Rank #9 in Best Electric Blanket 2026: 10 Ranked on Size and Safety
Dreamland Snuggle Up Electric Throw, Velvet
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Snuggle Up is the second Dreamland here and the throw option: navy blue velvet plush at a listed fast heat-up of five minutes, with one control, six heat settings, a timer and overheat protection, machine washable and tumble dry low.
Five minutes to heat is the figure worth comparing against underblankets, which are usually meant to warm a bed before you get in. A throw is for the sofa, and a five minute ramp makes it usable without planning ahead. At the time of collection it carried 2,055 ratings at 4.4 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“We’ve been using this since it arrived and have been really pleased with it. It heats up quickly, the controls are very easy to use and the material is lovely and soft. You can feel the wires if you deliberately look for them, but during normal use they aren’t uncomfortable or particularly noticeable.We mainly use it as a throw over the sofa to create a heated seat on cold evenings, and it works brilliantly for that. It’s also been straightforward to wash and has stayed nice and soft.One thing I would be careful of is letting it bunch up or trapping anything inside it while it’s running on a high setting. We accidentally had a TV remote wrapped up in it once and it became extremely hot, with the remote battery later swelling. Since then we’ve just made sure the blanket is kept reasonably flat and nothing is left wrapped inside it.Despite that, we really like it and would happily buy another.”
Verified purchase“My mum had received one of these for a Christmas gift. I was also offered one but declined because I didn’t think I would use it. How wrong I was! After trying it once I was on Amazon straight away. The heated blanket is like slipping into a warm bath. I am a naturally cold person and most nights I cannot wait to get under my blanket in front of the telly. It’s such a joy.The heat settings are good with a range from 1 to 6. 6 is too hot, 3 or a 4 being optimum. Obviously the parts of the blanket with the heating element get the hottest, but it seems fairly well distributed and so hot spots can be avoided in the main. There is a timer function with auto shut off so you can choose between an hour, 3 hours or 9 hours.The feel of the blanket is a lightweight and soft fleece. It can be washed in the machine if you unplug the control and is not too bulky to put through a washing machine at home. I believe that there is a more expensive blanket with a ribbed design which is a little more bulky but I am happy with this one.As soon as I get this out the dog jumps up on the sofa in readiness. He knows what’s good.I believe that this doesn’t consume much energy and so can be a God send in homes without much heating, or for the elderly or ill who feel the cold.I’ve had it a good long while now with no issues. It seems safe although I always unplug when done.Recommend to all.”
