Electric Blankets Sale: Snuggle Up for Less This Winter

Our top-rated choice at 10/10, the Beautyrest Heated Plush Blanket blends cushy comfort with practical perks like machine washability and automatic shut-off. In our testing, queen and king sizes with dual-zone controllers kept partners happy, though the blanket is on the heavier side and the cord can feel short depending on outlet placement. It takes a few minutes to reach full warmth, but once it does, the steady, even heat makes it an excellent every-night option compared with mid-pack throws.

For $35, the Brookstone Heated Plush Throw is warm and comfy out of the box, but its 5/10 score reflects reliability trade-offs we noticed across user feedback. It heats quickly on higher settings and includes automatic shut-off, yet several units reportedly failed after a few washes and some throws run uneven. If you want a budget-friendly lounge blanket for occasional use, it can work; for better longevity at a similar price, our experience shows the Sunbeam Heated Throw (9/10) is safer.

At $29.99, the Sunbeam Heated Throw Blanket earned a strong 9/10 in our testing for fast warm-up and a cozy flannel feel. Three clearly marked heat levels and a detachable controller make it easy to dial in comfort, plus the auto shut-off and machine-washable design add everyday peace of mind. Our only gripes were the short cord, which can limit couch placement, and occasional durability reports—though the five-year warranty helps offset long-term worries.

Craving a cozy couch companion, the Serta Malea Shaggy Faux Fur Heated Throw delivers plush, quick warmth and a safety-minded 3‑hour auto shut-off. During our review, the shaggy faux fur felt wonderfully indulgent, and multiple heat options made it easy to fine-tune comfort. Its 7.5/10 score reflects trade-offs: some shedding and debris trapping, plus reports of reduced heating after months; the typical throw size can also feel small for sharing. The three-year warranty and machine-washable care help its long-term value.

The Bedsure Ribbed Flannel Heated Blanket earned a solid 8.5/10 from us for its soft ribbed face, cozy sherpa backing, and handy timer plus multi-level heat controls. We found it easy to toss in the wash and appreciated the automatic shut-off for worry-free use, though the power cord may be short for some bedside layouts. It tends to run a bit cooler on high, which warm sleepers may actually prefer; cold-natured users might want a hotter model like Serta’s 9.5/10 pick. A two-year warranty adds peace of mind.

A budget-friendly reversible pick, the Serta Fleece to Sherpa Heated Blanket balances cozy feel with safety thanks to its 3‑hour auto shut-off, but it scored 6/10 in our review for mixed long-term performance. We liked flipping between the fleece and insulating sherpa sides and having multiple heat settings, yet some users noted diminished heat after washing and a lower-quality fleece hand. It’s fine for guest rooms or occasional use; for more consistent heat, Bedsure’s 8.5/10 or Serta’s 9.5/10 blankets deliver better results.

The BeautyRest Duke Heated Faux Fur Throw brings luxe softness and quick, lasting warmth, but its 7/10 score reflects noticeable trade-offs in our testing. Users report occasional early failures, uneven heating or cold spots, and a shorter controller cord that limits placement, even though you get three heat levels, machine washability, and auto shut-off. It’s a lovely splurge for short stints on the sofa; if reliability is higher priority, the Beautyrest Heated Plush Blanket (10/10) is a steadier day-to-day choice.

At $84.99, the Beautyrest Heated Microlight to Berber Blanket earned an 8/10 in our testing thanks to its plush reversible microlight/Berber feel, fast warming, and machine-washable microfiber. Three heat settings (low/medium/high) made it easy to fine-tune comfort on the couch or bed; the automatic shut-off adds peace of mind, though it can turn off sooner than some prefer. While not our highest scorer, it's a cozy pick, and the 5-year warranty helps offset reports of heating element durability issues and a controller cable that can get in the way.

The Beautyrest Zuri Oversized Faux Fur Heated Throw feels luxuriously plush and heats quickly, but its 6.5/10 score reflects mixed reliability in our review. We loved the ultra-soft faux fur and simple three-level warmth with auto shut-off, yet early shedding and occasional controller errors that need a power-cycle hold it back. If you’re prioritizing texture over longevity, it’s great for movie nights; for nightly use, our experience shows the top-rated Beautyrest Heated Plush Blanket (10/10) is a more dependable upgrade.

With a near-top 9.5/10 score, the Serta Corded Plush Heated Blanket impressed us with very even heat and a generous 10 settings for precise control. The ultra-soft plush fabric and longer cords made setup easy in our testing, and the automatic shut-off plus machine-washable design simplify care. Both sides are a bit slick and can slide on smooth bedding, and some found the controller indicators hard to read—but overall it rivals our 10/10 pick for comfort at a slightly lower price.

The Sunbeam Electric Heated Bed Blanket offers appealing extras like 12 heat settings, automatic shut-off, and dual controllers on queen sizes, but its 6/10 score shows mixed real-world performance. During our review, the highest setting felt lukewarm and the internal wires were noticeable, and we also saw durability complaints paired with a shorter one-year warranty. It’s comfy brushed fleece and machine-washable care are positives, yet frequent, all-night users may prefer the Beautyrest Heated Plush Blanket (10/10) for stronger heat and longevity.
