What to look for when buying an electric blanket
1. Underblanket or over blanket?
An underblanket sits on the mattress under the fitted sheet and warms the bed before you get in. A wrap or throw is something you wear on the sofa. Decide first where you need the warmth.
2. Separate zones and dual controls
In a double bed, one person often feels the cold more. The Warmbed lets you set body and feet separately, with dual controls from 140 cm wide. On a double that makes 4 zones.
3. Mains or power bank?
An underblanket is for home. The Gløde wrap runs on a power bank, so it works at the kitchen table or in a chilly conservatory. For run times, see how long the battery in heated clothing lasts.
4. Safety
Look for overheat protection and automatic shut-off. The Warmbed has both, plus a 1, 3 or 9-hour timer. The Medisana switches off after 20 minutes.
5. Washing
With the Warmbed you detach the controller and the blanket can go in the washing machine. The Medisana has a washable cover.
6. Heating bills
A warm bed or warm shoulders can be a reason to lower the thermostat. See our page on heated clothing to save on gas.
The blankets reviewed
Gløde Warmbed heated underblanket: our pick for bed
The Warmbed comes first because on paper it is the most complete for nightly use. It has a comfort layer and a separate foot zone, so cold feet no longer mean a hot bed. Choose from 6 settings and set a timer for 1, 3 or 9 hours. From 140 cm wide, each side has its own control. The controller detaches and the blanket is machine washable, with overheat protection and automatic shut-off.
The Warmbed costs from €99.95 to €169.95 depending on size. To be clear: it is currently out of stock, so it cannot be shipped straight away. See all models in electric blankets and heated mattress toppers.
Gløde heated wrap: for the sofa
Described as soft as a wool throw, with a built-in heat zone around the neck and shoulders. The fabric is wool-like fleece at 260 g/m². 3 settings: roughly 30 to 40, 40 to 50 or 50 to 60°C. A Gløde power bank is always included; choose 10,000 mAh for an evening on the sofa or 20,000 mAh, which Gløde says lasts about twice as long. See also the 20,000 mAh power bank.
The heated wrap costs from €109.95 to €129.95 and is also currently out of stock. More models in heated wraps, capes and ponchos.
All Gløde products come with a 2-year warranty, a 30-day money-back trial and a 4.8 Trustpilot rating from 237 reviews.
Medisana OL 800 outdoor heated blanket
A blanket and seat pad in one for €94.95 (price November 2026). It runs on USB 5V/2A from a power bank that is not included. Pros: 3 settings, washable cover, auto shut-off after 20 minutes. Cons: you buy the power bank separately, and after 20 minutes you need to switch it back on.
Outchair Comforter L
A portable 120 x 90 cm blanket with a 20,000 mAh power bank included, handy outdoors. The page we checked showed no price and no details on settings or temperature.
Who is an electric blanket for?
- People with cold feet: the separate foot zone on the Warmbed.
- Couples who feel the cold differently: dual controls from 140 cm.
- Home workers: the wrap at your desk on a grey, damp afternoon.
- Anyone cutting heating costs: a warm bed instead of a warm bedroom.
- Campers and football fans: a power bank blanket such as the Medisana or Outchair.
