dreamland for heated under blankets that slip over your mattress and under your sheets for your cosiest and warmest sleep yet. Why use an Electric Blanket? There are also some incredible economic benefits to owning an electric blanket. Costing just pennies to run, sandwiching yourself between your electric blanket and duvet is a low-cost way to keep you toasty warm throughout the night. Much better than relying on the central heating to warm the whole house, when settling down for the night, a cost-efficient electric blanket might be just what you need. Heated Electric Throws There's also a handy timer setting for the heat too - you can choose between one, three or nine hours, and it will automatically shut off after this time. We think the one hour setting is ideal if you want to pop it on when you're sleepy, but are worried about it being left on if you do nod off. Design Durability After testing, each electric blanket and heated throw is washed and dried five times to simulate wear and tear. We then conduct a full electrical safety test on each one. None showed significant wear and tear, and all passed the test.

On unboxing the blanket, our tester was impressed, particularly with the size and the softness of the material. She found it was straightforward to get started too: "This was my first heated blanket, so I wasn’t 100% sure how to set it up. However, it was really easy and intuitive." Sometimes we can be hesitant to wash something with an oh-so-cosy texture for fear of losing some of that softness. However, our tester had no issues at all when washing the blanket. We’ve also got Dreamland blankets that are suitable for double, queen and super king size beds. So, no matter how big your bed is or who you’re sharing it with, you’ll be able to enjoy a warm and comfy night’s sleep throughout the chillier months. Heated throws with heaps of personality She also loved how stylish the blanket looked initially too, noting how easily it fitted in with her other decor.It may be an investment, but it's one that pays in the long run: "I’ve recommended it to many of my friends who work from home already as a replacement for having their heating on during the day. I think it’s definitely worth it if you’re struggling to stay a comfortable temperature at home."

We’ve even got Dreamland throws that are patterned on one side and wonderfully fleecy on the other. Or, why not go for all-out luxury with a fabulous faux fur blanket? Whatever your style is, you’re bound to find a sophisticated, soft, and above all, practical heated blanket solution with Dreamland. With the ongoing cost of living crisis and energy bills remaining high, finding ways to stay warm and comfortable at home without breaking the bank has become a priority for many. This is where the best electric blanket and heated throw can help, offering an affordable and energy-efficient solution for keeping warm and cosy in colder temperatures.

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.
