The short answer: on value for money, the Ashby & Pine Hooded Heated Blanket Shawl Wrap (£29.95) comes out top: it has 8 heating zones, a hood and a front zip, while the others we compared list 3 heat zones or panels at £22 to £60. If you want the cheapest option, the OHS heated hoodie blanket (around £22) is the budget pick. For full-length head-to-toe coverage on USB, choose the Silentnight Snugsie. For a mains-powered blanket with sleeves, look at Carmen; for the most heat control, Bedsure.

How we ranked them
We ranked on value for money: what you get for the price. We looked at the number of heating zones (more zones means heat spread across more of your body), heat settings, how you power it, coverage and design. Comfort and warmth are personal, so where a rival does something better than ours, we say so.
1. Ashby & Pine Hooded Heated Blanket Shawl Wrap: best value overall
- Price: £29.95
- Heating: 8 heating zones, 3 heat levels via a chest button
- Design: integrated hood, front zip, textured waffle-knit outside with a grey fleece lining, 150 x 80cm
- Power: USB, so it runs from a power bank, laptop or plug adapter
- Colours: khaki, green, red
Why it ranks first: it's the only blanket in this comparison with 8 heating zones, and it costs less than most of the rivals that list 3. The hood and zip mean it stays on while you move around the house, cook or work at a desk, which is why it's our best-seller.
Where it falls short: it's a shawl-style wrap that covers your head, shoulders and top half, not a full-length blanket, and it has no sleeves. If you want head-to-toe coverage on the sofa, see the Silentnight Snugsie below or our own full-length Wearable Heated Blanket with Hood.
2. OHS Heated Oversized Sherpa Hoodie Blanket: lowest price
- Price: from about £22 at Argos (other OHS heated hoodie blankets from about £17 at Online Home Shop)
- Heating: 3 heat panels, behind the front pocket, on the lower back and across the shoulders
- Design: oversized hoodie with sherpa lining and sleeves
- Power: USB; some versions come with a power bank
Verdict: the cheapest way into a heated wearable, with the bonus of sleeves. It has fewer heating areas than ours (3 panels versus 8 zones), so the heat is more concentrated in spots.
3. Silentnight Snugsie USB Heated Wearable Blanket: best full-length USB blanket
- Price: seen from £28 (B&Q, usually £36) up to £50 (Argos)
- Heating: 3 heat zones, 3 heat settings, about 15 minutes to heat up according to Argos
- Design: supersized 150 x 180cm with built-in sleeves, boucle fleece with sherpa reverse
- Power: USB; timer with auto shut-off and overheat protection; 3-year manufacturer's guarantee (Argos listing)
Verdict: a well-known brand with full-length coverage, sleeves and a long guarantee. It beats ours on coverage and guarantee; ours offers more heating zones and a hood with a zip at a similar or lower price.
4. Carmen Heated Wearable Blanket: best mains-powered with sleeves
- Price: about £47 at Currys (seen from £40 to £56 at other retailers)
- Heating: heat element in the pocket area that spreads through the blanket; multiple heat settings via a detachable controller; 90-minute automatic timer; overheat protection
- Design: 183 x 155cm, long sleeves, 260gsm flannel fleece
- Power: mains plug
Verdict: big, warm and simple for the sofa. Because it plugs into the wall, you're tied to one spot; USB blankets like ours and the Snugsie go wherever a power bank goes.
5. Bedsure Wearable Heated Blanket Throw: most heat control
- Price: about £59 on Amazon UK (127 x 180cm, beige)
- Heating: 6 heat settings and a preheat function
- Design: wearable throw, 127 x 180cm
- Power: mains plug
Verdict: the most heat settings in this list, for people who like to fine-tune. It's also the most expensive here and mains-powered, so it's less portable.
