Thanks to its double-sided soft-touch fleece construction, this blanket is irresistibly cosy and makes a great versatile model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fleece electric blanket throw features nine heat settings for a highly personalised level of warmth. Thanks to its built-in timer complete with an <strong>auto-off function<\/strong>, you won\u2019t have to worry about falling asleep with it switched on. Plus, its overheat protection system ensures that it remains at the correct temperature for your safety and peace of mind. It is also machine washable, so you can easily keep it clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the downside, the power lead is a little short, so unless you have a spare socket next to your sofa or bed, you may need to use an extension lead. While it can fit two people, it really is ideal for one person for all-enveloping comfort, so you could find it a little on the small side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, its heat distribution is not completely even throughout the blanket. However, in spite of these small niggles, if you are looking for an extra cosy heated over blanket, this is the one to go for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Nine heat settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in timer with auto-off<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Machine washable blanket<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Double-sided soft-touch microfleece<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overheat protection system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Short power lead<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uneven heat distribution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A little on the small side<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Homefront-Electric-Blanket-Control-Premium\/dp\/B015DCGP6C?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ6FKKYSQUCVTNXUA&amp;tag=housejunkie00-21&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B015DCGP6C\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ek-link\">Homefront Dual Control Fleece (Luxury Choice)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Homefront-Dual-Control-Fleece.jpg\" alt=\"Homefront Dual Control Fleece\" class=\"wp-image-7959\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill amzbutton\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Homefront-Electric-Blanket-Control-Premium\/dp\/B015DCGP6C?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ6FKKYSQUCVTNXUA&amp;tag=housejunkie00-21&amp;linkCode=xm2&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B015DCGP6C\" style=\"background-color:#ec8c47\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Check Price<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for a premium electric blanket with a timer, then make sure you take a look at the Fleece Electric Blanket by Homefront.

For your safety and peace of mind, there is an overheat protection system to prevent this blanket from getting too hot or becoming a fire hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the integrated corner ties ensure this electric under blanket stays in place, they are a little on the short side. In fact, the blanket as a whole could also be a little longer, although you can place it lower down on your bed for improved heating around your foot area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are treating yourself, or are looking for the best electric blanket in the UK to give as a gift for someone, this model by Cosi Home makes a great choice.

Unlike older models that often present fire hazards, modern electric blankets feature reliable safety mechanisms to ensure your safety and well being. So, if you are using an older model, you should definitely order yourself a new safety-compliant electric blanket right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/an-effective-way-to-keep-you-warm-during-the-cold-winter-months.jpg\" alt=\"an-effective-way-to-keep-you-warm-during-the-cold-winter-months\" class=\"wp-image-14157\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Newer electric blankets tend to feature <a href=\"https:\/\/eepower.com\/resistor-guide\/resistor-types\/rheostat\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rheostats<\/a> for improved safety. While older versions provide thermostats to adjust the temperature of your heated blanket automatically, rheostats also take into account the amount of heat that your body will generate when using it. This makes for a safer, more accurate electric blanket. Auto shut-off and advanced overheat protection systems are widely spread, highly effective mechanisms that make electric blankets safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using an electric blanket that is several years old, even if it works perfectly, we recommend replacing it. Over time, parts can wear and wires can become frayed. So, while the best electric blankets in the UK are extremely safe, you should also take care to replace yours every few years. This is to ensure that you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk\/guidance\/product-safety\/electric-blankets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stay safe<\/a> and are using a model that complies with the <strong>most recent safety specifications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Is Better &#8211; Electric Over or Under Blanket?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Which one should you go for &#8211; an electric under or over blanket?

As they warm from below and heat rises, they are a great option for warming your entire bed. Using a heated under blanket will warm both your sheet and duvet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you&#8217;ll be sleeping on your under blanket, you will need to choose one that is <strong>thick enough<\/strong> to effectively cover the internal wires, so that you won\u2019t feel them when lying in bed. Also, due to their location, if you fall asleep without switching it off, you may very easily wake up later feeling much too hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <strong>models with timers<\/strong> are the ideal choice if you don\u2019t intend on turning your electric under blanket off when you get into bed. Also, as they fit onto your <a href=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/mattresses\/\">mattress<\/a>, they are not designed to be used elsewhere around your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electric Over Blankets<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-22 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>If you like to spend a lot of time on your sofa or sitting at your desk, then a heated over blanket or throw could be a better choice for you. Aside from snuggling into this blanket while watching <a href=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/how-high-should-a-tv-be-mounted\/\">TV<\/a> or using it to cover your knees while you work, you can also place it on top of your bed for extra warmth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homesguide.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a-woman-wrapped-in-a-throw.jpg\" alt=\"a woman wrapped in a throw\" class=\"wp-image-7981\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric over blankets are, therefore, <strong>much more versatile<\/strong>. As they are used directly next to your body, they tend to be softer and cosier than under blanket versions. This, however, can make them a fair bit bulkier and more difficult to store over summer. Despite this, they can be a good choice for relaxing around your home without having to put your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2019\/12\/sleep-cold\/604111\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heating<\/a> on high in every room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, as they sit on top of your bed, they don\u2019t tend to provide the same all-enveloping heat that you get from an under blanket. This makes them a better choice if you tend to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sleep-disorders\/what-happens-body-during-sleep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sleep hot<\/a> and just want to take the chill off your bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As shown in our heated blanket reviews, the quality is very high right across the board with many excellent models to choose from. If you can\u2019t quite make up your mind, we recommend our Editor\u2019s Choice \u2013 the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Cosi-Luxury-Electric-Heated-Blanket\/dp\/B07SYJYYWD\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Cosi Home Heated Throw<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is machine-washable and even suitable for tumble drying. The controller is easy to use and offers&nbsp;<strong>nine heat levels<\/strong>&nbsp;so you can adjust it according to your needs. Furthermore, this electric blanket also includes a&nbsp;<strong>timer with auto shut-off<\/strong>&nbsp;and an overheat protection system to prevent it from getting too hot or becoming a fire hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, which is the best electric blanket in the UK for you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top 3 Best Electric Blankets Nothing quite beats slipping into a cosy warm bed on a cold winter\u2019s night.
