The heated wires within the throw are barely noticeable and they’re very thin and bendy so they don’t feel cumbersome. The Relaxwell heated throw comes in a clear plastic storage bag and has an easy-to-read instruction manual. Even without guidance, it’s pretty straightforward to plug in and get going with it. It feels just like a normal plush throw, super snuggly, and the heat-up wires within are barely noticeable. In terms of energy efficiency, the brand says it costs from 1p an hour to run, making it a cheaper alternative to turning the heating on. Dreamland's best-selling throw offers the ultimate in luxury, perfect for relaxing on the sofa while being cocooned in warmth under the heated throw. It's great for taking the chill away, providing comfort when you're feeling under the weather, or simply in need of some warmth and relaxation. This versatile throw is ideal as a gift and a must-have addition to any student's essentials for university. It's perfect for snuggling under while studying or unwinding. According to the manufacturer Dreamland Relaxwell Luxury Heated Throw uses 150 watts. 150 watts is pretty much an average for a heated throw. This would be on the highest setting i.e for the fast heat up function or on number 5. The fast heat up function allows the throw to heat up in just 5 minutes. I always use the fast heat function to for the first 5 minutes to get the throw warm, then switch to heat setting 3. On very cold days I use the heat setting 4 or 5. The lower the heat setting the less energy this throw will use. I’m guessing on setting number 3 it would use about half of the maximum the energy it consumes. This would be about 70 watts on heat level 3. Are Dreamland blankets cheap to run?One of the stand-out factors of the Relaxwell throw is the cosy velvety, plush material. Even without the heat turned on this is a warming blanket. Unfortunately it's not made from sustainable material, it's 100% polyester, but we feel its energy-efficient properties and durability make it an item you can cherish for a long time. Aesthetically, it has a discreet, inoffensive style and the range of colours Dreamland offer means you can at least tie it in with your decor scheme. It’s a tad heavier than your average plush throw but if anything this makes it feel cosier and warmer.
