The Sunbeam Royal Ultra throw blanket comes in one size, approximately 50 by 60 inches. Like the other heated blanket from this brand, the Royal sunbeam electric blanket Ultra is made of 100% polyester but only comes in four colors. The following heated blankets have taken the above features into consideration.
The Sunbeam logo and the model number are printed on the wash label affixed to the blanket. Once you turn on your blanket and choose your heat level, electricity flows through internal wires that run evenly throughout your blanket. Some models have extra-thin wires that are barely noticeable. The wires inside many of the electric blankets monitor temperature and auto-adjust throughout the night to maintain even warmth throughout your bedding. Some heated blankets use a dial to help you click through their different heat settings, while others have a digital display with plus and minus buttons to set your heat level.
This mattress pad also has an all-cotton quilted top, one of the few that’s made of 100% cotton. The fill (held in place with a wave-like stitch pattern that’s spaced about 3½ inches apart) is polyester, with a sunbeam heated throw loft that adds comfort to the mattress without feeling overly cushioned . The king and queen pads need only one outlet, unlike other heated bedding we tried from Perfect Fit and Biddeford, which required two.
Drengenberg said that advances in the construction of heating wires and thermostats have also led to safer products. The Sunbeam Cozy Feet does several things very well, starting with producing consistent, distributed heat throughout the entire blanket. Larger sizes, like the queen we tested, offer dual heating zones with separate temperature controls so that two people can both sleep comfortably.
If no amount of sweatpants or space heater can keep you warm, one cozy option is an electric blanket that plugs into the wall and melts icicle toes like no other. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or a last-minute holiday gift, a best-seller you’ve got to consider is the Sunbeam Microplush Reverse Fleece Heated Throw — and it’s on sale. Some electric blankets have an issue of heat pockets developing in folds or wrinkles in the blanket. While there is some of that with the Sunbeam electric blanket, the heat remains evenly distributed most of the time. Only when there were large folds underneath my body did I notice a hot spot. I tried, in general, not to wrap it underneath my body since that’s not recommended anyway.
