Ease of use and durability were also important, as was easy care – could we machine wash them if spillages occurred?

Whether you’re watching tv on the sofa, curled up to read a book, or even chilly whilst working at your desk, choose this premium heated throw for a low-cost option to heat yourself rather than your whole home, day, or night.There’s something luxurious about this 100 per cent cotton Dreamland electric blanket, a far cry from the cheap polyester feeling of some brands.

Heat Settings: The king size bed electric blanket comes with 3 Heat Settings that will reach temperatures up to 50ºC keeping you warm and cosy all winter long! 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.As part of our test, we washed and tumbled dried each of the blankets five times after testing, and then conducted a full electricity safety test. It comes with a Safety Overheat Protection and an 3 Hr auto shut off, allowing you to use your throw throughout the night with a peace of mind.

We bought another one for a present for another lady who visits her and she says it’s the best gift she has ever received! The soft fleecey feel adds to the cosiness and they are big enough for two people to snuggle under on a sofa. CUT YOUR HEATING BILLS: The Cozytek electric throw allows you to save on your heating bills by turning on your heated blanket and setting your thermostat down on your heating by 10-15 percent.metres, the short-ish power cord means you’ll have to find your cosy spot fairly near to a plug socket. 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.
