The deal is exclusive to Amazon Prime members and includes free shipping and returns.
Available in Light Grey, the 50-inch by 60-inch blanket features 200gsm flannel and 200gsm sherpa, making it ultra-soft and warm even before it’s switched on.
Shoppers can also choose from multiple colors like Navy Blue, Ruby Red, Beige, Purple, and Black, with prices slightly varying depending on the shade.
The blanket is designed with 10 heat settings and an auto shut-off function that lets users set a timer for 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours.
Its temperature range spans from 86°F to 122°F, giving users plenty of control for personalized comfort.
The brand says its intelligent temperature adjustment technology ensures the throw stays consistently warm without wasting energy.
According to Homemate, the heating wire is made by a Japanese manufacturer known for strong insulation and flame resistance.
The blanket also boasts ETL certification and has passed the American UL964 safety test, offering lower electromagnetic radiation for added peace of mind.
Its 2.2mm heating wire is thin enough that users “hardly feel it,” according to the product description, helping maintain a plush feel.
A 9.5-foot power cord makes it flexible to use across different areas of the home – from the couch to the bed or even the office.
The company claims the larger heating area allows for more even warmth compared to other electric throws.
Amazon lists the blanket in several sizes, including 62×84, 72×84, and 100×90 inches, though the $29.99 deal applies to the standard throw size.
While it’s ideal for snuggling indoors, experts say there are other simple ways to keep homes warm and bills low this winter.
Experts warn that keeping the heat running all day is a costly mistake; it’s better to turn it on only when needed, according to EDF Energy.

They recommend using a timer or programmable thermostat to ensure warmth when you’re home without wasting energy while you’re out.
Turning the thermostat higher won’t speed up heating, specialists add, it simply keeps the boiler running longer and racks up bills.
Simple draught-proofing tricks can also help lock in warmth, like rolling up a towel to block gaps under doors or covering letterboxes.
Homeowners should also close vents and doors in unused rooms to avoid wasting heat and keep their homes warmer for less.
