Heated throws

[Throwitthrow]

Can anyone recommend one please? Reviews are either great or terrible and I don't want something that will stop working after a few weeks. I've looked on Amazon, Lakeland and Dunelm but nothing is standing out as a quality gift.

I've just ordered one from online home shop they had branded silent night ones quite reasonably priced xx

I have a Dunelm one and love it. Very cosy, wrap myself up while wfh. Soft fluffy fabric, sort of olive green

I've got the navy blue Lakeland one and I absolutely love it!!!

As does my dog!

This one is great

Thank you.
I was going for a navy one so I like the blue.

@DrunkTinkerbell40s is it this one? www.lakeland.co.uk/63900/staysnug-velvety-navy-lakeland-heated-throw

I recommend Dreamland. I've got a plain navy blue and a chevron textured navy blue which was more expensive. I love to have one over my legs and one wrapped sround my shoulders!
They're lovely and cosy- i've had the plain one for 3 years now and use it daily. I've washed it in the machine - I was sceptical- but it was fine and has worked perfectly since.

I don't think so as it has white on the back. It's this one but in navy

Yes. I bought this for my mum last year. She's late 70s and really feels the cold and she loves it. It has lots of settings and can get quite warm. It also turns itself off so don't think it's stopped working. It can also go in the wash.

The reviews are throwing me if you'll pardon the pun! Some say it doesn't get warm enough and barely gives off any heat. Others say it's amazing. It's for a gift and I want to make sure it's going to be up to the job. I'm wanting a large one to wrap around two people on a sofa.

Dreamland faux fur one

I got two in Aldi three years ago, machine washable (which is great because my dogs always join me when I use them), they have 9 temperature and timing settings, turn themselves off after the set time is up, are soft and cosy, definitely hot enough on the higher settings, a decent size and were a good price. If they are in again I'll be getting some for my mil and ds.

🚨 Daft Question Alert 🚨

Can you sit on them, or are they strictly “throw over” throws?

Ive ended up with one as Wayfair sent me it by mistake and told me to keep it… but have no idea if there’s do’s and don’ts with them.

Any tips gratefully received.

I have this one and it’s great.

We have 2 dreamland heated throws and we love them, even the dog is obsessed! They're a few years old now and we've had no issues at all with either of them, they both still heat up perfectly.

I love my Cosihome ones.

Not daft at all. No- you shouldn't really sit in them. They technically are throws- to go over the top. I like to wrap mine around my shoulders - and obviously sit back on it. I'm prepared for it to possibly not last as long as it otherwise might ... but that's where I need the heat. It might squash/ bend the heating wires I suppose.

We have these, as do family members and love them https://www.ehservices.co.uk/dreamland-16821c-navy-100033976.html

I have a dreamland one that must be 9 years old and still works perfectly

mine is a dreamland i got from argos about 3 years ago and its brilliant

Another vote for Dreamland. Mine is about 9 or 10 years old too 👌
The kids fight over it now but I have to remind them it's mine and it was here before them 😆

Not a throw but a mattress warmer, but also Dreamland and it has been good and reliable. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08QVPM9Q1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
