Electric blankets are essential in winter. Not only do they keep you snug during the cold season, but they're also a great way to reduce your heating bill. Lowering the thermostat by 10 to 15 degrees for eight hours, while using your heated blanket as an alternative, can save approximately five to 15% a year on heating costs, which alone can pay for the blanket.
Every winter, heated blankets are practically impossible to get your hands on as they're already sold out, which is why this year, it's wise to shop early before you're left in the cold. We've gathered some of the most popular and best-reviewed heated blankets so you can save money on your heating bills and keep snug this winter.
