It takes our Value for Money badge. No. 5 of 10 in our [electric under-blankets ranking](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **8.5 out of 10** · Value for Money A single electric underblanket from Russell Hobbs, 70 x 150cm, with ties to hold it on the bed and three heat settings. It suits one person who wants a low-power way to warm a bed, not couples or anyone needing full mattress coverage. Why it's here: - Ties attach it to the bed - Three heat settings - Machine washable once the controller is removed - Low running cost Keep in mind: - Single size only, so no dual control for couples - No timer listed - At 70 x 150cm it does not cover a full single mattress [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07V8N3JQH) ## Why the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single scores 8.5 - How happy owners are: 5th of 10 - How many rated it: 10th of 10 - How new it is: 3rd of 10 ### Why it sits behind the Wärmer Electric Blanket Double Dual Control Fitted The Wärmer Electric Blanket Double Dual Control Fitted (8.6) edges the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single Electric Underblanket (8.5) on the balance of all three parts. ## About the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single This is a single-size electric underblanket in white polyester. It measures 70 x 150cm and attaches to the mattress with ties rather than an elasticated skirt, so it lies on top of the bottom sheet's mattress area instead of wrapping the whole bed. A detachable controller has three heat settings (low, medium and high). The cord is 2m long and the blanket is rated at 60W. Retailer listings state overheat protection and BEAB approval. The cover is machine washable at 40°C once the controller is unplugged and removed. Retailer listings say to air dry it and not to tumble dry. ### Key specs - Size: Single, 70 x 150cm - Heat settings: 3 (low, medium, high) - Power: 60W - Material: 100% polyester, white - Fixing: Ties to attach to the bed - Controller: Detachable, 2m power cord - Washing: Machine washable at 40°C, controller removed; air dry - Safety: Overheat protection, BEAB approved ## What owners report about the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single Owner feedback for this exact model is thin, so treat what follows as a small sample from one retailer's reviews. The positive comments are about comfort and speed: it warms the bed quickly, it is easy to fit, and the cable is long enough for most bedsides. Owners also say cleaning is easy. The complaints are about sleeping on it. Two owners found the controller uncomfortable or badly placed where it ends up under the body. One reported that the heating elements felt poorly positioned for sleeping and that the fabric irritated their partner. ## Who the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single suits It suits one person with a single bed who wants a cheap, low-wattage blanket to take the chill off the sheets, or a spare-room and student bed. Because it is 70cm wide, it covers the middle of the mattress and not the edges. Look elsewhere if you share a bed, since there is one controller and no dual control: the Homefront Fitted Fleece Electric Blanket King Dual Control or the Wärmer Electric Blanket Double Dual Control Fitted cover that need. If you want a timer, the GlamHaus Double Electric Blanket Fitted Quilted has one. Light sleepers who dislike a controller near their body should check where the cable and controller will sit first. ## Questions about the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single ### Is the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single Electric Underblanket machine washable? Yes. Retailer listings say it can be washed at 40°C once the controller is removed. Air dry it: it should not be tumble dried. ### How big is the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single Electric Underblanket? It measures 70 x 150cm. That is narrower and shorter than a standard single mattress, so it does not cover the whole bed. ### How many heat settings does the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single Electric Underblanket have? Three: low, medium and high. The controller detaches from the blanket. ### How much power does the Russell Hobbs Fitted Single Electric Underblanket use? It is rated at 60W. That is low for an electric blanket. ## All 10 electric under-blankets, compared | No. | Product | Score | Badge | | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | | 1 | [Homefront Fitted Fleece Electric Blanket King Dual Control](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/homefront-fitted-fleece-electric-blanket-king-dual-control/) | 8.8 | Best Choice | | 2 | [Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/silentnight-comfort-control-electric-blanket/) | 8.7 | | | 3 | [Silentnight Luxury Hotel Collection Electric Blanket](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/silentnight-luxury-hotel-collection-electric-blanket/) | 8.7 | | | 4 | [Wärmer Electric Blanket Double Dual Control Fitted](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/warmer-electric-blanket-double-dual-control-fitted/) | 8.6 | | | 5 | **Russell Hobbs Fitted Single Electric Underblanket** (this review) | 8.5 | Value for Money | | 6 | [EMtronics Heated Electric Under Blanket Double](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/emtronics-heated-electric-under-blanket-double/) | 8.5 | Best Budget | | 7 | [GlamHaus Double Electric Blanket Fitted Quilted](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/glamhaus-double-electric-blanket-fitted-quilted/) | 8.4 | | | 8 | [Slumberdown Sleepy Nights Electric Blanket](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/#slumberdown-sleepy-nights-electric-blanket) | 8.4 | | | 9 | [Cozytek Double Electric Blanket](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/#cozytek-double-electric-blanket) | 8.3 | | | 10 | [Daewoo Double Electric Heated Underblanket](https://vettedten.com/household/electric-blankets/under-blankets/#daewoo-double-electric-heated-underblanket-hea1909ge) | 8.2 | | ## How we score it Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Too few review sites cover electric under-blankets 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 26 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.
