About this deal

If you share your bed, stave off arguments and get the conditions right for both of you by looking for a blanket with multiple heat zones and dual control, so you can each choose how warm you’d like it – dreamy! One charge of the blanket should last you between 90 minutes and three hours, depending on how high you have it whacked. There are two main types of heated blanket – the traditional blankets you can snuggle under or ones that are secured to your mattress, similar to a mattress topper. Yet even in these larger models, the Cozy Feet only uses one power cord, which isn’t true of all heated blankets this size.

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. Perfect for wearing over your pyjamas, Christmas pyjamas – or alone, our super-soft range will upgrade your chill time look. We will never give a product a five-star rating if it has a single fault that we're aware of, so look out for these, they're rather rare!Designed for two people to wear at the same time, prepare to make heads turn at the family Christmas party with you and your Snuddie Buddie (literally) joined at the hip. The stitching along its edges is outstanding: the fabric at the edges is folded over to hide the thread work. But if you find yourself getting chilly throughout the day – whether it's as you work from home or spend weekends on the sofa – and your dad just won't budge on the thermostat setting, a heated throw blanket (like this one) is what you need.

It's all about preference, really, but our advice would be to consider how you plan to use your blanket - are you hoping to use it on the sofa during the day and then as a throw blanket over your duvet come the nighttime? They’re perfect for snuggling up on the sofa under, or having across your lap during the day whether you’re working or relaxing. 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. 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. One thing that’s different about this blanket is its two separate heating zones are served by a single connector.If you read reviews on popular electric blankets, you’ll see many users complain their blankets stop working after a few months—sometimes just one “zone” dies out, and other times the whole thing goes kaput. You can run the cords under the bed, positioning the controller(s) on your bedside table and putting the plug into a nearby outlet. Why we l ove it: Snuggledown's luxe offering is one of the most attractive models available right now. Electric blankets are cosy and an absolute necessity as temperatures plummet – so we've reviewed the best electric blankets and heated blankets on the market to help you keep costs at a minimum, switch off the central heating from time to time and still stay warm in this weather.

We found this helpful if we were settling down for a movie night or using it during the day while we worked. To prevent these hazards, it’s essential to carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s safety precautions. If your mum instilled the fear of an early demise by means of an electric blanket left on overnight, you're not alone. Its controls are well positioned for easy access too, but it takes 30 minutes to warm up and only has three settings, with no extra foot warmth. Unfortunately, during testing I found that its heating was patchy, leaving many spots unheated for long periods of time.Each controller comes with 20 heat settings—much more than standard—and since the fabric is fairly thick, its wires aren’t as prominent. The heat was mainly focused in a few patches on the blanket, rather than throughout, but they’ve been placed to ensure they’re at the points you’re going to be in contact with the pad. There are single controls with three heat settings meaning if you share a bed, you both need to like it at the same temperature. As well as considering the type of blanket you’d like, there are plenty of features to consider too.

Most are on a timer, but some sense when they’re getting close to overheating and cut out at that point.

A heated blanket probably won't be the chicest investment you'll ever make for your interiors, but we promise that when you slide under your duvet covers into a perfectly toasty bed, you'll be thanking us. The wires inside of the Westinghouse were not particularly noticeable and its controller felt like great build quality.
