Sunbeam Royal Ultra Fleece Heated Throw review

About the Sunbeam Royal Ultra Fleece

This is Sunbeam's Royal Ultra Fleece heated throw, model TSF8US-R310-31A00, sold in a red colorway. The fabric is quilted fleece, and the throw is rated extra soft on the retailer listing we could read. It comes with a lighted controller on a 6-foot power cord.

The throw weighs about 3 lb. The care listing says it is machine washable and dryer safe. The controller has to come off before washing.

The listing we could open for this exact model gives 3 heat settings and a 3-hour automatic shut-off. Other listings for the same model number describe 4 settings and a 4-hour shut-off. Check the manual that ships with the throw before you rely on either figure.

What owners report about the Sunbeam Royal Ultra Fleece

We found little owner feedback for this exact model on pages we could open, so this section is short.

Owners on the retailer listing we read say it heats well and feels soft, and several bought it as a gift. One owner found the 3-hour shut-off left them cold. Another said the throw doesn't stay put on a bed overnight.

We found no owner reports of pilling or controller failures for this model on pages we could read, so we can't say how it holds up over time.

Who the Sunbeam Royal Ultra Fleece suits

It suits someone who wants a plain, washable fleece throw for sitting on a couch or chair, with a lighted controller and a cord long enough to reach an outlet.

Look elsewhere if you want a plush, sherpa-style feel, in which case the Westinghouse Electric Heated Throw or the Serta Fleece to Sherpa Heated Throw are worth a look. A throw with a longer timer, such as the Sealy Electric Throw Blanket, fits long evenings better. If a 3-hour cutoff would bother you, confirm the timer on the throw you receive.
