Buyer Guide Heated Blanket

Your heated blanket can be a lifesaver in cold weather. But which blanket should you buy? And how much should you pay for it?

• Price. Most heated blankets are priced between $50 and $300. While you can find better deals online, you can also find them at better prices at a local store (like Wal-Mart).
• Size. Most blankets are available in sizes from twin to queen.
• Weight. Heated blankets usually weigh between 3 and 10 pounds.
• Temperature Range. Most heated blankets have a temperature range between 80 and 110 degrees.
• Extension Cord. An extension cord is a must, especially for blankets that are larger than 2 feet by 2 feet.
• Plug Type and Voltage. Most heated blankets are plugged in via a standard 120V outlet. However, you may need a power adapter if you’re outside the United States.
• Check Customer Reviews. Look at the type of reviews each blanket has. Look for any bad reviews. If a blanket has a lot of negative reviews, it’s probably not a good buy.

How to choose Heated Blanket

 When choosing a heated blanket, there are a few factors that you should consider:

• The size of your blanket. Depending on the temperature settings, heated blankets can range in weight from 5 to 25 pounds.
• The temperature settings.
• The length of the cord. Heated blankets offer numerous temperature settings, but you may want to check the weight capacity of your blanket before purchasing.
• The type of heating. Heated blankets come in two primary types: electric blankets and heated mattress pads. Electric blankets are usually made with an on/off switch, allow you to select the temperature level, and have a controller for timers. Heated mattress pads allow you to control the temperature, but do not have timers.
• Is the blanket machine washable? If you’re using a heated blanket regularly, you may want to buy a washable option.
• Is the blanket washable? Heated blankets shouldn’t be washed with regular blankets, according to Consumer Reports, because they can melt down your blanket.
• Is the blanket safe? Heated blankets are safest when plugged into a grounded outlet.
• Is the blanket certified?

What type of heating is used? Heated blankets use one of three heating methods:

• Electric blankets use electric heating elements to warm your bed.
• Heated mattress pads use electric heating elements to warm the bottom of your fitted sheet.
• Heated throw blankets use electric heating elements to warm the entire blanket.

How to Maintain Heated Blanket

 When shopping for a heated blanket, there are a few important features to keep in mind:

• Are heated blankets machine washable? Most heated blankets are machine washable, but be sure to check the care labels before throwing them in the washer.
• What type of heating mechanism do heated blankets use? Heated blankets typically use one of two heating technologies: electric heating or heat-pump technology. Electric blankets use electricity to warm blankets, whereas heat-pump blankets use liquid propane or electricity to warm a blanket through the transference of heat from the air surrounding the blanket.
• What size heated blanket do I need? Heated blankets come in many different shapes and sizes. It’s important to consider how much space you have available, whether you will be using your heated blanket on a bed or couch, and how long you will be relying on your blanket for warmth.
• Is my heated blanket safe? There are dozens of heated blankets on the market, and not all of them are safe. When you shop for a heated blanket, look for products with UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification. These certifications ensure that heated blankets have passed various safety standards and that they are safe to use around children.
