Road Test: Dreamaker coral fleece heated throw
This electric heated throw can be detached from the hardware for machine washing. Which is useful, because there will be drooling.
What is it? An item that’ll transform your evening TV viewing at this time of year: a large, fluffy, heated blanket.
It’s a bit nanna, isn’t it? Don’t worry about that. Just luxuriate in the deep pile of that polyester coral fleece as you crank up the heat. And think of all the money you’ll save!
What do you mean? Well, with energy bills soaring, you may be thinking, “Why heat the whole home – or even the whole room – when you can just make a toasty cocoon?”
OK. But if you fall asleep, will it bake you like a potato? No, it has an automatic off-timer, and “double overheat protection” too.
How big is it? It’s 1.6m by 1.2m – big enough for two, should you wish to share – with a cord 2.3m long.
Anything else? Yes, the blanket can be detached from the electrical hardware for machine-washing. Which is handy, because there will definitely be some drooling.
