Smart, Cost-Effective Heating for Every Home

FAQs

  • Are electric blankets expensive to run in the UK?

    No. Electric blankets are extremely energy-efficient, typically using between 40W and 150W depending on the model and heat setting. Running an electric blanket costs only a few pence per hour, making it far cheaper than running central heating or an electric fan heater.

  • Can you wash an electric blanket?

    Yes. Modern electric blankets feature detachable power cords and controllers. Once the electrical cables are unplugged, the fabric blanket can be machine washed on a gentle or wool cycle at 30°C. Always verify the care instructions on the product label and ensure the unit is 100% dry before plugging it back in.

  • Is it safe to keep an electric blanket on all night?

    Models with dedicated low-heat overnight settings and automatic safety timers are safe for night-long use. However, for general sleep safety, it is best practice to use the blanket to pre-heat the bed on a higher setting and then switch it off or drop it to the lowest setting before sleeping.

  • What is the difference between an electric underblanket and a heated throw?

    An underblanket fits snugly beneath your fitted sheet directly over the mattress to warm your bed before you sleep. A heated throw is a decorative, thick blanket meant to be draped over yourself while relaxing on a couch, sitting at a desk, or resting on top of bed covers.

  • Can I use an electric blanket with a memory foam mattress?

    Most electric blankets can be used with memory foam mattresses, provided you use low heat settings or focus on pre-heating the bed before getting in. Because prolonged high heat can affect the density of memory foam, checking your mattress manufacturer's care recommendations is always advised.
