We like that it comes in a range of colours – we tested light pistachio, but there’s mole and dark charcoal, too. As with many other blankets with removable controls, the placement of the attachment could use some more thought, but otherwise, it’s a comfy choice. I found it sat where my shoulders were and required extra padding for me not to feel bothered by it. This Dreamland throw felt a tad smaller than some heated throws in this line up – definitely one to keep to yourself and not offer to share.

Like some of the other Silentnight electric blankets, the Comfort Control fits snugly to the mattress using a pair of elasticated straps that loop below, eliminating the concern of corner straps pinging off during the night, or the faff of cords. We found that this throw kept us very warm indeed thanks to a combination of the heating elements and the faux fur. The Silentnight Teddy Fleece Electric Blanket helps you to keep you extra cosy and warm over the colder months.We liked that it came in a different colour other than grey – ours was teal, although we’d say it’s more of a dark blue to our eyes – and it is one of the most lightweight we tried, which is great if you don’t like being weighed down or tend to overheat under heavy layers. We also didn’t detect any cold patches and while the cables are well spread out over the blanket, it didn’t feel too bulky when we were sat under it. This is great if you want it in the car, or the seat you want to use it on is just a bit too far from a plug socket. ULTRA FAST HEAT UP: The electric blanket heats up in just minutes so that you can feel super cosy as soon as you get into bed. The electric blanket is made from 100% polyester which is soft to touch but durable, providing added comfort to your mattress.

You do have to sit close to a plug socket though, as it requires being plugged in while in use, but there are three heat settings on it, and we found it warmed up in around five minutes. We currently haven’t received answers to the questions on this product, but we will update this page the moment we do. Secure the electrical blanket to your mattress using the elasticated straps, simply slip the straps underneath the bottom of your mattress.

This blanket’s control is just 70W, meaning that running it at the maximum heat setting for an hour (based on a 34p per kWh) will cost slightly more than 2p. In fact, it’s the perfect answer for those of us who are style conscious and want a throw that looks great draped over the sofa.

If you’re after a mattress protector-style electric blanket then the Dreamland snowed in would be our pick – it’s well-made, comes with dual controls and is easy to use. There are also six heat settings, and if you stick it on the highest setting it will preheat super quickly. On one side it’s a deep-pile Sherpa fabric that creates a bed that just needs to be snuggled into – even when the blanket itself is switched off.

As the cold weather starts to bite, thoughts turn to when we’re going to crack and put the heating on for the first time.We felt toasty under this blanket and liked that there were so many heat options so we could be like Goldilocks and find the temperature that was just right. Pre- heating your bed for 1 hour on a low heat setting costs from as little as 1p, so you can afford to cosy up night after night. The Comfort Control Electric Blanket by Silentnight helps you to take complete control of your comfort and warmth. Although to be extra safe, it’s always advisable to exercise caution and not leave it turned on for longer than you need.
