In these days when you don’t want to give your hard earned cash to the greedy power companies this luxurious heated overblanked is a god send.
Cheap to run.
Nice and warm, sitting on the sofa watching TV snuggled up with a loved one.
I’ve bought a few more for friends and relatives as they are at a great price too.
Enjoyed last winter with this lovely warm soft blanket, helping me save my bills. The power cable recently developed a fault but has been replaced with new one without too much hassle. Excellent communications and services from the seller. Highly recommended.
Like most partners mines a cold arse. She loves this product.
One of our best purchases so far. The blanket is lightweight, soft, easy to move around and covers two people without a problem. Saved our energy bill to go over the top during winter as we managed to keep the central heating off we had the blanket to cover ourselves, during the day as I work from home as well as at night time, when me and my partner lie down in the sofa to watch TV.
Does what it says, stays warm for a long time after turning off so pleased the wife when I told her we had to turn the heating down 🙂
The best measure of a company is not what they do when things are going right but how they handle things when they go wrong. Purchased this blanket 18 months ish ago for my Dad and he loves it. The control panel recently failed and a replacement panel was sent out no fuss. Would definitely buy from them agai
Mother always complains how it is cold in the house and blankets don’t do much for her, I saw this and thought of her instantly, turns off if she falls asleep can even take it on road trips with a adapter I bought her, I recommend this mostly for older people and disabled people like my mother and my self and yes for others that just get cold, I might get one of these my self once I walm back up thank you for this
This little gem has been a lifesaver during the ridiculously cold weather and energy crisis. I have wrapped it around me whilst working from home, laid it over me whilst watching tv and draped it over my bed at night to keep me toasty warm. Not the most attractive thing in the world but quite frankly who cares!
I love this heated throw best ever, I had several other makes but had to send them back they didnt heat up and were rubbish…But this throw is excellent the best, it heats up well and is so warm I just love it…My husband has the same one..Anyone buying this throw wont be dissapointed its the BEST one yet Ive bought..Love it..
Very cozy and warmy, big help on energy saving. Have to mention MONHOUSE has excellent after service.
If you’re looking for a cosy experience and keeping yourself warm during winter, you may want to consider buying this product.

Overall Rating
9/10
I bought mine as I suffer quite bad with arthritis so feel cold a lot of time. Heats up quickly and only uses approx 4p per hour, which I save on central heating, which is using approx 1 per hour. Great present for parents and grandparents
Worked as expected. We have been using for 3 months, putting it over our legs in the evenings to keep warm. Haven’t tried washing it yet.
I really do love this fleece. It has saved me a lot of money as I don’t need to have my heating on. This keeps me lovely and warm. One of best buy I have ever done. I highly recommend.
So soft ant cosy, what’s up so fast and keeps you very warm. Size could have been slightly bigger for the price. But still a nice blanket no shedding either like a lot of fury blankets have.
Excellent item for background warmth on chilly days without the need for central heating. We drape it across the sofa and sit on it. Really warming and only 4 pence per hour to use so a great money saver. The puppies love it too !!!
Absolutely love this blanket, it’s especially snuggly and the fact that it heats up to get you warm quick or stays on low to keep you warm so you don’t have to have your heating on, it’s just great. It’s still very flexible even though there are heating wires throughout. Best buy this winter.
Bought one for my daughter and she liked it so much bought another for myself.
What a difference this has made to my bills. I drape myself in this while sitting at my desk working, which means I can have the heating off during the day. Uses a fraction of the power that an electric heater would use and cheaper than heating the whole house. Cosy, soft and as warm as you want to make it. Like it very much.
Update: after posting this review, I received an offer to replace the controller. I have therefore moved the rating from 1 star to 3. If I receive a new controlled and it works as it should, I will adjust the rating again.
Update 2: replacement controller very promptly received. I’ve revised the rating from 3 to 4.
One of the two has a fault with it’s controller so will not power up. This is just ten days after purchase. I have reached out to the support email address but have had nothing useful back yet.
I am still in my return window with Amazon so may still end up returning. Such a shame there are so many of these heated throw blankets that end up with faulty electronics.
After rereading the more recent reviews, I now doubt the quality of the electronics. Lots of others report the same issue.
Edit: Support replied after a long wait and sent out replacement electronics, this rating increased to 4 stars – it’s a nice blanket.
Wow. I bought this for my wife to keep her a little cosier when working at her desk (our home office is a little chilly at times), and the warmth this generates is incredible.
The fabric is warm in itself. Very indulgent. Put the heat on, and before you know it you want to curl up and do nothing for the rest of the day………so comfortable. If I had to add a negative, it would have to be that it’s too nice and I can see us buying more for family and friends ahead of the next winter.
I’m pleased I don’t have one – I’d never get off of the sofa again!
Can’t recommend enough. Wonderful item, with a luxury feel.
Bought this for my Dad. The blanket is a good size, soft, warm and comfortable even without turning it on. I am told by my Dad the temperature controls are easy to use and it provides good warmth. Cheaper than heating a room, heat yourself using the blanket instead!
This is a good product so far but having just had a bad experience trying to return other faulty electronics to Amazon I hope this doesn’t go wrong too. Not happy with Amazon ‘customer service’ recently and having to speak to a chatbot for 40 minutes before I get through to an actual person who can help is not how I want to spend my weekend.
The white ‘woolly’ side of the blanket sheds white bits of fluff which is a little annoying when you are wearing all black. I assume it will get less as it ages.
I like the fact it is more lightweight than the other heated throw I have so it is easier to wear around the shoulders.
I love that this size is big enough for two although I use it for my office as it covers my chair as well as my whole body. The temperature control is good as you have 7 heat options plus a low and high option and you can have it set to be on from 1 to 9 hours. It also washable and can go in the machine (not tumble dryer) which to brilliant.
I did develop a fault with the cable as it stopped working after about 11 months of use. However I contacted Monhouse and dealt with Hassan. Hassan went through the guide on how to use the blanket so as not to damage it, the instructions do tell you things like not to wrap the cable etc which I always follow. Hassan then arranged a replacement cable for me as I was still within warranty, which arrived quickly. Hassan was great and provided me with a fox and great customer service.
I’m now back to being warm in my office without having to use a cable from one of my other Monhouse blankets.
Bought this for my daughter, whose cold and damp student house was making her tired and ill. she described it as ‘a hug from a friend’, and having tried it myself I’m inclined to agree! Pricey, but lovely.
Cosy and warm, good value for money! Easy to use and gets warm pretty fast!
The initial blanket arrived faulty however they sent me a replacement and that one worked fine.
Update, I loved this product, got me through some very cold nights, unfortunately it stopped working after it got washed, I would recommend avoid washing it. Not enjoying my cold bed now. Just waiting on customer services to respond to my return request.
Update now 16 days since I contacted them with no response, customer service clearly non existent.
Bought for my 93 year old mother, she loves it. Easy to use, sometimes uses without turning on as blanket is soft and warm. Only thing I would add is the controller is cheap looking but it does its job.
They are soft and cosy, even without being switched on and plenty big enough (you could probably drape one single over 2 small-medium adults sitting together if you didn’t want to be totally wrapped!)
Importantly for my parents the control is easy to use – quite simple, easy to see and to hold. I might have preferred a lighter colour which was out of stock but am now pleased I got these as will be easier to keep clean by wiping down. Although machine washable I think it may be a bit of a faff to remove the electrical switch part.
I did a lot of research before buying to ensure safety protection (electrical and overheating) and CE compliant as always best to go with EU standards (for which the UK has always previously had considerable input!)
Prices are rising ridiculously at the moment due to demand but still I’m pleased i got something useful, snuggly and that looks good quality.
is perfect and at times, warm enough without having to switch the temperature on. Washes well too. I recommended this to 2 friends who purchased the same and they like me even more now .
So I got this blanket to drape over myself on colder days, and it really does work.
One thing is, it can take quite a long time to actually heat up, but when it does, it’s really nice and warm.
The inside of the house is dropping to around 15C most days and with this, I’ve yet to put the heating on. With the cost of gas these days, it’s probably already paid itself off in energy savings.
I’ve now used this for a while – the ONLY downside: the connector for the electricity is extremely difficult to disengage – I struggle with it and I’m in my 50s – I think anyone with weaker hands or arthritis will be physically unable to disconnect it and hence would have to unplug from the mains and if for example taking it into bed, would have the electric cable and plug in bed with them.
So glad I did! It is so soft and warm even before you plug it in. In fact I use it as an extra cover on my bed when it is switched off
I cover my legs with it primarily as I haven’t yet put the Central Heating on and the top half of my body is already kept warm by wearing a Blanket Hoodie.
It warms up really quickly when switched on and I was surprised at to just how warm it gets. My legs and feet are very grateful!
I highly recommend getting one if you want to keep yourself warm while watching TV if you have decided to keep the Central Heating off for as long as possible.
I have been reassured that it is considerably cheaper than putting on the heating and it feels very comforting which for me justified the initial cost
I have the one with the fleece on the inside and I highly recommend that one. Even if it means waiting a month for it like I did
I wish I had seen all the reviews complaining about the control panel and lack of customer service.
I’m finding it impossible to get in touch with either Amazon or the company to highlight the problem and get a refund.
Update After many weeks I finally made contact with the company.
They pointed out that the control panel should not be allowed to get covered up . The reason being the panel gets overheated and breaks.
My box did not contain those instructions neither is it pointed out on the label attached to my blanket. I wasn’t aware that maybe this had happened.
I have been sent a new control panel and this is working fine at the moment.
Needless to say I will take great care to make sure the control panel is not trapped under the folds of the blanket. Thankfully the blanket itself has been kept in pristine condition and wasn’t given to my dogs . It nearly happened. Moral of the story never give up hoping the company will get in touch all things are possible
My only concerns are that it is listed as watching washable and even shows a short video of someone putting in a washing machine – however instructions don’t seem so keen on this a say wipe clean. I actually purchased this because it stated machine washable.
100% a great investment- particularly with the current energy prices.
I am disabled and bought this for pain more than anything and so it is literally used all day and night long- every single day. It heats up in seconds and maintains temperature.
Controls are easy to use and after a few days you get used to the cord being attached- I find it easiest to keep this at the top right hand side.
Be careful not to let the blanket double over or bunch up on itself to where the internal wires would overheat- or leave sitting on top something that could be heated up and cause you to burn yourself on bare skin (careful with zips etc- the top temp is really hot if using continuously!) Timer works well.
Super comfortable for using on the sofa, or sleeping with- last winter I never used a duvet at all (or heating) as this blanket was much cosier, even once turned off!
The wires are channeled, so the blanket keeps it’s shape and the quality is good, so there isn’t a risk of wires being exposed.
It washes well. I use gel capsules in the drum and Unstoppables, and also toss in the tumble dryer- no issues at all. The cream shearling side has flattened somewhat a bit over time- but I do use this significantly more than most people likely would!
When not turned on, sometimes the blanket can seem a little more stiff as the wiring is a little more obvious then, but as soon as you switch it on it immediately softens the whole blanket (can do this and turn back off in a few minutes and will stay softer still for ages too)
I would recommend choosing this style of blanket over a mattress underblanket if you are undecided. While this can’t be slept on top of- you can simply lay this on top of the bedsheet with the duvet on top to heat up before getting in, then use on top to stay warm in bed. And you can also use in other areas around the house and share with others. Best of both worlds!
I thought I would buy this one, so far so good, some of the comments on this said it wasn’t all that but the majority were better than others so I thought I would try it out for myself.. it’s warms me up comfortably, it wasn’t the cheapest in the market but I didn’t want the cheapest, but it wasn’t the most expensive, it was middle market snd for that, I think it’s great value so far.. I’ve been using it a few months now didn’t want to review it straight away just incase something happened, but yes I like it..
My Best friend gave me an Amazon Voucher for Christmas & demanded i go straight online & order this heated blanket as she’s hated seeing me soooooo very cold which makes 1 of my disabilities much worse. She would have purchased it for me but wanted me to choose the colour I wanted!.
It is absolutley WONDERFULL, A TOTAL life changer, It’s really soft & fluffy, A really good size, Easy to use, Cheap to use & keeps me SOoooooo lovely & warm.
I absolutley LOVE this blanket & am going to now save up for another 1 so that i’ve got 1 for the lounge & another for my bedroom.
If you’re like me & struggling with the cost of energy or have a friend or loved 1 who is or if you’re just someone who really feels the cold then all i can say is BUY THIS BLANKET!!. It’s fabulous & an absolute life changer for me. I LOVE i
Spending more time at home and on the sofa recently I needed a heated blanket to keep me warm so I don’t have the heating on constantly, making my heating bills go through the roof !
A friend recommended one from John Lewis but that was over double the price of this one and even my friend has conceded my one feels so much softer, thicker and even heats up faster!
It arrived quickly after placing my order and came I a wonderfully packaged box. Opened the packaging and the blanket looks lovely and feels so so so soft and comfy . The stitching is perfect (I’m a bit OCD!). I literally just plugged it in and used the reallybsimple controller to set the heat level. Within a few minutes I was snuggled up and nice and warm.
The packaging makes it ideal for gifts so I am going to buy another one as a birthday present for my mum! I might even get one for my now jealous friend!
If I ever have an issue with the blanket after a period of time or after washing it etc I will be sure to update my review, but if you don’t hear from me, I maintain this is one of the best heated blankets money can buy and would recommend to all
