About this deal
Easy to clean, this furry throw is made from machine washable polyester and acrylic and can even go in your tumble dryer. Plus it comes with a storage bag to keep it clean and dust-free when it’s not in use.
Aesthetically, it has a discreet, inoffensive style and the range of colours Dreamland offer means you can at least tie it in with your decor scheme. It’s a tad heavier than your average plush throw but if anything this makes it feel cosier and warmer. With three heat settings and a pre-heat switch so you can get straight into a warm bed, you don't have to worry about getting too hot either as they incorporate an overheating protection facility. Unlike electric blankets of old, these electric under blankets are elasticated, so are simple to fit over your bed – and even when the electric blanket is off you'll still be sleeping on soft, fleecy luxury.
