I've been on the hunt to find the best heated throw for every type of home. My first stop was the Mumsnet forums – the largest network of parents in the UK – where I gathered tried-and-tested recommendations from our trusted users to find the throws they love.

I strongly suggest getting the brookstone blanket as it by far outshines the sunbeam heated blanket imo!

It’s one of the few heated throws that’s tumble‑dryer safe, and the two‑year guarantee adds extra peace of mind.

They're great though - soft, velvety, can go in the washing machine, and keep you warm. Not hot to the touch, but really warm when you're under them.
