How to choose
Match the size to the bed
A Queen-size blanket measures 84 by 90 inches, while the Full-size picks measure 72 by 84 inches and 80 by 84 inches. The two throws measure 50 by 60 inches, which suits a single sleeper on a sofa or in a chair. Compare the blanket size with your bed or sofa before choosing, since a throw will not cover a Queen bed.
Heat settings and timers
Heat settings set the warmth level: the Westinghouse, YUSTAL and Sealy have 10 settings, the Eastsora has 12 and the HOMLYNS has 5. A timer switches the blanket off after a set time: four picks have a 1-12 hour timer, and the HOMLYNS has a 3-hour auto shut-off. More settings give finer control, while a longer timer suits overnight use.
Washing and cords
Every pick here is machine washable, and on the Westinghouse, YUSTAL, Sealy and Eastsora blankets the controller comes off before washing. Check the cord length against where you sit or sleep: the Sealy has a 13 ft cord and the HOMLYNS has an 8.5 ft cord. Let the blanket cool down completely before washing, and do not plug it in until it is completely dry.
