Although, that being said, on the model we tested we did find the detachable plug very difficult to detach – not a problem if you're happy to leave the cable in place though.

You can tailor the warmth levels further thanks to dual controls on the double, king, and super king blanket sizes. This is obviously significantly cheaper than having your central heating on all night, and for the average 70W or 80W blanket, you’re looking at even less.
