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

How to maintain a Heated Blanket

• Use a duvet cover: If using a duvet cover, make sure the plug is on the same side as the blanket.
• Remove any loose threads or loose material on the blanket: These could entangle the heating elements.
• Wash the blanket: Remove any lint or hair from the blanket before washing.
• Use the correct temperature setting: The blanket may have an “auto” setting, but check to see if the blanket is warm or hot. If it is warm, select the “high” setting.
• Do not use bleach: Bleach could damage the blanket.
• Avoid drying the blanket on high heat: This could cause the heating elements to crack.
