We’ve checked the best heated throws, electric blankets and heaters UK shoppers can buy this November, from a £40 Silentnight underblanket to sofa throws and portable radiators. Used carefully, they can help you stay warmer without turning the whole-house heating up as high. Running costs depend on your tariff and how you use the item, so we have not quoted unverified pence-per-hour figures. Prices checked on 11 November 2026 and may change.
A throw is for the sofa, an underblanket warms the bed, and a portable radiator is for one room. We only included in-stock Amazon UK items with a clear current price on 11 November 2026, and we dropped a Dreamland throw with no featured offer. Follow each maker’s safety advice, and unplug a damaged controller rather than keep using it.

Silentnight Comfort Control Heated Throw (120 x 160 cm)
The Silentnight Comfort Control Heated Throw (120 x 160 cm) is a fleece overblanket for the sofa, with nine heat settings, overheat protection and an automatic shut-off after two hours. On 11 November 2026 it was £44.99, in stock, with a 4.4/5 rating from 4,287 reviews, sold by Branded_Bedding — a third-party seller, so check the seller rating and delivery date.
The 120 x 160 cm size is enough to wrap around one adult, and reviewers consistently praise the soft fleece and the range of heat settings. Durability is more mixed: a noticeable share of reviews say a throw stopped working after a few weeks or months. Silentnight recommends switching it off before you go to sleep and avoiding constant use on the highest setting. We have not verified any running-cost claims on the packaging.
Beurer HD75UK Heated Throw (180 x 130 cm)
The Beurer HD75UK Heated Throw is a larger fleece throw, listed at 180 x 130 cm and 100 watts, with six temperature settings, BSS overheat protection and an automatic switch-off after about three hours. On 11 November 2026 it was £59.15, sold by Amazon, in stock, with delivery listed for Saturday 14 November or as soon as 12 November, and a 4.0/5 rating from 6,254 reviews.
The extra size is the main reason to pay more than the Silentnight throw if you want to cover more of a sofa. Reviews are mixed on heat and reliability: some find a gentle, even warmth, while others say it stays lukewarm even on setting 6, and a number report units that later stop working. The listing also notes it should only be machine-washed a limited number of times. Read recent reviews on heat output before you buy.
Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket, Double (135 x 120 cm)
If you want to warm the bed rather than the living room, an underblanket is the usual choice. The Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket, Double sits under the fitted sheet, with elasticated straps, five heat settings, a digital controller, auto shut-off and a three-year manufacturer’s guarantee. It measures 135 x 120 cm, which is smaller than a full double mattress — Silentnight designs it to sit in from the edges. On 11 November 2026 it was £40.00, sold by Amazon, in stock, with delivery listed for Saturday 14 November or Friday 13 November, and a 4.4/5 rating from 47,201 reviews.
Many buyers like pre-warming the bed on a medium setting, then turning it down or off. Size and durability are the main caveats: some reviewers find a double too short, and a substantial number report units that fail after a period of use. Follow the safety instructions, and unplug the controller if it flickers, smells of burning or will not switch reliably. Silentnight recommends switching electric blankets off before you go to sleep. We have not verified any pence-per-hour running-cost figures.
Dimplex ECR15 Oil-Free Portable Radiator, 1.5 kW
The Dimplex ECR15 is an oil-free 1.5 kW column heater with three heat settings, a thermostat, castors, overheat protection and a tip-over cut-out. Dimplex suggests it for small to medium rooms of around 12–18 m². It comes with a 1.8 m cable and a three-year guarantee (registration required). On 11 November 2026 it was £68.00, sold by Amazon, in stock, with delivery listed for Saturday 14 November, and a 4.6/5 rating from 297 reviews.
Oil-free columns are usually lighter than oil-filled models and easier to move between rooms. Reviewers generally find it heats a small or medium room quickly, though it will struggle in a large, poorly insulated space, and some mention noise as the thermostat cycles. Dimplex claims faster warm-up than some oil-filled models in lab tests; we have not independently verified those figures.
De’Longhi Radia S Oil-Filled Radiator, 2000W (TRRS0920E.G)
The De’Longhi Radia S (TRRS0920E.G) is a 2000W oil-filled radiator with a digital LED panel, timer (0.5–24 hours), thermostat, anti-frost and Eco Plus modes, plus folding castors. De’Longhi lists it for rooms up to 60 m³. Oil-filled radiators take longer to warm up than some oil-free models, but they can keep radiating heat after you switch them off. On 11 November 2026 it was £139.99, in stock, with delivery listed for 12 November, a 4.6/5 rating from 179 reviews, sold by third-party seller Natures Warehouse LTD on the buy box when we checked — confirm the seller and condition before you buy.
This is the most expensive item here and is aimed at heating a whole room rather than just you. Reviewers like the quiet operation, timer and the fact it arrives largely ready to use. We have not verified any monthly bill-saving figures. If you only need to warm one person on the sofa, a throw will use far less power than a 2 kW radiator — compare the listed wattage and your hours of use.
How we chose, and a note on energy use
Every product here was checked on Amazon UK on 11 November 2026. We looked for a clear in-stock price, a well-known brand or a solid volume of recent reviews, and a mix of sofa throws, a bed underblanket and portable radiators. We dropped a Dreamland throw with no featured offer, and a cheaper Beldray radiator with few reviews and very limited stock.
Heated throws and underblankets are typically rated at a much lower wattage than room heaters (the Beurer throw is listed at 100 W; the Dimplex and De’Longhi units are 1.5 kW and 2 kW). Warming yourself or pre-heating a bed can be more targeted than heating a whole house, but any saving depends on your tariff and how you use the product. We have not repeated unverifiable running-cost claims.
Do not fold or bunch a heated throw tightly while it is on, and replace any unit with a damaged lead or controller. Fit underblanket straps so the blanket stays flat. Keep portable heaters on a level surface, away from curtains, and do not dry clothes on them.
Frequently asked questions
Is a heated throw cheaper to run than central heating?
It can be, if you are warming one person instead of several rooms, but we cannot give a single pence-per-hour figure that will be true for every household. Check the listed wattage, your unit rate and how many hours you will use it. A 2 kW radiator left on all evening is very different from a 100 W throw.
Can I sleep with an electric blanket switched on?
Follow the instructions for your exact model. Silentnight recommends switching its electric blankets off before you go to sleep. If a controller smells of burning, flickers or will not switch reliably, unplug it and stop using it.
Throw, underblanket or portable heater — which should I buy first?
Buy a throw if you mainly sit in one spot in the evening, an underblanket if cold beds are the problem, and a portable radiator if you need to warm a whole room. Prices checked on 11 November 2026 and may change.
