Electric blanket vs heated throw - what's the difference and which one do you need?

Composite of an electric blanket and heated throw.

Electric blankets and heated throws are easy, cosy, and energy-efficient ways to stay warm over the winter, but what is the difference between the two? And how do you know which one to buy?

If you want the short answer, electric blankets go on your bed and heated throws go on the sofa.

Heated throws are like any other throw that you would snuggle up under, but they have a heated wire running through them.
