Performance score
We measure how long it takes the blanket to pre-heat to its maximum temperature. The shorter the time, the better the score. We also collect general data, measure energy use, check for correct labelling, and take thermal images to see how well the blankets distribute heat. We put the controllers and cord through durability tests, then perform leakage current tests to check for damage.

Maximum temperature achieved (°C)
The temperature recorded is that of the blanket's heating element. The temperature of the material, say, on the corner of the blanket, could be lower.

Shop Ethical rating
Shop Ethical rates the environmental and social impact of the company (not the product) using independent sources. This rating is not included in our total score. The rating ranks from A (highest) to F (lowest); N/A means there is no rating for that company.
Ease of use score
We assess how easy it is to use and understand the controls, how ease it is to clean and whether the blanket can be machine washed, spot cleaned or washed by hand. We also assess the overall cord length and reach of the controller.
