For safety, and to stop you from getting too warm if you do nod off, the throw has an auto shut-off feature that switches it off after 90 minutes, and uses the Beurer Safety System to ensure it cannot overheat. Many of our larger heated underblankets feature separately adjustable heating zones, dual controls, and app connection for control via your smartphone.

After washing, bring the heat pad to its original shape and preferably lay it flat on a clothes horse. The heat pad must not be wrung out, tumble dried, mangled, or ironed.

4 great ways to use our heat pads

Set your washing machine to a particularly gentle cycle at 30°C and use a mild laundry detergent. To ensure the heat pad has a long life, it should not be washed too often. Another time when many people get cold feet is during the many hours spent at their desk. The combination of heat and massage can help here. Electric blankets– an increasingly common dilemma during the cold seasons is whether to get into a cold bed and freeze or turn on the heating and miss out on cool, fresh air. Neither option is good enough for the sometimes long winter months. Our heated underblankets for the bed are the perfect solution and combine the benefits of both situations. We advise switching on the heated underblanket 15 to 30 minutes before going to bed. You can snuggle up in a homely warm bed when you get into bed. Now that the problem of the cold has been solved, you can go without turning on the heating and maintain the cooler ambient air. On dull rainy days and through the colder months, our range of heated throws, heat pads, heated underblankets, foot warmers and on-the-go heating products can help you beat the chill. Simply remove the detachable controller and pop the throw in your washing machine at 30°C to freshen it up when required. Just make sure it’s totally dry before you reconnect everything.
