Electric Blankets Are Back And Better Than Ever

We know — electric blankets used to be less-than-great. But the '90s are long gone, people. So are clunky wires and the awkwardly bunched-up heated throws of yesteryear.

Today's electric blankets have thin and evenly dispersed wiring that's barely noticeable. Most of them are machine washable, too. Of course, as with anything that's plugged in, you need to read and follow the instructions so as not to create a fire hazard.

To help you stay warm this winter (and save on your heating bill), we've rounded up some of the best deals on electric blankets. They're cozy, cost-effective and surprisingly chic. Happy snuggles to all!
