Dreamland Antibacterial Underblanket - Single

Product Information

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. It feels premium, made from crisp 200-thread count cotton that’s going to help you regulate your temperature.

This means running an electric blanket for one hour would cost just over 3p and around 27p a night (based on 8 hours of use), which is significantly cheaper than having your central heating on all night. Today, we have millions of users a month from around the world, and assess more than 1,000 products a year. It's soft to sleep on, has a good warmth distribution, heats up in 10 minutes, and the controls are simple to use. The FLA Lending Code can be found here or alternatively you can contact us directly and we can provide you with a copy of the Lending Code. Rather than the clip attachment that most affordable blankets have, the Anti-Bacterial Heated Underblanket has two lugs that are pressed to release the control in one movement.Although to be extra safe, it’s always advisable to exercise caution and not leave it turned on for longer than you need. However, the size of the blanket was good – I didn’t feel any cold spots other than around the pillow area. This under blanket’s accompanying app means you can turn it on while you’re out, leaving you with a warm bed by the time you’re back. Most are on a timer, but some sense when they’re getting close to overheating and cut out at that point.

Available as king size (the size on test), single and double, the control for each blanket is 150W, meaning that running it at maximum for an hour (based on a 34p per kWh), will cost around 5p. 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. To make your bed the snuggly haven you deserve this winter, there’s one bit of bedding you should invest in: an electric blanket. We like that it comes in a range of colours – we tested light pistachio, but there’s mole and dark charcoal, too.This sumptuously soft Scandi Heated Sherpa Underblanket from Dreamland covers the entire mattress, so every inch of you will be cosy and snug, even if you’re one of those folk who stick their toes out during the night – it goes right over the corners and down the sides of the mattress.

Fleecy on one side, and soft and smooth on the other, this Lakeland heated throw feels as cosy as can be. This velvety, soft-as-a-baby-bunny throw comes in a gorgeous inky navy that looks super high-end and we loved the herringbone stitching on it too. During testing, we didn’t notice any cold patches and our co-tester appreciated that they didn’t need to have their side switched on as the dual controls allow each side of the blanket to be adjusted independently.We found this helpful if we were settling down for a movie night or using it during the day while we worked.

Any blankets where the wires were too bulky or the fabric too itchy were discounted from this round-up. On average, it took about 10 minutes to heat up – longer than the maker’s estimated five-minute heat up, but this may be because memory foam tends to be cooler to the touch.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. And the same technology cleverly responds to temperature changes while you sleep, cooling down as you warm up, and vice versa. Easy to use, it has a 10-minute heat-up time, with useful timers that go up in 20-minute increments. The single control has six heat settings and we tended to whack it to six to prewarm, and then turn it down when we were under it. It’s made from microfleece, which makes it soft to lay on all night and cushions against the feeling of the wires.
