Sweet Dreams Electric Blanket King Size Dual Controls, Luxury Bed Fleece Heated Mattress Cover, Machine Washable Heated Underblanket, Overheat Protection (King Size)

My previous electric blanket gave up the ghost so I decided to buy this Sweet Dreams one because of the many good reviews and I am not disappointed. My old e. blanket did me a huge favour breaking down as this one is far superior in quality and comfort. It covers the whole king size bed (no gaps or shortfalls unlike my old one). The fleece is so soft and cosy. The controls are in the best position, out of the way at the very top of the blanket, not under your shoulder. My old one was uncomfortable is this regard and it had ties on it which I never used and so it wrinkled up which was also uncomfortable but this Sweet Dreams one has a mesh skirt which has plenty of room (and some to spare) to fit over my fairly deep mattress on top of which is a featherbed and so the new blanket stays firmly in place.I did have a bit of trouble understanding the controls - after turning it up to highest (6) - when I tried to turn it down, after 5 seconds it went back up to 6, it kept doing this until I realised that the + - on the right hand side is for upping the temperature and the + - on the left of the control is for the down temperature (if that makes sense)In my mind I had been thinking the left + - was for the other side of the blanket (silly me) but of course it is dual control. To me the highest, 6 was not too hot, just lovely and comfortable and when it was turned down the heat lingered a long time so you still feel warm once it's turned off. When I switched off my old blanket the heat instantly disappeared. I highly recommend this Sweet Dreams e. blanket and wanted to buy another one from the Amazon seller but unfortunately the king size cannot be shipped to me here in Ireland for whatever reason/s since I bought it so I may have to buy another from elsewhere. Strangely, it says that the double size can be shipped here so why the limitation ? This brand is not easy to find though, only here on Amazon and one other famous site. To anyone wondering if this electric blanket is any good I would say, go ahead and buy it because it is good value and very comfortable and cosy for all the reasons stated above.

Fantastic product . Everyone should have one, cheap to run ,easy to use , very comfortable good quality sleep when using this very hard wearing

Perfect for winter

Biggest problem was getting it on the bed - the elastic bit is like a circle - 3 corners went on ok but the 4th was incredibly difficult. The skirt bit on the other hand is way too much. However having said that it does the job it’s meant to do & keeps me snuggly & warm although the setting always jumps to 6 regardless of what setting you want.

The very best purchuase I have made for winter.It is nice and soft, very comfortable to sleep on. Has 2 sides and each has remote control and can be set up separately. which is perfect as allows to control each other half. Has a 9h timer. It is wired inside, however the soft cushion around masks it very nicely. This blanket goes over the mattressCons- Significantly adds to the electric bill (more than £1 per night use)- Had to buy additionally suspending clips to ensure that blanket stays in place- Has 6 heat settings, but it is impossible to sleep when it is higher than 3. 2 is comfortable when the room temperature is between 15 and 17C

After much research this one ticks all the boxes: skirting to keep it in place, plastic part goes under pillow so as not to be annoying when sleeping, controls easy to see and work, heats quickly - within 5 mins it's taken the chill off. The only difference with this one and my old one (which I loved but the controls on my side! stopped working) is that it doesn't have a separate feet and body option (not a big deal) and I find number 1 heat is often too hot to leave on overnight - this hasn't been an issue yet as it's not cold enough to wake up cold but I would prefer it to be a bit cooler.

I spent a long time on Amazon checking for the best Electric Blanket to purchase to keep us warm during Winters in our cold Farmhouse.I thought I had found the perfect one when I stumbled upon the Sweet Dreams Electric Blanket - the reviews looked good and it seemed competitively priced.The plus points are that it is snuggly, the dual controls are a great feature and the fact it fits over the corners of the mattress means it stays in place well .... HOWEVER none of these features matter one bit now due to the fact that it has ALREADY BROKEN!!!One side (my side!) has already stopped working completely and it was only purchased a year ago ..... so basically it has had one Winter's use only!!I have found this to be similar to other electric blankets I have previously purchased, however they were a much cheaper price than this one - I put my previous purchases down to buying cheap brands so decided to splash a little bit more on something I expected to work for longer than a few Winter Months!I really dislike leaving negative reviews, but felt I needed to let other electric blanket shoppers know that this one definitely isn't made to last anywhere near as long as it should!My recommendation is to avoid purchasing this electric blanket - it really is no better than the cheaper ones out there!I am now going to hunt out a new one and either try and find one which has a decent warranty or simply go for a low priced one, which, if it stops working after just one Winter then at least I haven't paid much for it!
