Silentnight Comfort Control Heated Throw - Fleece Heating Overblanket Electric Heated Throw - Luxury Machine Washable Blanket for Sofa and Bed

Product Information

Another heated throw, this one a little larger than the previous but still not quite double bed sized. Like the Dreamland, the material is soft, and in this case, also fleecy. I love how multifunctional it is. I’ve sat with it on my lap as I work at my desk, I’ve snuggled up underneath it on the sofa and I’ve used it as an extra layer while the nights hit the minus temperatures.

Better blankets have elastic skirting but cheaper models use straps, which can be fiddly. More timing options and heat settings can also make a difference. The best electric blankets let you set different temperatures for your upper and lower body (since feet tend to get colder). 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. 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.

COSY WARMTH: The throw heats up in just a few minutes so you can snuggle up and enjoy extra cosy comfort. The blanket itself is thin, so apart from those chunky pads I didn’t feel a thing. There were only three settings, which is far less than most competitors, which means there’s less control over heat. The first setting was fine for eliminating chill, the third was quite toasty, and the second somewhere in between. An ideal addition to your bedroom as the winter months approach, with single control, 3 heat settings, and Sleep Safe overheat protection.

On their highest settings, we found that electric blankets cost anywhere between 2p and 7p an hour to run. For heated throws, the range is from 2p to 5p. Cost per hour is based on using the blanket on its highest setting because, following our testing, we think that this is the setting you're more likely to use. The electric blankets we've tested Comfort A panel of five volunteers assesses each electric blanket and heated throw for comfort. There is quite a big difference in how snuggly each one is and underwires are more noticeable in some of them. For electric blankets, we also assess how easy each one is to attach to a mattress and how comfortable each one is to lie on under a fitted sheet. If you buy your blanket from a reputable UK retailer, as we did for our tests, then it should be safe.

Comfort Control Electric Blanket | Silentnight

Get cosy with the perfect winter warmer! This Silentnight electric blanket takes just a few minutes to warm your bed. There’s something luxurious about this 100 per cent cotton Dreamland electric blanket, a far cry from the cheap polyester feeling of some brands. Unlike others on this list, there’s no elasticated skirt or straps, instead it relies on a rather effective anti-slip grip on the underside. 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. All the blankets passed. I found that some cheaper blankets had a tendency to come lose or crease up when I moved around at night; this one was fine. 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. But perhaps the biggest incentive is the high cost of electricity. At the time of writing, a typical 2000W electric heater in your bedroom could cost 68p an hour to run. By contrast, a 100W electric blanket would cost less than 4p.In many adverts for electric blankets or heated throws, manufacturers claim that blankets cost 'pennies to run', but what does this actually mean?
