Morphy Richards Washable Heated Underblanket Electric Blanket 600111 Single White

Product Information

On testing we also found that the overblanket was far preferred by our night-sweat suffering reviewers. Every electric blanket we've tested uses polyester wadding to soften and protect the cables, which our hot sleepers found could make them overheat compared to their usual natural material-filled mattress toppers. In comparison to a strapped-on underblanket, the overblanket could be positioned between the duvet and bed sheet to warm up the bed and get things toasty, and then whipped off once the chill had gone from the bed, making for a better night's sleep.

Our shopping editor, Amy, put multiple bestselling electric blankets through their paces to compile this guide, testing sleep comfort, heating efficiency, ease of use of controls, and additional features such as dual-controls or zoned temperature capability to find the electric blankets that deliver best on performance and price. Dual controls will also let you adjust settings during the night without disturbing your partner. Blankets that have these – often size double and upwards – will have left and right zones, so the settings can be customised if there are two of you in the bed. Are electric blankets safe?You can tailor the warmth levels further thanks to dual controls on the double, king, and super king blanket sizes. These allow the temperature of the respective sides of the bed to be adjusted independently of each other –a real boon for couples with different heat preferences! If you cannot find the problem, replace the heating blanket. In many cases, it is cheaper to buy a new heating blanket instead of fixing the old one. Why Electric Blankets Stop Working?

The price you pay to run an electric blanket will depend on its wattage and your usage. A heated blanket can either be kept on all night on a low setting, used for a short amount of time before you get into bed or you fall asleep, or set to turn off at a specific time if it comes with an auto shut-off timer. This electric heated poncho from Lakeland is made from super cosy fleece which adds a welcome layer of insulation all by itself, but turn on the heat and you have 9 temperature settings to toggle between to find your perfect warmth setting. Plus, on the off chance that all that warmth might make you drowsy, it also comes with 9 timer settings, and overheating protection for peace of mind. Provides you with extra heat at the foot of the bed to keep your toes toasty on cold winter nights. BEAB Approved To calculate how much it will cost to run an electric blanket you need to understand the cost per unit of electricity. From July 2023, the cost per pence/kWh of electricity will be approximately 30p.
