It depends on the bed. A basic strap-down blanket such as the Silentnight Comfort Control or Daewoo underblankets suits one sleeper on a budget. Couples are better served by a dual-control model such as the Silentnight Hotel Collection or Homefront Fitted Fleece King Dual Control. We compared 26 under-blankets and ranked these ten from owner ratings, so the order reflects what buyers report. ### Do I need a dual control electric blanket? If you share a bed with someone who runs warmer or colder than you, yes. Dual-control blankets have two controllers, one per side, and each can be set or switched off separately. A single-control blanket suits one sleeper, or a couple who like the same heat. Single sizes never need two controllers. ### What size electric blanket do I need for my bed? Match the blanket to the mattress, not the label, because sizes vary by brand. A UK king mattress is about 150 x 200cm, and the Homefront king is 152 x 203cm. Some strap-down doubles are only 120 x 135cm, so they warm the middle and leave edges and feet cold. A fitted skirt grips the mattress; straps tie under it. Check depth too, as straps on the Slumberdown Sleepy Nights suit mattresses up to about 30cm. ### Is it safe to leave an electric blanket on all night? Check the maker's advice. Silentnight says to switch the blanket off before you fall asleep, and that pre-heating the bed is enough. Blankets with a timer, such as the GlamHaus, can shut themselves off. Never fold or bunch a blanket while it is on, and do not use it on an adjustable bed. Fit a 30mA RCD where you can. Check for fraying or scorch marks, and replace any blanket that is over ten years old. ### How much does it cost to run an electric blanket for 8 hours? Very little against heating a room. A 60W blanket costs about 2p an hour at 34p per kWh, so about 16p for 8 hours on high. Daewoo quotes about 2p an hour for its double on full power. Pre-heating on a low setting for an hour costs about 1p, and most of the cost falls once the bed is warm and you turn it down. ### Can you wash an electric blanket? Yes, if the maker says so. Unplug it, detach the controller and cable, and use a cool, gentle cycle: Cozytek allows 40 degrees. Daewoo says to line dry and not to tumble dry or iron its blankets. Dry the blanket fully before you plug it back in. Rolling it loosely for storage protects the wires. ## How we ranked these ten Every score here comes from our ranking model, not from anyone's opinion.
