For auto-off, the Westinghouse and Sealy run from 2 to 10 hours, the blunique runs to 10 hours, and the CHIOKY runs to 4 hours. Pick the level count and timer that fit how you use the throw.
Overheat protection and washing
Overheat protection cuts power when the throw gets too hot. The Westinghouse, blunique and Sealy carry overheat protection, and the CHIOKY has overheat switch-off protection. All four throws are machine washable, so unplug the controller before washing and let the throw dry fully before you plug it back in.
Size and fabric
Every throw here measures 50 by 60 inches, so size will not separate them. The Westinghouse is a double-layered sherpa throw, the blunique is plaid flannel, the Sealy is double-side flannel, and the CHIOKY is flannel. Pick the fabric and color that fit your couch or bed, and unplug the controller before the first wash.
