Do all heated throws feel bony and wiry?

[HairyKitty]

I just bought one from Lakeland and I’m really disappointed how it feels. It literally feels like a big bunch of wires between 2 thin blankets.
Are they all like this??

Oh no! I was going to buy one but I don't think I will now.

Mine came from Argos, it's not fluffy but it's quite nice on my lap when working.

My Lakeland one doesn't. It's the one with stars on.

I bought a thick Dreamlands one www.dreamlanduk.co.uk/uk/heated-overblanket-tartan-check-velvety-sherpa.html . You can tell the wires are there but it feels thick and fluffy and once it's turned on and is warm I don't notice them anymore.

@HairyKitty , contact Lakeland. They will replace or refund.

I got the Beurer one. Chose it for the auto 3 hour auto so my kids don’t leave it on all night.
If they are all like it I will keep, if there’s a better option I will return. It was £60 which was my budget

I have a Dreamland one. The wires are there but as its quite thick you don't really notice.

When I first got it I wasn't massively impressed, but actually it's brilliant. Gentle, constant heat.

@Toddlerteaplease is this the fairisle one?

No it's gray with white stars on.

Oh this is so disappointing I was thinking of buying one I literally just started a thread about it

I've tried 2. Both times, I got electric shock every time when unplugging after use. I wouldn't risk it again.

I have the grey Dreamland one and I don't notice the wires.

To make it feel less bony, either the wires would need to be thinner, or you'd need one of the heavy ones with a fake fur texture. If the wires were thinner, it would be much more fragile and probably only last for a few sessions.

I've just got the Lakeland fairisle one and it seems quite manageable. Once it's freezing cold I'm not going to notice it being slightly unwieldy!

I have a grey Dreamland one. It’s a velvet-fleece texture, thick material. I don’t notice the wires.

I got one in Aldi last year, its great you can feel where the wires are but its very cosy and I don't notice when I'm using it. It has a timer function as well I think it was £35 from memory.

My Aldi one doesn't

Nope. Had one for past 5 years and not noticed wires.

Mine is like this but the warmth makes up for it. It’s not too bad if it’s over you rather than beneath you or if you put a normal blanket over the top and turn it up a little higher.

I’ve got the Lakeland poncho which is so thick and fluffy that I cannot even feel the wires! I chose it over a throw as I like to have my arms free to crochet.
