Slumberland Easy Fit Heated Mattress Cover - Kingsize

Product Information

Number of temperature settings–budget models tend to offer 3 temperature settings, and in our experience it can be hard to settle on one that's just right. More heat settings mean more chance of finding your ideal temperature, plus, having the option to use your blanket on a lower heat setting is also a good way to save energy and heating costs. There are dual-controls so that two sleepers can toggle their preferred heat independently and an auto shut-off timer with 1, 3, and 9-hour settings so that you don't have to worry about switching off the blanket before you fall asleep. The only downside is that those higher temperature settings do mean more energy usage, with this blanket using 150W on each side, compared to an average of 70W. HEAT SETTINGS: With 9 heat settings to choose from, this double electric blanket will help you adjust the right level of warmth for your body so you can sleep comfortably and snuggle up in a bed that's warm and cosy, whatever the weather outside

The perfect blanket to snuggle up under on the couch after a long day, it can also be laid over the bed for some added warmth, although with its 150W energy usage it's not quite as economical a way to heat a bed as the under blankets in this edit. Dreamland's Scandi Sherpa Electric Underblanket scores highly with us because it's one of the few electric blankets that offers a super comfortable sleep surface, dual-controls so that each side of a double, king or super king bed can be warmed independently, a wide range of temperature settings, and an auto-shut off timer to maximise energy and cost efficiency. To find the right electric blanket for you it’s well worth understanding the different types of heated blankets available, and how each type works, before you shop.

Are electric blankets safe?

Firstly, it also acts as a mattress protector because it covers the whole bed, whilst the Silentnight model just covers the middle. It’s got an elasticated edge to stop it sliding around and getting creased.

All electric blankets warm your bed, but they differ in how long they take to heat up and how much control you have over the temperature. Some take under five minutes to warm up, while others take substantially longer. That’s not necessarily a problem if your blanket has a timer and your bedtimes are regular, but it’s worth thinking about.

How much do electric blankets cost to run?

That said, if warm feet are high on your agenda, then this electric blanket is still well worth considering. Pros:it is much cheaper than most other electric blankets and there are several variations and upgrades available. The blanket is also machine washable and has a three year guarantee. Whilst it might be one of the most expensive heated blankets in our round-up, if you're looking for a toasty and comfortable night's sleep this winter, then our tests found this to be the best electric blanket to invest in.
