Best Heated Blankets

There’s nothing quite like snuggling up under a warm, cosy blanket on a cold winter night. But if you’re looking for some extra warmth, heated blankets are the way to go.

Beyond producing toasty heat, heated blankets offer impressive health benefits.

Firstly, they improve blood circulation throughout the night, which can help ease joint and muscle pain.

Secondly, they provide allergy relief by reducing moisture in the bed and killing dust mites, potentially curbing those pesky sniffles.

And let’s not forget the savings on your central heating bill!

Today, we’ll review the best heated blankets, assessing the different types, key buying considerations, and sharing some of our favourites.

Let’s get into it.

Heated blankets come in three broad types: electric blankets, heated throws, and dual-control blankets.

We’ve unpacked each type below, so you can pick the best one to suit your space.

Electric blankets are the most common type of heated blanket. They’re designed to be used as an additional layer on your bed, typically placed on top of your regular sheets.

Electric blankets have integrated heating elements that warm up when plugged into an electrical outlet.

Key Features

Heated throw blankets are perfect for staying warm while lounging on the couch.

They’re a bit smaller than electric blankets, making them ideal for solo snuggling!

For a super-stylish, cosy option, cocoon yourself in this Grey Heated Blanket when the cold weather bites.

Dual control heated blankets are a gamechanger for couples who can’t agree on the perfect temperature.

 Engineered with separate heating zones and individual controls, you can each set the temperature just how you like it.

No more battling over the duvet!   

Key Features

There are a few considerations when choosing the best heated blanket for you.

Here’s what to look out for:

Look for heated blankets with multiple heating settings – this is key to adjusting the temperature to your liking. Because there’s nothing worse than having a heater stuck on one unbearable heat level.

Auto shut-off is another essential feature. It prevents overheating by deactivating the blanket after a set period – ideal if you’re prone to nodding off!

Heated blankets come in various materials, the most popular being polyester, microfibre, and cotton.

When choosing, it’s best to pick a fabric that feels comfortable against your skin – you’ll be spending a lot of time snuggled up in it after all!

All VonHaus heated blankets are crafted with fleecy polyester for toasty warmth and a supersoft touch – you can’t go wrong!

Size matters too.

Heated blankets share the same measurements as bedding, so you’ll find sizes from single through king.

Top tip: Single heated blankets are perfect for the sofa or draping over a chair!

Energy efficiency is important to consider, especially if you’ll be snuggling up in your heated blanket a lot.

So, look for blankets that offer efficient heating with low energy consumption – it’s kind to your wallet and the planet. Win-win!

Safety is a top priority when using any electrical appliance.

Ensure your heated blanket has safety certifications and features such as overheat protection and automatic shut-off.

Not all heated blankets are created equal, and many don’t include these non-negotiable features.
