Best electric blankets to stay cozy all winter

We’ve had a lot of cold fronts that drop the temperature down to crazy lows. It’s startling, and you don’t always want to crank the heat across your house. These electric blankets keep you cozy during frigid winters, rainy nights and whenever you feel a bit of a chill coming on.

We’ve put together a nice variety so you can choose based on price, accessibility and size.

Overall best electric blanket

Sealy is a solid brand with quite a long history in bedding. While this is the most expensive electric blanket on the list, it’s for a good reason. You have a massive layer of coverage of 84 by 90 inches to cover a queen size bed, up to 10 different heat settings and a warm, comfortable exterior made from flannel and sherpa.

If the warmth lulls you to sleep, you don’t have to worry about spiking your electricity bill or running into fire risks. Enjoy peace of mind with the automatic 1 to 12-hour shut-off feature.

With dual digital controllers and a five-year warranty, Sealy delivers one of the best all-around options for electric blankets.

Best middle-of-the-road electric blanket

Sunbeam offers a unique way to heat your bed before you hop in. This full-size electric blanket is designed to work between the layers of your bed to warm it up before you settle in for the night, but it also makes for a great lap warmer.

There are 12 heating settings to give you more control over the temperature rather than the usual warm/medium/hot options. You can also choose up to 12 hours of use before it automatically shuts off to save on power and reduce fire hazards.

With a 100% polyester exterior, you can take the cover off for cleaning, and it’s machine washable.

📱 iPhone tariff: About 60% of Americans use an iPhone, so we’re talking big money. Trump just threatened a 25% tariff on iPhones not made in the U.S. He says Tim Cook’s too cozy with India and Apple’s been Asia-based for decades. Its factories are basically tech cities. Wall Street winced; Apple stock dipped 3.9%.

What OpenAI is charging the U.S. government to use its special ChatGPT Enterprise plan. Why? To cozy up to lawmakers and help the government work faster with AI. Oh, and Uncle Sam’s been generous, too. Back in June, OpenAI landed a defense contract worth up to $200 million. Pretty sweet trade.

2.4 billion

That’s how many times people visited Zillow in just three months. Why? Because daydreaming is cheaper than buying. Only 4 million homes were actually sold last year, but that didn’t stop everyone and their mom from house-hunting from the couch. Zillow’s not just a listing site; it’s the new social media, where “cozy” means claustrophobic and “as-is” means “run.” When it comes to board games about buying real estate, Hasbro really has the Monopoly.
