Heated Throws

I put an electric throw on my C list and my DD had a large Medisana sent to me, for my birthday, through the post, via Amazon. I have had it a week and am using it at the moment. Considering many of you have similar, is it normal that it doesn’t heat all over.

Had a heated throw from Lakeland for Christmas. I love it. Mine does get warm all over mokynra other than a strip around the sides. Can you feel the heating elements? I can just feel them in mine. If you can and there are elements in the cold bits sadly it isn’t working properly. I’m a real convert, would recommend one to anyone who feels the cold.

I love my heated Throw.I am able to turn down Central Heating Thermostat and hardly ever use My Gas fire now that I have one. It makes me feel very cosy and comfortable.
Mine does heat all over and ,as Cornergran said,I can feel the elements in mine so check yours Mokynra to see if yours is the same.

We have one from Lakeland. We love it! I would strongly recommend them. Lakeland do have brilliant customer service.

I live in an big old Victorian house with no central heating I never thought of but for Christmas this year my friend bought me a heated throw and it’s lovely
I m nice and warm in my main room, by my gas fire but when I wake for the loo in the night and my hot water bottles have gone cool I put my throw on and it’s cosy, cosy
Mine heats all over and has a panel for controls
A lovely present

I’ve been sleeping on our recliner for a few nights (post op), and have been v toasty under a fleece throw with sleeves I bought from Amazon. I must admit I’d previously been quite scathing about sleeves in a throw but it’s ideal for my current situation. I’m cosy right up to my neck but have hands free for eating/drinking.

I can feel the elements and those near the controls are warm whereas those in the other half of the large throw are tepid. It is a present from by DD and I don’t often see her because of covid.

I have a heat pad - it is like a mini electric blanket about the size of a large cushion. I put it behind my back when I am siting on the sofa and it is great - especially when my back is bad.

My son bought me one for xmas it's a Dreamcatcher. Absolutely love it, heats all over perfect for snuggling under on the settee in this cold weather.

I’ve got the Aldi heated throw & love it. It cost about £40.

One of the money saving tips is to put an energy efficient electric blanket on your sofa covered by a blanket to keep you warm. I don't know much about the electric throws other than aldi sell them in the aisle of crap occasionally

When my OH was so ill I bought him a single heated duvet. It worked really well.

Has anyone washed a heated throw.

Has anyone tried washing a heated throw ?

My DS gave me one for Christmas and I love it. Just come in cold and damp and put it on so my legs are lovely and warm. It gives me the same feeling I used to get from a hot bath (I only have a shower now).
My DS has the same one and they have washed it. I haven't yet.

the aisle of crap 🤣🤣🤣 Love it.

My DD has one and I used it once when I was feeling under the weather. Very nice. But ordinary blankets are just as warm, once you've warmed up under them. I wouldn't pay £100ish for one.

Heated throws are just wonderful in this cold weather. We have one each and use the central heating a lot less.

If I am chilly I soon get warm under an ordinary throw, so I don’t see that it is worth buying a heated throw.

U've washed mine. It has a washing label attached. It can be tumble dried but I just hung mine on the drying thingy in the utility room and it was dry in no time.

I bought DD one. She loves it as she really feels the cold. Alas her cats love it too and tend to take it over!

Of anyone is with Octopus.energy.you can get one free
I was sent one a Lakeland one and it's lovely
Can be washed too
I also have teddy bear sheets and Duvets.so cosy.you can get a whole set for under £20 ,pillow cases included
Dunelm have them

I've got a Dreamcatcher, soft and so lovely and warm and it goes over 2 of us on the sofa.

This whole winter, I can honestly say we have not had the heating on after 6pm apart from on 3 occasions when family were visiting. In October we each purchased an electric thrown - ok, we used Amazon and we are delighted with them. They are lovely and soft and heat up quickly with 9 settings on ours.
They go off after 2 hours ( a safety feature) but just turn on again. Drawbacks are falling asleep under such a cosy blanket and not moving very often.

My d.i.l. got me an electric under-blanket, for my bed and a throw for when I sit in my armchair watching TV. Love both, but I don’t think I will keep the underblanket on, while I’m sleeping, although they keep it on all night. There probably are safety features, but I’m a bit nervous.

I am sitting happily with my heated throw over my legs and feet. My husband doesn't feel the cold so we keep the heating low and I use the throw. I love it.
