Wrap Yourself in Sleep-Inducing Warmth with the Best Electric Blankets

There’s never been a better time to give winter chills the cold shoulder! An electric blanket is an incredibly effective way to heat up your bed, while a heated throw is perfect for staying toasty warm while you curl up on the lounge.

Offering a sizzling range of electric throws and blankets in a selection of styles and sizes, Harvey Norman has you covered.

Are Electric Blankets Safe?

Designed with safety in mind, electric blankets are safe when stored and used correctly — with most electric blankets boasting ultra-convenient safety features to reduce the risk of fires and burns.

For a safe snuggle setting, consider the below for luxurious warmth, night after night:

1. Proper storage is essential to keeping your blanket in great condition. Gently roll rather than folding to avoid damage to the cords and wiring.
2. Never layer two electric blankets at one time and avoid hot water bottles.   
3. Switch your blanket on 10 to 30 minutes before you climb into bed, then turn it off as it isn’t necessary to keep it on all night.
4. Ensure yours has an overheat protection sensor which will automatically switch the blanket off if it detects high temperatures.
5. It is not recommended to use an electric blanket during pregnancy, for children under the age of five, or for individuals with reduced sensory capabilities or cognitive impairment.
6. Frequently check your blanket for significant fraying, scorching, exposed elements, or loose connections as this means time for a replacement!
7. Replace your blanket every five to ten years.

How Do You Choose an Electric Blanket?

Enter a new kind of comfort zone by choosing the right electric blanket for your needs:

• Material – Nestle into sumptuously soft micro fleece, luxe faux fur, plush wool or 100% cotton treated with antibacterial properties (ideal for allergy sufferers).
• Style – Choose a fitted blanket that stretches over your mattress or an over-blanket design. For the ultimate lounging experience, consider a versatile electric throw blanket. 
• Size – Choose from single, long single, king single and double up to queen, king and super king.
• Heat and safety features – Variable temperature settings, dual controls, auto shut-off timers and overheat protection ensure a safe slumber while delivering personalised comfort.

Can You Wash Electric Blankets?

Featuring detachable cords and controls, most modern electric blankets can be washed and dried on a delicate cycle. It’s incredibly important to follow the care label when washing or tumble-drying your electric blanket to avoid damage and ensure longevity.
