This Heated Blanket Cuts Your Energy Bills While Looking Like Boutique Decor From Pottery Barn

I’ve always been a fan of tech that blends seamlessly into everyday use. When smart speakers were first introduced, they weren’t designed to look like everyday Bluetooth speakers – instead, they had slender designs and fabric clads, made to blend into the home where they’d be permanently on display. Technology should serve its purpose, but it should also integrate into our lives in a meaningful way – close your eyes and think of an electric blanket – chances are, they never really focused on the ‘design’ part. The electric blankets you see online are all covered in boring grey or beige fabric, doing the bare minimum to look aesthetic. That’s where the BOHEM changes things.

BOHEM, developed by Amsterdam-based Groenland Sustainable Living, is perhaps the first heated blanket that doesn’t scream “utility.” It’s visually designed to blend seamlessly into your living space. Think hand-knitted textures, earth-toned palettes like Red Earth and White Clay, and knotted fringes that feel more boutique than bedside. The subtlety extends even to its controls: a soft taupe hand-sized remote and a linen-clad cord, deliberately styled to avoid clashing with your living room aesthetic. It doesn’t just sit on your couch—it belongs there.

BOHEM makes a pretty unique observation that sounds fairly relatable given how expensive energy bills have gotten in the past year. Instead of heating up an entire room, doesn’t it just make more sense to heat the human? A heated blanket requires a mere fraction of the energy a thermostat does, and the best part is that it’s faster and portable. You want to shift from the living room to the bedroom? Just move with the blanket rather than having your thermostat heat up both rooms for you.

Measuring 180 by 130 centimeters (5.9 feet by 4.2 feet), BOHEM covers you from head to toe—or comfortably cocoons two people. The entire surface warms evenly, powered by embedded copper coil technology that’s been proven safe and reliable in everything from car seats to therapeutic heating pads. And while battery-powered blankets often limit heating zones or take forever to get going, BOHEM draws consistent energy straight from the wall, hitting ideal temperatures in just minutes. No charging, no fiddling, no waiting.

Its nine heat levels give you fine-tuned warmth without overdoing it, and its timer allows you to choose from one to nine hours before it shuts off automatically. There’s even overheating protection built-in, which lets you drift off without the underlying anxiety of forgotten electronics. This kind of ‘switch it on and live your life’ nuance shows up in other details too, like the 240 cm power cord that thoughtfully accommodates real-life furniture arrangements.

Does an electric blanket really undercut a thermostat’s energy consumption by that much? Well, the tests do tend to show that the BOHEM works at a fraction of a heater’s power. Running on just 160 watts, it uses nearly 1/10th of the energy a 1500W or 2000W room heater, or about as much as a laptop charger. If you live alone or share an apartment with a partner, an electric blanket makes a whole lot more sense than cranking up the thermostat or heater.

Each BOHEM comes crafted from knitted acrylic yarn (rather than standard microfleece), which looks good, feels woolly, and lasts longer. The best part? You can wash it too. Unplug the controller, toss it into a gentle machine cycle or hand wash at 30°C, and air-dry. No dry-cleaning bills. No convoluted care guides. Just a blanket that does its job and looks good doing it.

BOHEM blankets start at €79 ($86 USD) and come in 2 colors – a subtle white clay, and a gorgeous red earth, both of which blend beautifully into most decors. Plus the weave and tassels make it a perfect throw for your sofa even if you don’t use the heating function, so you never really need to pack your BOHEM away during the summers. The blankets ship to European countries (because of its 220V specification) with free shipping within the Netherlands, and a 2-year guarantee.
