The 10 Best Heated Throw Blankets That You’re Not Going to Want to Share

One side is silky while the other side is sherpa, so any way that you want to cuddle with the Sunbeam Heated Throw Blanket is a win.

The editor-favorite electric throw blanket is equipped with three different heat settings delivered through its ThermoFine warming technology, though it feels almost exactly like a normal blanket. As our tester Zarah Kavarana says in her review, “Though you can feel the wires inside the fabric, they’re fine enough to prevent poke-age or any inflexible feel. In fact, I was pleased to find that the blanket didn’t mold to my body any differently than a regular one.”

We're naming this as our best overall heated throw blanket because of its comfy feel, exceptional warmth, and machine-washable convenience for a reasonable price.

If you're a tech junkie and are already using your smartphone and smart speaker to power everything from your vacuum, grill thermometer, and home security system, why not have them control your heated blanket, too?

The Eddie Bauer Smart Heated Electric Throw Blanket can be turned on and off via a built-in switch, but it also connects to the RH Sleep app to adjust the temperature. The gadget-heads who've reviewed this product love it, but the tech-averse ... not so much.

Regardless, its chic pattern and soft, not-too-heavy feel make it a fantastic couch accouterment for anyone to enjoy.

The Stalwart Electric Fleece Blanket is a genius polyester fleece throw that plugs into your car's 12-volt outlet (aka the cigarette lighter) to keep you, your passengers, or even your pet warm and toasty while your vehicle takes its time heating up. As one reviewer notes, “The heater in our car went out in the winter, so this was great to have for the kids to share in the back seat.”

Just keep in mind that, unlike nearly all other products in this guide, it doesn't have an auto shut-off timer, and it’s not machine-washable.

The L.L.Bean Wicked Cozy Heated Throw certainly lives up to its name. One side of this polyester layer is plushier and smooth, while the other has slim ribbing channels for a little textural interest.

While some reviewers say that the power cord is on the shorter side, many like that the wires of this even-heating blanket are extra thin and less likely to be felt through the fabric. As one person says, “It has given me the chance to sit out on my porch well before I would’ve been able to otherwise with the weather. It is super soft, very easy to use, and very warm!”

Combining the best of all cozy worlds, the Beautyrest Zuri Oversized Heated Faux Fur Throw from Beautyrest looks and feels like a regular faux-fur blanket. However, this one is outfitted with three heat settings to kick the comfort factor into overdrive.

Many reviewers note that this heated blanket is on the thinner side — this is described as either a good or bad thing, depending on the user's preferences. For that reason, it's a better pick for those who want a light layer with a little extra heat from time to time.

Sunbeam’s electric throw blankets are top-of-the-line as far as their comfort and heating quality are concerned. The Sunbeam Quilted Fleece Heated Blanket looks like a big throw, but it comes in a bed-appropriate size. Just keep in mind that its fleece texture isn’t quite as silky as the faux-fur models.

Its easy-to-use remote is just one big knob that you can turn to adjust the heat to one of 10 settings. And those heat settings are certainly effective. As one reviewer says, “We got tired of heating the whole house to keep us warm. These blankets do the job. They heat up quickly and stay warm.”

The Beautyrest Ultra Soft Sherpa Fleece Electric Poncho envelops you in a velvety embrace, whether you're trying to thaw out in your living room or a freezing-cold home office. It's equipped with armholes and is just the right size to be worn as a shawl, whether you're on or off the clock.

It features three heat-level settings and a 2-hour auto-off feature. It’s also plenty warm without being switched on; as one reviewer says, “The material is amazingly soft to the touch, and that’s what I love most about it.” Just keep in mind that this poncho runs small and may not fully cover everyone wearing it.

If the idea of using a regular heated throw blanket sounds like you'd be sweating in seconds, this toasty little foot pocket might be just the thing you need.

Reviewers appreciate the pared-down design of the ProAller Electric Heated Foot Warmer, with one saying, “The inside of the pouch is exceedingly soft ... I had concerns that with something like this that it would get too hot, but with the heat only coming from the bottom it’s quite nice and very comfortable.”

You can use this soft microfiber mini-blanket to warm up your feet or hands or even as a soothing compress for sore muscles or cramps.

We wouldn't blame you for wanting to take your electric throw blanket into bed. Luckily, the Alwyn Home Shafer Heated Comforter Blanket is made for exactly that!

One reviewer calls it “A nice thick blanket, can hardly feel the wires at all. Even heat, no ‘hot spots’ I can tell so far. It works perfectly inside my linen duvet cover. Would buy it again.”

Again, it’s recommended that you turn off the electric throw blanket before sleeping. But if you do plan to use this blanket in bed, remember to always set it on the lowest heat and shortest timer settings.

Pairing an irresistible raised-stripe texture with all of the heat control your always-cold self desires, the Bedsure Electric Heated Bed Blanket may be the layer you live in from the first frost to spring's thaw.

Available in two sizes, it offers numerous heat and time settings, all from its easy-to-read controller. This panel also detaches, allowing you to machine-wash the blanket. However, since it may lose some of its silkiness when laundered, you might be better off spot-cleaning or hand-washing this blanket to ensure its longevity.
