Why we love this deal

As fall gives way to winter, it's important to find ways to stay warm on the coldest days. While a cozy comforter set is the best approach at bedtime, you also want a way to keep warm while lounging in the living room. There's no better way to do this than with a heated throw blanket. Walmart is currently offering one of its bestselling electric throws at a great Flash deal price. This throw is a cozy dream, and if you don't want to wake up to disappointment, we recommend buying one before the sale ends. 

The Marnur Faux Fur Electric Throw Blanket is on sale for only $40 right now, which is 43% off the original price of $70. This is a hot deal, and one that you could miss out on if you don't click the buy button ASAP.

Why do shoppers love it?

There are so many reasons to love this blanket, but we'll start with the most obvious. The incredibly soft faux fur design feels like heaven against the skin, according to buyers. What's more, the throw is fully reversible, with the backside covered in warm and cozy flannel. With two different looks and feels, this throw is like getting two separate blankets for the price of one. In fact, when you consider the heated aspect, it's almost like three blankets in one.

While you're perfectly welcome to use this throw without plugging it in at all, it truly shines when you turn up the heat. It includes six different heating levels and a four-hour timer as well. The automatic shutoff is a nice safety feature for those who may find themselves dozing off under the warm cover of this throw. It also has an overheating protection feature, automatically shutting off should the blanket get too hot. A wired LED controller allows you to adjust the settings from the comfort of your sofa or armchair. 

While the controller is a convenient way to keep the throw at your preferred temperature, one may think that it would hinder washing of the blanket. Nothing could be further from the truth, as it can be completely removed, allowing you to easily machine wash the throw. At 60 inches long by 50 inches wide, you'll be glad you can toss this comfy blanket in the washing machine, as hand washing could be cumbersome. It's available in three different colors as well, so there's something for everyone.
