This plush bubble fleece heated throw has nine heat settings and a programmable timer, making it an autumn home buy I’m eyeing
There’s something about the start of autumn that makes me want to make home feel as cosy as possible. The evenings get darker, the temperature starts to drop and suddenly curling up on the sofa with a blanket feels like a much better plan than going anywhere.
That’s why this Bubble Fleece Electric Heated Throw £70 from Very has caught my attention. It’s the kind of home buy I can see getting plenty of use once the autumn chill properly sets in.
The Carmen throw has a super-plush bubble fleece finish, designed to feel soft and cosy while you’re curled up on the sofa. It also has a soft flannel fleece reverse, giving it a slightly different texture on the other side.
But this isn't just a normal throw. It has built-in electric heating, so you can add some extra warmth when the temperature drops. The throw has nine adjustable heat settings, giving you plenty of choice depending on how chilly you’re feeling.
I like the idea of having something like this ready for those evenings when I don't necessarily want to heat the whole room but still want to feel warm and comfortable on the sofa. Heated throws are designed to warm the person using them rather than the entire room, and recent testing from The Independent found heated throws can cost just a few pence an hour to run, depending on the model and energy tariff.
The Carmen fleece also has a programmable timer that can be set between one and nine hours, alongside overheat protection. The controller and cable can be detached too, allowing the throw to be machine washed, which is a practical feature for something that’s likely to become a regular part of your autumn and winter routine.
It sits towards the pricier end of the heated throw market, but the plush bubble fleece finish makes it feel more like a cosy home accessory than a purely practical electric blanket. It’s the sort of thing I’d happily leave folded over the sofa ready for those colder evenings.
I’m already imagining the autumn setup: comfy pyjamas, something good on the TV, a hot drink and this wrapped around me. Sometimes making home feel a little more inviting is exactly what you need when the evenings start getting shorter.
The Carmen Bubble Fleece Electric Over Heated Throw is currently £70 at Very.
