Which is better for a bed?

The Bedsure. Its Queen is 90x84 inches with two controllers, so each side gets its own heat setting. The Sunbeam throw is about 50x60 inches and comes with one controller.

The Sunbeam states a 36-month warranty; Bedsure does not state one. Both are machine washable, and the Bedsure's stronger seams and thicker fabric may hold up better to washing.

Is the Bedsure worth the extra $14?

Yes if you need bed coverage, a second controller or finer timer control. For a couch throw, the Sunbeam at $25.87 covers the job for less.

Which is cheaper to run?

The Bedsure draws 130W and the Sunbeam 150W, so the Bedsure uses slightly less power at the same setting. Both cost only cents per hour compared with a space heater.

Which has better safety features?

Both have auto shut-off and 6 heat levels. The Bedsure adds overheating protection and ETL and FCC certification; the Sunbeam offers a 36-month warranty.

Can both go in a washing machine?

Yes. Both are machine washable; detach the controller and follow the care label. The Bedsure also uses fade-resistant dyeing.
