A heated blanket is a must-have item for this coming winter. They are game changers for cold days when you're staying in and help you avoid having to turn up the radiator. The only con of having a heated blanket? Getting out of bed for work in the morning will beWe considered four heated blankets at various price points, considering customer reviews and personal experience, as well as the blankets' heating capabilities, safety and value.
Highly rated by nearly 12,000 reviewers on Amazon and myself, the Sunbeam Royal Luxe Microplush Heated Blanket is the best overall electric blanket. It comes with two controllers for each blanket side and an amazing 12-heat setting, making it perfect for couples with differing body temperatures. The blanket is highly comfortable and cuddly, is machine washable and also has auto shut-off just in case you forget.
The closest you'll get to a common polyester blanket, the Micro-Fleece Heated Blanket is superbly comfortable and heats up fairly quickly. You can barely feel the wires in the blanket, and the material wraps around you like a warm hug. The only inconvenience is its lack of auto-off function, which means you might wake up feeling overheated. For the comfort though, this might just be worth it.
