The sudden temperature drop has taken us all by surprise, forcing all of us to pull out our woolliest blankets earlier than we’d like. But what if we told you that you could get by for another month with just a heated blanket? That way, instead of lugging out all your doonas and winter warmers early, you can just curl up in one of these electric throws instead and save all that unboxing for a later date.
In case you haven’t heard of them, heated throw blankets (also known as electric blankets) is a blanket lined with electrical heating wires that, when switched on, will let you burrito yourself up in it and warm up in a matter of seconds.
Most usually have a variety of different temperature settings and are made from a range of different fabrics, so you can find one that’s fluffy and soft or as aesthetically pleasing as it is toasty.
Now, we know what you’re thinking. An electric blanket is going to cost you a small fortune. Well, good news – they’re actually really affordable, with most of them ranging from $60 for a basic fleece throw up to $130 for a bougie faux fur one. If you thought hoodie blankets were good, wait until you snuggle up in one of these.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the best heated throw blankets that you can have delivered to your door before it really gets cold.
