The Mia&Coco heated throw is a stylish choice, which looks just as good draped over a sofa as it does on a bed. Available in four muted colour options, it blends in nicely with just about any living room, home office or bedroom.
The sherpa fleece isn't as soft and silky feeling as more expensive throws, but it is cosy.
In terms of size, there's three options to choose between (160 x 120cm; 180 x 130cm; 200 x 180cm), and which one is the right pick for you really comes down to personal preference. I tested the smallest (and cheapest) option, which fits a single bed perfectly (see above photo). At such a great price, it's among the cheapest ways to keep warm while working from home this winter.
How easy is it to wash the Mia&Coco Heated Throw Blanket?
Luckily, any spills or stains can easily be sorted out in the washing machine. The power cord can be easily unplugged from the blanket, and it can be washed in the washing machine up to 40°C.
That being said, it does take a long time to dry (and can't be tumble dried), so you may have to wait a day or two until it's back in action. A dehumidifier will help speed up the process without damaging the blanket.
Price: does the Mia&Coco Heated Throw offer good value for money?
We think the Mia&Coco offers exceptional value for money. With prices starting from £45 depending on the size, it comes much cheaper than other options on the market. Plus, it's the budget heated throw that gets recommended time and again on the Mumsnet forums.
It's not just the initial cost where this blanket offers good value; it can even save you on heating bills in the long run. Costing 4p per hour to run on its highest setting, it's much cheaper than running your central heating - especially if there's only one person at home. If you're looking for a way to reduce your central heating use, this heated blanket is a smart way to do it.
