Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket King Size - Heated Electric Fitted Underblanket with 3 Heat Settings, Fast Heat Up and Easy Fit Straps - Machine Washable - King Size 137x165 cm

Product Information

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. Not only does it look great – and highly inviting – draped over the corner of a sofa, the LED controls offer six temperature settings and three auto shut-off timers – one, three or nine hours. These plug into the mains more often than not (although there are some battery-operated ones) and warm you up as you lie under them.

Aside from the first use when you have to wait longer, the ultra-fast heat up option is really great. The controls are easy to use, with six heat settings – including a fast-heat setting – and three options for the auto shut off duration. Fleecy on one side, and soft and smooth on the other, this Lakeland heated throw feels as cosy as can be.

And if you have any questions after reading our Silentnight Electric Blanket Review, feel free to ask us in the comment section! 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. The fan of cosy sleeping could heat up their side of the bed by using their controls and the six temperature settings, while the tester who preferred colder sleeping conditions could put their side on low or even off. There are single controls with three heat settings meaning if you share a bed, you both need to like it at the same temperature. Level 1 and 2 will probably be used most often, while heat level 3 will only be used when it is very cold.

The Sleep Advisors have tested Silentnight Electric Blanket for you, offered by one of the UK sleep industry household names – Silentnight. It’s made from microfleece, which makes it soft to lay on all night and cushions against the feeling of the wires. You can see exactly what you’ve set by looking at the LED display and it’ll tell you whether the number you’re looking at corresponds to the heat or the timer. When we’re working from home we find we’re cold, don’t want to turn the heating on (hello crazy energy bills) and a blanket keeps slipping off our lap. It’s also amazing if you have a sore upper back or shoulders as the heat can relieve aches and pains.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. If it’s ok to be put in a machine, avoid using a full cycle like you would with the rest of your laundry. You should avoid using hot water bottle and an electric blanket at the same time, plugging wet electric blanket or using an electric blanket with an adjustable bed or a waterbed.

You probably assume that the electric blanket is not machine washable and then you wonder how you are going to maintain it, because every sleep product gets dirty quickly.There are three heat settings and an LED display on the controls, which allow you to easily see how warm your blanket is/is going to get. There are dual controls, which means you can govern the temperature on your side of the bed without interference from co-sleepers. There are three LED lights which indicate which heat setting you have it on, which range from 28C to 42C. 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.
