Sleeping with an electric heating blanket will change your life. That is, of course, if you tend to feel cold throughout the night. If you run hot, however, your partner’s electric blanket might just be the worst thing to ever happen to your relationship. Luckily, one of the best electric blankets we’ve ever tested—the one we named “Best Dual Control”—has two adjustable settings that make it possible for hot and cold sleepers to co-exist. And apparently, it’s saving relationships.
The Beautyrest Dual-Control Electric Heated Blanket comes with two remote controls, 20 flexible heat settings, and thankfully, is now on sale just in time for the cooler weather.

The queen size, which is now on sale, measures 90 x 84 inches. Yet, it distributes the heat so evenly, there aren’t any pockets of cold. Not only does the blanket heat evenly, but we also found that it warmed up pretty quickly, too—within minutes, if not seconds. And as an added safety precaution, the blanket even has an automatic shut-off switch that turns it off after 10 hours.
“This blanket is incredibly soft, and the heat distributes [perfectly],” one five-star reviewer said. “I love that there are duo remotes, which is perfect for my husband and I. No more fighting for the blanket (well, I still steal his half).”

The blanket is made from lightweight, plush polyester, and though the wires are visible throughout while it’s spread out on the bed, you won’t feel anything heavy, bulky, or stiff once you’re underneath. All you’ll feel is cozy—but only if you want to. If you (or your partner) don’t want to crank up the heat, just leave that side of the blanket turned off.
“I love that I can turn it up all the way while my husband can turn his off completely,” another shopper said. “I don't worry about waking up in the middle of the night with it still on or trying to turn it on but staying awake long enough to shut it off.” A third commenter said, “My husband doesn’t like it as hot as I do, so the multi-sided controls [are] just perfect.”
Someone else wrote, “I bought this blanket to layer on my bed to help take the chill off on cold nights. It works great, especially with the different timer settings.” They continued, “I like the thickness of the blanket, so it’s not too warm when I don’t want it on. My husband likes the second remote and the different temperature settings since he doesn’t like it too warm. So far, this is working great for us!”
“I don’t use the heat on my side, and my wife can be as warm as she likes,” a five-star reviewer wrote. Someone else called it a “marriage saver,” and wrote that their “wife is always cold and I’m constantly hot. I can only use it on [the] number one setting for the coldest of nights. She keeps her side on seven. Very soft, and having two controllers basically saved me from sleeping on the sofa.”
After testing the blanket for more than three months, it held up well. Despite being conveniently machine washable, we didn’t notice any loose threads, holes, pilling, or snags, and it also stayed super soft even after all that washing.
If you’re a hot sleeper who’s married to a cold sleeper—or vice versa—you need this “marriage saver” of a blanket that allows each person to rest comfortably (and at whatever temperature they prefer).
