The battery pack felt heavy and somewhat unwieldy.

The temperature stayed even without fluctuating, and didnt cool down once it was fully heated.

The king size we tested wasnt quite a true king we wish it was a little wider.

While it has no batteries, it comes with a decently long cord for plugging in.

We felt this blanket was a little too light and thin to be as effective as we wanted.

Once it heated up, we didnt notice any temperature fluctuations, and the blanket dispersed the heat well.

This blanket felt too small to really wrap up in.

This super plush blanket has a cozy heft with a luxurious and high-quality feel.

Its made with several layers of material, including a micro-plush velour face fabric with good heat distribution.

This blanket has a wide temperature range that maxes out at 108 degrees Fahrenheit with an automatic safety shutoff.

The instructions suggest preheating the blanket while its folded, which we loved for the immediate warmth.

Plus, it only took five minutes to preheat, so it felt fast and convenient.

The one-size offering is a little small for sharing.

The controller is easy to use and the recycled polyester surface material wipes off easily.

An auto shut-off feature would give us peace of mind.

And after two months of regular use, it shows zero signs of wear and tear.

Even with an extension cord, this isnt the most convenient option for use on the go.

This blanket held up nicely after being washed, and we didnt notice any durability issues or pilling.

Though these two didnt quite make our top picks, they may still be good options for some travelers.

How fast did the blanket heat up?

Were the tweaks adequate and accurate?

If you plan to use them on road trips, look for battery-powered models or blankets with car-charging capabilities.

Think About Washing

Dont take machine washing for granted!

Some blankets come with removable electric coils and cords, and some will have specific instructions for washing.
