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 important factors to keep in mind:

How much heat do you desire? The number of watts your blanket uses matters. A blanket with a greater wattage will be warmer but may cost more. Its also a good idea to choose a heated blanket that has a temperature control feature, so you can adjust the temperature to your desired level.
How much space do you require? When shopping for a heating blanket, it’s important to consider how much space you need. Most heated blankets come with no smaller than a queen-size option, so you’ll want to measure your bed before making a purchase.
What type of backing do you need? Heated blankets often come in fleece and flannel options. However, you may be interested in thinner, lighter blankets for year-round use.
How much control do you need? Some heated blankets come with overheating protection, which automatically shuts off the blanket if it overheats. This feature is especially useful if you have children or pets.
