Buyer Guide Heated Blanket

 A heated blanket is an optional purchase, but for those of you who love winter, it’s a must-have. This buying guide will help you choose the right blanket for your lifestyle.

• A heated blanket is an electric blanket that uses electricity, infrared, or a combination of the two to warm you up.
• A heated blanket can be heated using either a 300-watt heating element or a 600-watt heating element.
• A heated blanket must be plugged in to function, and it’s recommended to purchase a model with an automatic shutoff.
• A heated blanket usually comes in three sizes: queen, full/queen, and king.
• Heated blankets usually come with remote controls and thermostat settings.

 

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
