Product Information

Therefore, they offer a useful alternative to turning on your central heating overnight, so you can avoid feeling cold while saving on your electricity bills. A hand warmer does exactly what it’s supposed to, helping individuals of any age or ability feel much more comfortable. Fleecy on one side, soft and smooth on the other, this Lakeland heated throw feels as cosy as can be. It used to take me forever to fall asleep because I was so cold and often would even wake up about an hour later from still being cold.

It was delivered to my back door within two hours, due to the pandemic restriction Wades were unable to enter the house therefore my husband fitted the machine. An electric blanket has a plug in that when turned on, the electricity is transformed into heat through the cables that are running through the blanket. The first setting was fine for eliminating chill, the third was quite toasty, and the second somewhere in between. Testing was carried out by a couple who are famously hard to please, and prefer different temperatures when it comes to drifting off to sleep. For blankets that had dual controls, we assessed how accurate the temperature was on each side and whether using different settings on one side impacted the other.This velvety, soft-as-a-baby-bunny throw comes in a gorgeous inky navy that looks super high-end – we love the herringbone stitching. They also offer health benefits for the elderly as they promote circulation and freedom of movement when there is a chill in the air. All the electric blankets on our list come with varying heat zones and settings – some include extra foot warmth too. To make matters worse, my bed is right next to a poorly insulated window which makes my sheets super cold in the winter. My feet run far colder than the rest of my body – so much so that I wear socks to bed for the majority of the year – so I’ve been turning the temperature for my lower body right up to nine, then setting the upper temperature to three or four to take off the chill.

By providing additional warmth, these products can help to raise body temperature and prevent cold-related injuries or discomfort. Over the years I have made many purchases from Wades, including washing machine, TV, fridge, Dyson vacuum cleaner and various hardware items. Your blanket will come with a plug (or two if it’s dual-control), which usually extends to around a metre or so. With double the controls comes double the energy usage, but this electric blanket still only costs 4p to run per night. The hottest setting was scalding; the lowest enough to just remove the sharp frosty feeling on entering a bed on a cold winter night.Made from the highest quality microfibre fleece, this foot warmer fits snugly around your feet, keeping them warm and improving circulation to soothe your aches and pains. The Good Housekeeping Institute has put a range of electric blankets to the test to find their top picks – here they are in a handy list, but read on for our detailed reviews.
