Shop heated blankets in an array of sizes and styles

Before picking out your underblanket, check the dimensions against your mattress. Options can include single, double, king, and super king sizes, depending on the product. For the sofa, think about how much space you want it to cover, and whether you’ll be sharing it with anyone else.
 

In terms of fabrics, fleece gives a soft, everyday feel, while sherpa and faux fur styles look great while also being thick. With different colours and textures available, you can find a heated blanket that looks right at home with your bedding and home decor.

Are electric blankets expensive to run?

Electric blankets use electricity to warm a smaller area rather than an entire room, but running costs depend on the product's wattage, your electricity tariff and how long you use it. Check the specifications to estimate the cost for your typical usage. Timer functions and lower heat settings may help manage consumption, depending on the model.

Electric blanket FAQs

Can you leave an electric blanket on overnight?

Only do so if the manufacturer confirms the model is designed for overnight use. Some blankets should only be used to warm the bed before you get in.

Can you wash an electric blanket?

Some models are machine washable once the controller has been detached, while others need different care. Check the instructions and ensure the blanket is completely dry before reconnecting it.

What's the difference between an electric blanket and a heated throw?

An electric underblanket sits on your mattress to warm your bed, while a heated throw is generally designed for use on the sofa or in a chair.
