Bedsure Heated Blanket Queen Size, Dual Control Electric Blanket, Black

I paid $33.59 for this item on 10/23/23 and I’ve since increased my initial rating from 4 to 5 stars. Quick review ratings Quality: 4.5 out of 5 stars Effectiveness: 4.9 Value: 5.0 Satisfaction: 4.9 Short review highlights: I like how this blanket came tightly sealed in an airtight vacuum-packed clear plastic bag, assuring product integrity of first use from the factory. I like how this blanket is very soft and plush and feels really nice to the touch. I like how it’s constructed to be warm and is warm just as a regular blanket without any power at all. I like how the controls are simple/effective and how the 3hr default timer is set intuitive for most use I like how the highest heat setting seems sufficient even when really cold, and that it heats up fast helping to better thaw out my feet that can get cold as ice. I like how being a shorter throw model doesn’t take away from it’s effectiveness and that its smaller size even helps make it easier to manage. I like how upon ordering that the manufacturer emailed me guidelines for safe use/operation I like how other than the big plastic sticker they put on it that there’s very little that I don’t like. Long review details Although this blanket is very soft and plush, it’s thin enough that you can still easily mold it to follow your shape. But with it’s construction being on the thin side, you are reminded that it is indeed an electric blanket because you can feel the heating cables within it's build which start their inlaid pattern at about 10 inches inward from the outer most edge/border, but I haven’t found the feel of them to be at all off-putting either. I didn’t like that some spots seemed to heat up more than others but over all that’s also pretty minor and that most importantly it does warm up quickly. I also didn’t like that the handheld controller itself tends to heat up a bit when on the higher settings adding some worry to its safety but I’ve been using it for over a year now and haven’t had issues otherwise; and, I found you don’t have to keep it on high for very long, just to warm up quickly before setting it lower. For more precaution I initially got in the habit of hanging my controller from a hook hung off my bed side dresser drawer which helps give it adequate space to "hang out and be cool" and that does seem to help it dissipate heat better; but I also often use it while on the couch with the controller right on top of me or with it sometimes ending up off to the side or even under me, but still haven’t had any issues. This is the throw size model and I like that its smaller in terms of size management because while I'm also using other regular blankets with this (only when its really cold, and when I might lay one blanket on top of this one to better hold the heat in) on my lower half to add more heat where it’s needed most for my legs and especially my feet that can often get cold as ice, and this really helps with that. I do often use it on the couch but either way I always use it with a flannel sheet which not only works well for adding extra warmth but better helps to distribute the heat and has also been very effective in keeping it cleaner longer and so effective that I haven't had to wash it yet. This is surely not a perfect product, nor at this price point is it made of the highest standard or quality in comparison to models more expensive, but despite that its issues have been minor, and it’s been working really well for me over what's been now its second cold season or second year and it’s still keeping me warm at night. Will update if any of this changes, but again, it's going into its second year of daily use (when it’s cold), and I can recommend it with a full five stars.

I had a bad flu and the chills were awful! I ordered this blanket and it arrived as I was just getting better, I didn't get to use it much but then winter came and this was the only blanket I had on alllll winter. It washes well (air dry it), it's soft and comfortable, the heating wires haven't died anywhere and still works, and I appreciate how warm it stays and insulates. I got COVID-19 a few weeks after buying this blanket and lord it was a lifesaver. I got the worse chills, but this blanket got me through it. Sometimes even when my back aches I cover my back with the blanket and it doubles up as a heating pad! I've had a few other heating blankets but they never survive a full year, this is the first blanket that is actually holding up pretty good and I've had it consistently on daily for the past half year or so. It's still running great.

Very soft and cozy. Warms quickly and the timer for shut off is great!

I’ve slept with a heated blanket every single night and even traveled with it. Even with daily use, this blanket held up for about a year before it finally started throwing errors. Honestly, that’s better than most I’ve owned. With how easily the internal wires get twisted and tangled over time, a lot of heated blankets don’t even make it six months. If you’re someone who uses a heated blanket occasionally, it’ll probably last you much longer. For heavy, everyday use like mine, a year is pretty solid.

Comfortable, lightweight, yet warm and cuddly. However, the temperature doesn't stay steady when you need it to.

This throw blanket was a lot smaller than expected. If I wasn’t super short at 5 ft tall, it wouldn’t even cover my feet. However it is just barely long enough. When opening it, you could really feel the wires in the blanket but surprisingly enough I can’t feel them against my body when laying under it. This blanket is a lot thicker than I expected. Most heated blankets are pretty thin but this one seems fairly thick and would definitely keep you warm. Very soft. The heating seems to be pretty good. Heats up quick and gets pretty warm even on the middle setting (which is great for me). It’s super soft and seems decently well made. Haven’t washed it yet so i don’t know how it holds up over time.

Uses around 100W of power at max setting. In fact, most settings draw about the same and there are not very big differences in them. I was initially disappointed in the heat output of the blanket at first like some others. It's been decades since I've owned an electric blanket so regulations have obviously changed. My guess is that most other blankets produce the same amount of heat by regulation alone. I can tell you it absolutely hasn't been a problem. I sandwich the blanket between a similar sherpa blanket and a merino wool blanket, followed by a comforter. Beneath me, is another sherpa blanket. This is so the electric blanket isn't making direct contact with the skin on my body and allows me to wash it much less frequently if at all during the winter. I use it primarily to pre-warm my bed, which sits next to an open window in the dead of winter (I close it when I sleep). Between the sherpa blankets and the electric on top, the heat easily makes its way through and fully warms the entire bed. Despite my initial disappointment, I usually can't make it 2 hours without having to turn it off, so I usually set the timer to 2-3 hours instead of 8 on the setting of 6. I am a cold sleeper (need a lot of warmth) and while I could get by without this, this is just so much better on top of the sherpa sandwich I get into at night, especially for my feet. I have tried just a heating pad before but those tend to bunch up under the blankets over just a few days. The twin size fits well and has decent overhang. I have not had to wash it yet. The texture on its own is very warm and comfortable.

I bought the Bedsure Heated Blanket Throw 50x60 Grey as a gift for a coworker and they really liked it. The blanket is very soft flannel with a cozy feel and a little puffiness. It’s not extremely thick but still warm and comfortable. The 50” x 60” size works well as a throw for the couch or while sitting at a desk. It plugs into a wall outlet and has a controller on the cord to adjust the settings. The cord is fairly long (around 9 feet), which makes it easy to use on a couch or chair without needing to sit right next to an outlet. It heats up quickly and has multiple heat and timer settings, so it’s easy to adjust the warmth. The grey color looks simple and nice, and it’s also machine washable, which makes it easy to maintain. The only small downside is that it’s a throw size, so it’s best for lap or upper-body warmth rather than full coverage. Overall it’s a comfortable heated blanket and makes a great gift for someone who gets cold easily.

My wife loves it, she hasn’t even tried it on high and says it warm enough. She especially likes the plush softness of it. Well worth the money, very glad I bought it for her!

I'm extremely pleased with this electric blanket. While I can tell the heating wires are there, it's fairly well hidden and it doesn't bothering me when I'm using it. And of course, most importantly, this heats up really well and is keeping me very warm in the winter. Actually, it's so warm I don't really go over the number 2 setting. I love having a timer to make sure the blanket turns off automatically in the mornings, and while it has a preheat setting I find that it warms up pretty quickly so I don't really need to use this feature. The controls are also very nice. It has a great balance where the buttons are easy to press without resistance, but are not so flimsy that it's unlike you'll change your heat/timer setting from accidentally bumping against it. I'm so happy I got this for the winter, and I strongly recommend it to others that want to have a warm and toasty bed.

Great blanket/throw with even comfortable heating - this is second bedsure heated blanket we have now as others brands have proven to be cheap with tiny uneven heating areas only. Would recommend if you want a cozy nights sleep or a cozy time on couch watching tv!

Wires are a little hard, but acceptable.

Bought two at Christmas, kids love them.
