Slumberdown Wonderfully Warm Electric Blanket King Size - Dual Control 9-Heat Settings Luxury Heated Fleece Blanket for Bed with Auto Timer - Easy Fit, Comfortable, Machine Washable (160cm x 150cm)

Product Information

If you sleep with a partner, look out for the dual control function, which allows one side of the bed to heat up independently to another. With 9 temperature options, 4 timer settings, and zonal heating for separate body and foot warmth, it’s the perfect way to find exactly the right temperature for you and your partner. In terms of material, it’s much nicer than all the others, made of a soft velvet that is machine-washable and can go in the tumble dryer. I found this in many ways the best blanket, mainly because the fluffy sheepskin-style fleece isn’t thick at all – and bedsheets are easier to attach and keep flat on a thinner electric blanket. There’s really not much separating this and the Slumberdown, apart from a slightly annoying pad connecting the blanket to the plug that I found myself kicking a few times at night.

We want all our products to set the standards for creating your perfect sleep space, helping you drift off and wake up refreshed. This Wonderfully Warm electric blanket has reinforced elasticated straps to ensure it fits securely on your king size mattress to a depth of 35cm. 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. It connects to a mains plug but has dual control so you and anyone you share a bed with can control your own heat settings.Our luxury, quilted fleeced electric blanket will keep you blissfully warm and cosy all through the night. It has 3 easily-adjustable heat settings, which help you find just the right level of warmth, however cold it is outside. You could of course use it to heat up your bed, but it would move around as you toss and turn, since it doesn’t have attachment straps.

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. Together with the rest of the world, we are watching the tragic and unprovoked attacks unfold in Ukraine with sadness and disbelief. Stanley agrees: “If you have problems with circulation, or medical problems where you are feel cold, it could be beneficial.The heat didn’t feel quite as potent as the Mylek, though depending on your preferences, that’s not necessarily a problem.

They are tested to comply with all the appropriate UK standards and have all been developed by sleep experts to ensure they are fit for purpose. 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. For your peace of mind, all our electric blankets have the BEAB mark of approval and a 2 year complete guarantee. You can even control your own side of the bed: this king size heated blanket comes with dual digital controllers for ultimate personalisation.High-resistance wires – these days often made of carbon fibre – heat up as an electrical current passes through them. The hottest setting was scalding; the lowest enough to just remove the sharp frosty feeling on entering a bed on a cold winter night. While health benefits shouldn’t be exaggerated, you might find if you suffer from a condition like arthritis or poor circulation that an electric blanket can alleviate some of the pain.

Safety-wise there is very little to worry about, but look out for British Electrotechnical Approvals Board (BEAB) approval. The best thing is the even warmth-distribution, right down to your feet (in fact it’s slightly warmer at that end), and the softness of the machine-washable fleece. This is because the experts we spoke to agreed they were the best option, and said a high tog duvet and a warm pillow should be sufficient to keep you snug at night.I use this between me and my blanket on particularly cold nights, although the target audience to judge by the box is women who sit on the sofa under an electric blanket, nursing a steaming cup of hot chocolate and presumably watching Friends for the 30th time. Over 95% of our products are manufactured here in the UK by the leading European manufacturer of filled bedding products.
