Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket King Bed - Heated Underblanket with 4 Heat Settings - Fast Heat Up - Overheat Protection and Easy Fit Straps - Machine Washable - King Size - 137x165 cm

I honestly don’t know how I managed without this electric blanket before. It’s made such a difference, especially during those chilly winter evenings. Albeit my review is a bit late since the weather is warm right now but I am here to share my experience during the colder periods since I have been using this product for almost a year.It fits nicely onto our double bed using the corner straps—super easy to set up and stays in place without bunching up. The three heat settings are perfect: low for just taking the chill off, medium for most nights, and high for those really cold ones. Heats up pretty fast too, so the bed’s warm by the time I get in.I was a bit unsure about safety at first, but the overheat protection gives peace of mind, and I’ve had no issues. It’s also machine washable, which is a big plus for me—I’ve already washed it once and it came out fine.It doesn’t feel bulky under the sheet either, just soft and comfortable. If you're someone who struggles to warm up or just wants that cosy, toasty bed feeling, this blanket is honestly worth it. Great value and quality from a trusted brand like Silentnight.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this in late 2020, so it’s now heading into its fifth winter. I chose it based on the well-known brand name, good reviews, and reasonable price.First impressions were that it’s well made with an overall cotton type feeling of reasonable quality, in a simple, neutral colour. I did notice that it doesn’t fully cover the size of the single mattress. I measured it at about 135 cm/4’5” in length, and about 72 cm/2’4” wide. The heating element wires stop about 5 inches from the edge of the material each side, so it effectively has an unheated border. To be fair, the specifications do mention that the blanket isn’t meant to reach the edges to enable it to lie flat, so I’ll accept it’s intended to be this way.The power cable has an overall length of about 8 feet with the controller nearer to the edge of the blanket. It doesn’t have a timer or any bells and whistles, just nice and simple heat options:0 = Off1 = Warm - 12 W2 = Warmer - 23 W3 = Warmest - 40 WNote: These wattage figures are for the single size blanket.An orange light on the controller glows very softly when switched on.It’s quite slow to fully warm up; I always switch it on at least half an hour before bedtime, on No.3 heat, which is warm enough for a cosy bed.The heating wires do protrude somewhat through the fabric, so some people may find that uncomfortable. This could also be the case across other brands as well, and I personally found I got used to it pretty quickly, without affecting my sleep quality.The elastic straps are helpful, keeping it in place quite securely under the mattress.-Pros:• Well known, trusted brand• Reasonable price• User-friendly controls• Well made, good quality, light weight• No unpleasant smell• Reliability: Still working fine after four years• Low running cost-Cons:• Heating wires can be felt while lying on it• Does not entirely cover the mattress• Slow to heat up• Limited maximum heat levelOverall, this is a good, reliable product, and I have not had any problems with it over the past four years of use. I would happily recommend it, so a full five stars from me.Thanks for reading, I hope this review was helpful x

Arrived quickly, well packed with simple instruction leaflet.Ordered Double bed size fits main area of bed ok, elastic straps go underneath mattress easily & was easy to fit.Rather basic looking, but quite well made for the price & does the job. It was comfortable to sleep on with just bedsheet on top of it as instructed.Heating control has 3 settings (1-3) but no automatic timer control so has to be turned off manually.I used on heating number 3 & it heated up bed quite gently to a comfortable heat to get into on a cold winters night. I turned off before sleeping but could be kept on if required on lower heat 1.Haven’t tried the lower heat 1&2 yet.Would recommend if you want an inexpensive basic electric blanket. Guaranteed for 3 years so overall a good buy I believe.
