The fan of cosy sleeping could heat up their side of the bed by using their controls and the six temperature settings, while the tester who preferred colder sleeping conditions could put their side on low or even off. If you share a bed with someone who doesn’t like to sleep at the same temperature as you, go for dual controls so you can make sure your side of the bed is perfect for you.A heated mattress topper and blanket, this fleecy number distributed heat evenly, taking only five minutes to heat up. The heat zones weren’t as well-defined as others tested but the soft blanket fitted our mattress well, although the edges did start to curl a little after washing. Not only does it look great – and highly inviting – draped over the corner of a sofa, the LED controls offer six temperature settings and three auto shut-off timers – one, three or nine hours. If the washing machine safe symbol is listed, you should ensure the blanket is unplugged and wash on a gentle cycle in cool to warm water using a mild detergent. Moulding nicely to the body, this electric blanket stayed evenly warm, but the overall temperature did fluctuate by a few degrees at times.

Things like electric blankets or heated throws are perfect for this as they cost just pennies to run and keep you nice and toasty. It’s made from microfleece polyester fabric enriched with silver, so there’s no need for cleaning quite as often. Its control detaches easily, it can be washed and tumble dried, plus the addition of antibacterial silver means that you don’t actually need to wash it as often. It’s also amazing if you have a sore upper back or shoulders as the heat can relieve aches and pains. You should wash your electric blanket approximately every few weeks to once a month, or whenever the blanket gets dirty.To make your bed the snuggly haven you deserve this winter, there’s one bit of bedding you should invest in: an electric blanket. New Anti-Bacterial Heated Underblanket by Dreamland comes in a warm and cosy microfleece fabric, enriched with silver for a long lasting anti-bacterial action.

We found this helpful if we were settling down for a movie night or using it during the day while we worked. Let the machine run for a few minutes before turning it off and leaving the electric blanket to soak in the soapy water for about 15 minutes, and then skip to the rinse and spin cycle,' Hayley explains. We found that this throw kept us very warm indeed thanks to a combination of the heating elements and the faux fur. The controls are easy to use, with six heat settings – including a fast-heat setting – and three options for the auto shut off duration.

Renowned for their comfortable beds, Dreamland have been keeping us warm and cosy for over 50 years, having developed a range of luxurious heated underblankets, throws and bedcovers with built-in Intelliheat technology. However, it’s the fast heat-up that may make it extra appealing – great for those who often forget to turn an electric blanket on in good time before turning in. Fortunately, there’s a good deal of flexibility and there are four temperatures to choose from rather than the average three. When we’re working from home we find we’re cold, don’t want to turn the heating on (hello crazy energy bills) and a blanket keeps slipping off our lap. We loved this under blanket not just for the warmth factor, but also because you couldn’t feel the wires at all under the Sherpa fabric.

Most are on a timer, but some sense when they’re getting close to overheating and cut out at that point. Ease of use and durability were also important, as was easy care – could we machine wash them if spillages occurred? Dreamland’s Anti-Bacterial Heated Underblanket is pleasantly easy to fit – not only does it only have three elasticated straps to contend with, but they also help the blanket to fit securely to the mattress. Each electric blanket will have a different power rating and the overall cost will depend on the rating on your blanket's label.This means running an electric blanket for one hour would cost just over 3p and around 27p a night (based on 8 hours of use), which is significantly cheaper than having your central heating on all night. Keep your bed cosy, fresh and clean with Dreamland's New Anti-Bacterial Heated Underblanket, comes in a warm and cosy microfleece fabric, enriched with silver for a long lasting anti-bacterial action. We also didn’t detect any cold patches and while the cables are well spread out over the blanket, it didn’t feel too bulky when we were sat under it. To calculate how much it will cost to run an electric blanket, you need to understand the cost per unit of electricity.
