There’s no timer, however, so you’ll need to remember to switch it off, or it has a nine-hour auto shut-off.

It feels premium, made from crisp 200-thread count cotton that’s going to help you regulate your temperature.

There are three LED lights which indicate which heat setting you have it on, which range from 28C to 42C.Make sure to also use your electric blanket as the top layer, above any other blankets or duvets and do not lie or sit on it,' Hayley Thistleton at SleepSeeker explains. It's soft to sleep on, has a good warmth distribution, heats up in 10 minutes, and the controls are simple to use.

It is quite bulky though; the well-spread-out wires make sure there are no cold patches, but you can definitely feel all the cables and it’s quite heavy to lug. Whilst electric blankets are designed to create a warm and cosy environment when getting into bed, they are not recommended for overnight use and should be turned off when getting into bed or set on a timer to turn off within a short while. 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. 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. It’s made from microfleece, which makes it soft to lay on all night and cushions against the feeling of the wires.Rather than the clip attachment that most affordable blankets have, the Anti-Bacterial Heated Underblanket has two lugs that are pressed to release the control in one movement.

There are nine heat settings and time timer settings, meaning you can find the perfect combo for you.

With 10 heat settings and 10 timing options, plus easy-to-use controls, the Slumberdown elegantly warm luxury heated throw was a no-brainer to win best overall for this roundup. To calculate how much it will cost to run an electric blanket, you need to understand the cost per unit of electricity.
