Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket King Size - Heated Electric Fitted Underblanket with 3 Heat Settings, Fast Heat Up and Easy Fit Straps - Machine Washable - King Size 137x165 cm

Product Information

As with many other blankets with removable controls, the placement of the attachment could use some more thought, but otherwise, it’s a comfy choice. In fact, it’s the perfect answer for those of us who are style conscious and want a throw that looks great draped over the sofa. It feels quite utilitarian – the fleece feels quite felt-like, and the wires do create small bumps under the mattress. Once fitted flat on your mattress, connect the heat selector plug to the electric blanket socket, ensuringeach plug is pushed firmly into the housing (fig 4). There are three heat settings and an LED display on the controls, which allow you to easily see how warm your blanket is/is going to get.

It’s a great fit if you’re keen not to blow the budget but want a good-quality blanket that’s a cinch to maintain.It’s made from microfleece, which makes it soft to lay on all night and cushions against the feeling of the wires. There are nine heat settings and time timer settings, meaning you can find the perfect combo for you. Measuring 135 cm x 72 cm the blanket sits neatly away from the edges to ensure it remains flat for safety. This blanket’s control is just 70W, meaning that running it at the maximum heat setting for an hour (based on a 34p per kWh) will cost slightly more than 2p.

There are single controls with three heat settings meaning if you share a bed, you both need to like it at the same temperature. A benefit of this is being able to turn off the heat in one movement in the dark (it’s suitable for all-night use on the lowest setting). I found it sat where my shoulders were and required extra padding for me not to feel bothered by it. We found that if we wanted it on overnight, we were quite glad it switched itself off so we didn’t wake up a hot, sweaty mess.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. We like that it comes in a range of colours – we tested light pistachio, but there’s mole and dark charcoal, too. 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?
