Made from a soft but durable material the Silentnight Electric Blanket offers three different heat settings and takes just ten minutes to heat up. comAbout 56% % of these are sauna blanket, 1%% are red light therapy blanket, and 1%% are vacuum blackhead remover.

It proved reliable too, taking a respectable 15 minutes to heat up with minimal temperature fluctuations, although we found the right side wasn’t as effective as the left. On a freezing wintery night, or even a nippy one in the middle of British summer, there’s nothing like having a toasty, preheated bed waiting for you. Its digital screen makes selecting one of its six settings easy, but while warmth was fairly evenly distributed, it took the temperature a while to stabilise.There is quite a big difference in how snuggly each one is and underwires are more noticeable in some of them. Some even resemble a fleecy blanket, which not only feels extra soft against the skin, but will look good in your living room if you want to leave it out. When you use it again the next winter, it will be exactly as you left it – safe from dirt, dust, rips or stains. This blanket also costs around 1p to warm your bed (if you use it for two hours on the low setting).

The zipped cotton cover can be easily detached from the electric blanket for washing – simply disconnect the heat controller and ensure the cover is completely dry before using.

Nonetheless I wouldn’t be without it now and sooo much better than a hot water bottle the costs mir to fill with boiling water from the kettle as having the blanket on.
