While this isn't technically an electric blanket, it gets a special mention for its affordable price tag and clever design. The oversized sleeves will keep you both warm and free to easily type on your laptop or sip a cup of coffee without having chilly fingers, while the front pouch is perfect for storing a kindle or your phone. Did we mention it's machine-washable too?

If you love an electric blanket but want a bit more freedom to move around, this poncho design couldn't be more perfect. It's made with overheat protection, has fasteners to hold it in place and nine heat and time settings.
One five-star review sung its praises: "My poncho has the popper front to close it up & it’s got fantastic length on the body so you do feel warm & the heat isn’t escaping out of the back or the front. The arm length is perfect, not too long that they’re in the way you can still do things. It’s lovely to use without the heat on to stay warm & I’ve used this everyday instead of putting my heating on unnecessarily."

If cold feet are a daily bugbear, you need The Snuggler. It's super-soft with sleeves and a pouch for feet, three temperature settings and a three-hour auto shut-off feature for and added safety feature. Best of all, when it needs a wash, simply pop it in the washing machine on a 30 degree cycle.
One happy shopper said: "Absolutely love this blanket! The sleeves make it a perfect option for staying warm whilst working on a laptop and using your arms. Choosing to use the foot pouch retains the heat, so you don’t need it turned on for long before hours of staying warm."

We love this embossed design that when not in use, will still add a cosy addition to your sofa. There are nine heat and time settings too, and it's extra large to cover every inch of you when working from home.

There are plenty of convincing five-star reviews too, such as this one: "A gorgeous Christmas present. Was very tempted to keep it myself! It’s lightweight and easy to manage for a person that [sic] needs some extra warmth but wants to move the blanket around the house and to carry upstairs etc. Great that it’s washable."
