If it’s ok to be put in a machine, avoid using a full cycle like you would with the rest of your laundry. WhenSilentnight electric blankets arrived, we immediately machine washed them because we were very interested in how to wash electric blankets. We loved this under blanket not just for the warmth factor, but also because you couldn’t feel the wires at all under the Sherpa fabric.

It’s made from microfleece, which makes it soft to lay on all night and cushions against the feeling of the wires. You do have to sit close to a plug socket though, as it requires being plugged in while in use, but there are three heat settings on it, and we found it warmed up in around five minutes. You probably assume that the electric blanket is not machine washable and then you wonder how you are going to maintain it, because every sleep product gets dirty quickly. It also means you don’t need to put up with feeling cold, and they can help you save on your electric bills.Save on energy usage with the Silentnight Electric Blanket Double - it can heat your bed from as little as 1p*. Any blankets where the wires were too bulky or the fabric too itchy were discounted from this round-up. Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product.

These plug into the mains more often than not (although there are some battery-operated ones) and warm you up as you lie under them. We found that if we wanted it on overnight, we were quite glad it switched itself off so we didn’t wake up a hot, sweaty mess. The Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket is an energy efficient and affordable way to stay warm for less. We like that it comes in a range of colours – we tested light pistachio, but there’s mole and dark charcoal, too.Our partnership with two finance providers allows us to help you spread the cost for up to 12 months. While there are safety concerns for old and damaged electric blankets, the risk of fire or burns when using a new one is almost non-existent.

In fact, it’s the perfect answer for those of us who are style conscious and want a throw that looks great draped over the sofa. This is great if you want it in the car, or the seat you want to use it on is just a bit too far from a plug socket. Everything went great, it's just very important that you follow the emperor's instructions so that something is not damaged. We really like Silentnight Comfort Control electric blanket, so there is at least a few things that makes this product better than some other similar ones. Ease of use and durability were also important, as was easy care – could we machine wash them if spillages occurred?There are also six heat settings, and if you stick it on the highest setting it will preheat super quickly. We found that this throw kept us very warm indeed thanks to a combination of the heating elements and the faux fur. The traditional electric blanket – those which lie on your bed, warming it up – might evoke images of your Nanna in her nightgown, but actually, they’re a very savvy choice that have been brought bang up to date and cost as little as 1p to run. We found it pretty lightweight, and having it around our shoulders meant our hands were free to type away.
