Are heated throws worth buying?

I love mine, wouldn’t be without it.

Another question. Can they be used with an extension cable as the socket is too far away without the use of a lead?

One of the best inventions ever, especially if one person in the household feels the cold and others don’t.

I have a Dreamland heated throw, large, soft and cosy.

I bought each of my AC one a couple of years ago for Christmas. When DD comes back freezing from the DC's football matches she says it's a godsend.

PS they also have onesies for blokes, ie in a dark colour or a tartan, would that help DH's who are seat bound too?

PS if you want a onesie, amazon have loads.

Lovely throw there!

I have one that I can actually lie on in bed when its icy out there, otherwise for warming the bed up.

During the day I wear the following: medium thick fleece trousers (or PJ's, they look day-wearable.

And an M n S heatgen top, and on top of that, and extra layer if it's really cold, and then

....one of those large fleece garments...(called hoodies or "onesies" - like the picture, but prettier and shorter for moving around

and thick socks -

and yes most presentable to open the door as they are in fashion atm, if you get the right one they are easy to move around in, and I can keep my thermostat on 16.5 or 17 degrees all day till it gets really cold in the evening for an hour or so.

A very beautiful throw aggie

I find my crochet throws are great , they certainly keep me warm
My son-in-law says he can’t understand how something made of holes can be so warm !

I love my heated throw. It's meant to be washable, but I am not comfortable with washing anything that runs on electricity, so I buy a new one as needed.

I have washed mine with no issues.

I havent got one, but have thought about it and thanks to all your posts I might investigate the prices etc round here. It would probably help me especially when I struggle getting up in the morning and sitting reading later on.

My DH and I both have them and think they are fantastic. Certainly can manage with a lot less central heating on so decrease bills as well.

The modern polyester throws generate heat anyway, so I don't see the need to use electricity to do so. I have an electric blanket on the bed and use an extra throw when it's really cold. I use one of those hooded blankets in the evenings. They are very warm without the need for electricity.

Five years ago I bought a velvet Dreamland heated throw and wouldn’t be without it. I use it most evenings and some afternoons when sitting on the sofa . My daughter liked it so much she bought one to keep her legs warm when working from home so the central heating can be kept on low and I bought my granddaughter one for Christmas. They cost very little to run.

A five year old heated throw from Lakeland keeps me cozy sitting reading, tv watching, telephone chatting or iPad browsing. I find it relaxes me in the evening if I’ve had a stressful day. Wouldn't be without it. Every year I pick out its replacement should it refuse to work, so far no replacement needed 🤞.

After a hotwater bottle burst on my back,vthere was a small hole and i didnt notice it because hot water bottle was in a cover.
I invested in a heated throw, no regrets and i feel safer.

I love mine so much that I now have 2,1 for each seating area of my living room.
Visitors to my home have been so impressed that they have bought them for their own homes.
A huge bonus point is that my cat loves lying on top of my throw when it is covering my legs so it's 2 for the price of 1

I bought mine from Lakeland a good 15 years back. 3 heat settings, warms up quickly and very toasty. Wasn't cheap then but has been worth the money. You can use it as an overblanket on your bed as well.

Best thing ever!

Sitting on one at the moment! I work from home and the office is quite chilly during the day. I drape the throw over my chair and either just enjoy the warmth under me or wrap it round my legs if I feel a bit colder.

Happiness is a warm bum.

We love our heated blankets, my DH especially, seeing as he is now disabled and can’t move without help he can easily get cold even when the heating is on so I put it across his lap and legs.

^Are heated throws worth buying?

Definitely.

But have to admit, we havent used ours since Nov. For various reasons.
But the previous year and the one before that, used it more.
I wouldnt like to be without ours.

My Silent Night Heated blanket has about 2 metres of cable OP.

I've had one for four years and wouldn't be without it. Once the temperature drops I use it on a daily basis to keep nice and cosy whilst watching TV or sitting to read. It's cheap to run and must save us a fortune as without it I'd have to turn the heating up, we live in a big old house with large rooms. Our dog loves it too!
