Product Information

In comparison to other available throws on the market, this throw is among pricier ones. That is due to its quality and the long history of the company that made the electric throw. Also, larger sizes are always more expensive. There are many different models of large heated throws and blankets on the market. Since we are focusing on the manufacturers that offer large, extra-large, or oversized heated blankets and throws, they will be more expensive. However, the price will depend on a manufacturer and specific models and their features. Electronic Parts Of The Blanket

The fabric of the heated throw is extremely soft velvet plush. This fabric is perfect for a heated blanket because it is very comfortable. Also, the velvet plush enables even distribution of the heat. This model comes in only one color; mushroom beige. You will know what you should focus on when buying a large or oversized heated blanket. Also, you will read about the best models of oversized heated throws and their advantages. At the Good Housekeeping Institute, our experts made up a double bed to test each electric blanket on, measuring how evenly temperature was distributed as well as whether the warmth fluctuated or remained consistent over an extended period of time, across different heat settings. We measured energy consumption, too.

There's often some confusion between heated throws and heated blankets. Whilst electric blankets are predominantly used as bedding, heated throws are used in other parts of the home. The maintenance of the throw is simple. You can use the washing machine to wash the throw. The electric throw is oversized but it will fit in the washing machine. But remember to unplug the electric parts of the blanket. Durability After testing, each electric blanket and heated throw is washed and dried five times to simulate wear and tear. We then conduct a full electrical safety test on each one. None showed significant wear and tear, and all passed the test. We also tested an electric blanket, which buttons up, allowing you to wear it like a poncho to retain heat. Aside from the extra design features that make them wearable, these ponchos operate in an almost identical manner to electric throws, with a range of temperatures and a timer.

The best heated throw blanket is always a hot topic on the Mumsnet forums when cold weather comes around. These snuggly spreads are much loved as they could be the key to keeping warm this winter while saving money on your heating bill. They're a little similar to the best electric blankets, but while those are predominantly used as bedding, heated throws are more decorative and you can cosy up under them on the sofa. There are four sizes of the throw available. If you are interested in larger electric blanket sizes, I suggest king and queen-sized blankets.

Do you need an electric blanket that will keep you warm but cannot find one large enough for your bed? Read my article and you might find what you need. All the heated blankets on our list have auto-shut off settings, which turn them off after a certain amount of time, minimising the risk of any accidents. Some even let you decide how long they run for, thanks to nifty in-built timers. Given the current economic climate, it’s understandable that you may be looking for more cost-effective ways to stay warm and save on your heating bill. Electric blankets can come in handy here, as they're becoming increasingly more energy efficient. First, a word on safety: Electric throw blankets emit extremely low, non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) as they heat up. Many standard household appliances also emit EMFs, and they’re generally considered low-risk for the majority of the population to use. However, because of these EMFs, the fragility of the electric wires inside of the blanket, and the prolonged heat exposure that these products provide, certain users may want to proceed with caution.

The blanket or throw you are buying should be user-friendly when it comes to controllers. Especially if you are buying the heated blanket as a gift. Also, it should be low maintenance and washing machine safe. Blankets Within Your Price Range

This extra-large electric blanket comes in many different colors. And each blanket is made out of a very comfortable microlight plush. Besides, the electric blanket is reversible and on the other side, it is a Sherpa Berber fabric. Thin wires are also a feature that makes the throw very comfortable. Note that dual control under blankets are plugged in on both sides, meaning they can use double the electricity versus those with a single control. How we test electric blankets
