Best electric blankets for beds

Top pick: Bedsure Ribbed Heated Blanket — the one I'd buy for a bed. Six heat levels, ten timer settings and an 8-hour auto shut-off, in a soft 240 GSM flannel, and it's the best-reviewed of the bunch by a wide margin.

Who the others suit:

• Solid Flannel Heated Blanket — the simplest, most-reviewed flannel option if you just want warm and plain.
• Striped Flannel Heated Blanket — flannel on one side, sherpa on the other, for a cosier feel.
• Westinghouse Faux Fur — the most control: 10 heat levels and up to 12 hours.
• VelvetLoft — a big 84" x 90" for couples who want separate warmth.
• SUNNY HEAT Full — a budget full-size for a guest bed.
• MARNUR — small and cheap; fine for a twin or a sofa, not a queen.
