Then, via the control pad (or your smart phone) you switch it on, and choose between heat settings and – on the better models – select a time. How safe is an electric blanket?

As the winter cold sets in, an electric blanket could just be the friend you need. Unlike the heavy covers your grandmother used to inflict on you, the best electric blankets these days are soft and light, with wires you’ll barely notice – and thankfully much safer and affordable, too. The top brands like Silentnight, Dreamland and Slumberdown are just as comforting as a weighted blanket (the currently popular sleeping aid), but they keep you warm and, some say, can also alleviate muscle aches and joint pains.For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

Choose settings 1-6 for slower heat up and moderate warmth, or 7-9 for faster, ultimate cosiness.

None showed significant wear and tear, and all passed the test.

electric blankets and heated throws - Which? Best electric blankets and heated throws - Which?

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. 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. RELAX SAFELY: Features Heatsafe overheat protection for total peace of mind. The Silentnight Heated Throw is uniquely designed with stitched channels to prevent dangerous hots spots, plus features auto shut off after 2 hours for safety.You don't have permission to access "http://www.argos.co.uk/browse/home-and-furniture/bedding/electric-blankets/c:29472/brands:silentnight/" on this server.
