Product Information

This Wonderfully Warm electric blanket has reinforced elasticated straps to ensure it fits securely on your king size mattress to a depth of 35cm. I found this in many ways the best blanket, mainly because the fluffy sheepskin-style fleece isn’t thick at all – and bedsheets are easier to attach and keep flat on a thinner electric blanket. Otherwise, positives include it being machine-washable (all tested are) and a very quick warm-up time of around seven minutes. Safety-wise there is very little to worry about, but look out for British Electrotechnical Approvals Board (BEAB) approval. Heat-wise, there wasn’t much wrong with this blanket, other than the fact it only offers three settings where others have several more.

High-resistance wires – these days often made of carbon fibre – heat up as an electrical current passes through them.

Our luxury, quilted fleeced electric blanket will keep you blissfully warm and cosy all through the night. The first setting was fine for eliminating chill, the third was quite toasty, and the second somewhere in between. You could of course use it to heat up your bed, but it would move around as you toss and turn, since it doesn’t have attachment straps.

There were only three settings, which is far less than most competitors, which means there’s less control over heat. At Sleepseeker, we believe in the power of many, and we hope many of you reading this find ways to support the Ukrainian people as our thoughts remain with those affected by this crisis. It connects to a mains plug but has dual control so you and anyone you share a bed with can control your own heat settings. Plus it’s really easy to look after: once you’ve removed the mains leads, you can simply pop the whole blanket in the washing machine, and keep it in the re-useable storage bag when it’s not in use.In terms of usability it was all fairly straightforward, and the elasticated skirt meant no faffing about with straps. With 9 temperature options, 4 timer settings and body and foot warmth controls, it’s the perfect way to find exactly the right temperature for you and your partner. Here’s what I found after several nights testing the best electric blankets, starting with my favourite. Your blanket will come with a plug (or two if it’s dual-control), which usually extends to around a metre or so. The heat didn’t feel quite as potent as the Mylek, though depending on your preferences, that’s not necessarily a problem.
