No. 10 of 10 in our [heated throws ranking](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/heated-throws/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **8.3 out of 10** A 160 x 120cm fleece heated throw with nine heat settings and a 12-hour auto-off timer. It suits anyone after a plain, low-cost throw for a sofa or desk in a cold room. Why it's here: - Nine heat settings and a 12-hour timer - Overheat protection and UKCA/CE marks on retailer listings - Weighs about 1.4kg, light enough to wear around the shoulders - Machine washable at 30°C with the controller off Keep in mind: - Lower owner rating than the brand-name throws - Basic fleece with no premium finish - Some owners report controller faults after a season or two [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075GY4XBF) ## Why the Dreamcatcher 12HR scores 8.3 - How happy owners are: 8th of 10 - How many rated it: 1st of 10 - How new it is: 10th of 10 ### Level with the Warmer Electric Heated Throw Blanket Extra Large 200 x 130cm The Warmer Electric Heated Throw Blanket Extra Large 200 x 130cm and the Dreamcatcher Heated Throw Blanket 9 Heat Settings 12HR Timer score the same, so either is a safe pick. The Warmer Electric Heated Throw Blanket Extra Large 200 x 130cm goes first because it is the newer design. ## About the Dreamcatcher 12HR The Dreamcatcher is a heated throw in 100% polyester micro fleece with a hollowfibre filling. It measures 160 x 120cm, a size B&Q lists as double. It runs on 220 to 240V and is rated at 120W. B&Q gives a range of 110 to 120W. It has a standard UK three-pin plug. A detachable digital controller sets one of nine heat levels. A 12-hour timer switches the throw off at the time you choose. The listings also give advanced overheat protection and say it meets UKCA and CE standards. Sellers quote a running cost of around 3p an hour on UK tariffs. For washing, detach the controller and cable first. The B&Q product details give a 30°C machine wash, though one line in the feature text says 40°C, so use the lower figure. The listings do not give a formal box list. They mention the throw, the detachable controller and a power cable. ### Key specs - Size: 160 x 120cm - Material: 100% polyester micro fleece, hollowfibre filling - Heat settings: 9 - Timer: Up to 12 hours, auto-off - Power: 120W, 220 to 240V - Washing: 30°C machine wash, controller and cable detached - Warranty: 2 years (24 months) ## What owners report about the Dreamcatcher 12HR We found little owner feedback about this exact model on the pages we could open. Retailer listings for it carry no owner reviews, and the one forum thread that mentions a Dreamcatcher throw is a single person's account, which does not make a pattern. Check the warranty terms before you buy. ## Who the Dreamcatcher 12HR suits It suits someone who wants a basic heated throw for a sofa, a chair or a desk, and who will use the long timer through a working day or a long evening. The size is enough for one person with the throw over the lap or shoulders. The fleece is plain and the controls are simple. Look elsewhere if you want a premium feel or a throw two people can share. The Dreamland Hygge Days Alaskan Husky Faux Fur Heated Throw is the one for a fur-rug finish. The Warmer Electric Heated Throw Blanket Extra Large 200 x 130cm and the ESTINGO Heated Blanket Throw 180x130cm are longer, for sharing on a sofa. ## Questions about the Dreamcatcher 12HR ### Can you machine wash the Dreamcatcher Heated Throw Blanket 9 Heat Settings 12HR Timer?

Too few review sites cover heated throws for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 34 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
