The home retailer's electric blanket has added padding for extra comfort, three heat settings and a one year guarantee and it's this combination of features that has impressed one of the buyers, saying, 'Best winter buy! I wanted an electric blanket that would heat fairly quickly, one that I couldn’t feel the wires whilst sleeping on it. I wanted easy controls and decent cable length. One that was easy to fit and most of all comfort and good heat! This blanket ticks every box! 100% happy with my purchase'.

One customer happily bought more than one to spread the winter joy, saying, 'These electric blankets are soo good I even bought them for my guest bed and one for a friend for Christmas. Absolute game changer! Love it and don’t know how I coped without it'.

Another buyer is pleased with the versatility of the blanket, saying, 'Absolutely brilliant use at my caravan stays flat on the bed does not ride up like others I have had quite padded which adds to the comfort and heats quite quickly to a pleasant temperature very happy;, and another also commented on the blanket staying in position, saying, 'A lovely blanket that doesn't slip during the night due to my restlessness'.

One customer recommends putting the Fogarty Soft Touch Embossed Electric Blanket on before bed, saying, 'Thought this would be a good idea, save on central heating, a lovely warm bed on colder nights, works perfectly, putting it on one hour before bedtime, switching it off when I climb in, TOASTY!'.

Dunelm product details state that the blanket can be machine washed, with the controller removed, and line dried, is made from polyester fibre but there is the risk of overheating if used with a memory foam topper.

A few more negative reviews say, 'I was disappointed with my blanket. Although it was king size it didn’t have dual controls' and 'It does work quite well for warming the bed up and is thin enough that it doesn't make the bed uncomfortable but takes a while to heat up though'.
