Best Heated Blankets for 2024 – CNET [CNET]
If you’re looking for something to cozy up your mattress, you should consider getting a heated blanket. Also referred to as an electric blanket, heated blankets have electrical wires integrated into warm material for optimal heat. The best heated blanket will comfort you without making you feel too warm. Our picks of the best electric blankets will let you cozy up on your couch or bed without turning up the thermostat.
What to look for in a heated blanket
After you’ve scoured the internet for electric blankets, there are a few things you should consider before selecting the best one. Read each product description carefully, and pay special attention to the following features:
Material: Look for heated blankets made with warm materials such as polyester, sherpa, fleece, flannel or faux fur.
Heat settings: The best electric blankets will have multiple heat settings. Depending on your preference, the more heat settings, the better the blanket generally is.
Machine-washable: At some point, your blanket will get dirty. Make sure your heated blanket is machine-washable.
Safety: You want a blanket with an automatic shut-off feature for safety. If you tend to be forgetful, look for a blanket that shuts off within a few hours.
The following heated blankets have taken the above features into consideration. Each blanket is shown at a twin price, if applicable. Heated throw blankets only come in one size.
Here are the best electric blankets you can get.
