Whilst electric blankets are predominantly used as bedding, heated throws are used in other parts of the home.

About the authorGetting into a cold bed when all you want to do is warm up and settle down for the night isn’t fun. And no matter how long you have the heating on before you go up to bed, you just can’t seem to get the bed cosy and warm. Sounds like all you need is a heated mattress protector. Simply pop one onto your bed and turn it on five minutes before bedtime and you can say goodbye to cold sheets and piles of blankets forever.

Size and coverage: Make sure the throw is large enough to cover you comfortably. If you want one you can snuggle up under with your other half or kids, make sure you go for a large size so there's space for everyone. This throw heats up within minutes on the ready to relax mode. If you want to time to switch off within an hour or a few hours that's really straight forwards to do.

If you're worrying about your children staying well this winter, then it's understandable that you might be considering allowing them to get under your heated throw. These blankets are perfectly safe for children to use under supervision, but they're not recommended for under fives. They're also not safe for children to sleep with, as they should always be supervised when using a heated throw. How we chose the best heated throw Temperature settings: Look for adjustable heat settings so you can get the most out of your blanket – some options have as many as 10 different settings! Bear in mind that it does often cost more to run a blanket on the higher settings, so it's a good idea to opt for one with good range.
