Russell Hobbs Electric Blanket, Heated Single Fitted Underblanket, 3 Heat Settings, Low Energy & Energy Efficient, Machine Washable, 70 X 150 cm, 60W, White, RHESB6001, 2 Year Guarantee

Product Information

The remote controls feel high quality, and function-wise, there are a ton of functions: dual control, separate zones for the body and feet, nine heat settings and four timer settings. Even better, this heated blanket is super energy efficient to run. You can heat your bed for as little as 3p* per hour for a comfortable sleep when the nights turn cold. It fits well over the bed, covering all except the pillow area, although the outer rim is noticeable under thin sheets.

There’s dual control for each side of the bed on sizes double and up, and you can set different temperatures for your body and feet areas, with the heat settings from 1-9. We didn’t notice an auto shut-off function but you can set it on a timer, between 1-9 hours. The 5cm-fabric is fleecy, soft and warm (but not too soft or too warm), and the cables and connectors are well positioned and unobtrusive.

Today’s electric blankets pose a very minimal safety risk, with many including features like timers, auto-shut-off and intelligent sensors that stop them from overheating.It’s also potentially the most cost-effective of the lot, with Silentnight claiming this costs just 1p in electricity to heat up your bed. It also has a skirt fastening instead of strap, enabling it to be fitted snugly all the way around, with perfectly placed holes for the cables to slot through.

Scottish Highlands & Islands postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, LL58-LL78, IM, TR, PO30-41 The power cord is two metres long, so you can control it easily from either side of the bed. Plus, the remote control is removeable, so you can switch it on and off without even having to move! This is a great addition, as it means you can switch it off last thing at night or first thing in the morning to warm you up on frosty days, without even having to get out of your cocoon. Cons: Doesn’t cover the whole mattress, no dual control, no timer or auto shut-off, can feel cable connector while sleepingIt fits easily over the bed with elastic straps on the four corners. One minor niggle, however, was that we found that the ‘lip’ around the edge of the blanket stopped our sheet from fitting quite so smoothly. A good fabric for the price, and made from a sort of dense, felt-like fleece, making it a little warmer than cotton or regular polyester blankets, and it fastens to the mattress with two large elastic straps at the top and bottom. If it’s high temperatures you’re after, it doesn’t get much toastier than this teddy fleece one from Dreamland – even level 3 out of 6 was warmer than most others we tested. Some might find it a little too sweaty, but it can also be reversed, and the polyester side used in warmer months.

A fairly standard design, with corner straps, three heat settings and made from a quilted polyester material (great if you find that the fleecy fabrics make you feel too clammy). But with so much choice out there, the electric blanket market can seem overwhelming. Which is the best brand? The best value for money? The highest quality? It’s not bad, but if you’re after a budget option, we found better at similar (or better) prices, such as Dunelm’s Cosy & Warm blanket.As usual, here at MoneyMagpie we want to give you the answers to these questions. With money tighter than ever, it is important your financial investment in a heated blanket or throw is the best decision for you.
