Product Information

It may be an investment, but it's one that pays in the long run: "I’ve recommended it to many of my friends who work from home already as a replacement for having their heating on during the day. I think it’s definitely worth it if you’re struggling to stay a comfortable temperature at home." Hate going to bed cold? As well as investing in a brand-new winter duvet, make chillier evenings a little more bearable with a Dreamland heated blanket. Discover traditional options that sit beneath your bedding, plus those that look just like regular blankets that lie over the top of you as you slumber.

With three heat settings and a pre-heat switch so you can get straight into a warm bed, you don't have to worry about getting too hot either as they incorporate an overheating protection facility. Unlike electric blankets of old, these electric under blankets are elasticated, so are simple to fit over your bed – and even when the electric blanket is off you'll still be sleeping on soft, fleecy luxury. Shop premium brands like Dreamland for heated under blankets that slip over your mattress and under your sheets for your cosiest and warmest sleep yet. Why use an Electric Blanket?

As well as Dreamland electric blankets and throws that you can use in bed or while you’re curled up on the sofa, you’ll spot heated mattress protectors made from 100% pure cotton. These can be placed directly beneath your bedsheets and they feature multiple heat settings to help keep you at an optimal temperature all night long. 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. Aside from their cosiness, one of the main benefits of heated throws is their energy efficiency. Unlike central heating, which can be expensive and wasteful, heated throws only heat up the area they cover, so you can save money on your energy bills while you still feel warm and comfortable. There are other budget-friendly solutions to consider too, like a hot water bottle, but the advantage of an electric blanket is that you can heat up a larger area and control how long it stays hot for.

If you buy your blanket from a reputable UK retailer, as we did for our tests, then it should be safe.

However, our tester had no issues at all when washing the blanket. Mix style with function with our diverse range of heated blankets from Dreamland. In addition to options in plainer fabrics and calm neutral colours that’ll suit any décor, you could also add a touch of sumptuousness to your bedroom with a plush velvety blanket. With a plush, soft-to-the-touch texture, and its availability in a range of rich colours, the Dreamland is a winner when it comes to style. Our tester found that the herringbone design felt modern too and that the emerald green colour looked expensive: "I think it looks very stylish and it doesn’t look out of place in my rented flat." She also loved how stylish the blanket looked initially too, noting how easily it fitted in with her other decor. On chilly winter nights, what better way to keep cosy and warm than with an electric blanket or heated throw? Costing far less than you might think to make sure your bed is the perfect cosy temperature for a better night’s sleep, a heated blanket is just one option if you’re on the hunt for something that can help you get a great sleep.

Our tester gave the Dreamland Deluxe Throw an impressive five-star rating. After five months of use, they're still using the blanket and love its softness, energy efficiency, and ease of use. The throw has an auto shut-off feature which can be set for 1, 3 or 9 hours, as well as an automatic safety function that constantly monitors its temperature when operating, so you can use it with complete peace of mind. Safe to use in the washing machine and tumble dryer (with the cord removed) so it stays super-soft and fresh, this cosy blanket can also be stowed in its handy storage bag to stop it getting dusty. On unboxing the blanket, our tester was impressed, particularly with the size and the softness of the material. She found it was straightforward to get started too: "This was my first heated blanket, so I wasn’t 100% sure how to set it up. However, it was really easy and intuitive."We’ve also got Dreamland blankets that are suitable for double, queen and super king size beds. So, no matter how big your bed is or who you’re sharing it with, you’ll be able to enjoy a warm and comfy night’s sleep throughout the chillier months.

What's more, when you don't fancy being swaddled in warmth, it looks great on the sofa or bed too as a decorative throw so you can use it all year round.
