As households continue to grapple with the cost of living crisis, many have turned to purchasing energy-efficient appliances to help them keep their bills low.
With bills rising faster, electric blankets have seen a stark rise in popularity with many wanting to keep themselves warm this winter without racking up the heating costs. The Black Friday sales will be a good place to start for energy-saving blankets that won't break the bank.
It's good news then that Amazon's massive early Black Friday sale includes the price of a bestselling single Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket for less than £40.
Originally priced at £60, it has been slashed to just £34.98 - saving shoppers a whopping 42% with the purchase.
The blanket is said to help you keep your bills low by costing just 1p a night to run, meaning it is perfect to use while heating bills are still high.
Made with a super snuggly fleece material that will keep you extra warm during the winter nights, the Silent Night electric blanket comes with an easy to use ultra-fast heat up feature, three heat settings and an overheat protection for peace of mind.
The deal is currently available on the single size only, but shoppers can also pick up a king size for just £41.38, while the double size version currently costs just £40.
With the cost of living crisis forcing many shoppers to "heat the person, not the home", it is understandable why the blanket has currently racked up thousands of five star reviews from impressed shoppers, with many saying it is "cheaper" than popping on the central heating.
One impressed reviewer wrote: "Bought to try and save money on energy bills. So much cheaper than putting on the heating and perfect for taking the chill off the cold nights. Very comfy and works well with the adjustable thermostat. And the cord is long enough that it will plug in on either side of the bed."
A second read: "Almost indiscernible when on the bed. Material is soft and warm. Controls easy to use with 3 heat settings, 3 is great for a quick warm up of the bed. Cheap to run. Nice even warmth across the bed."
A third happy customer who purchased the blanket wrote: "Cheaper than heating. Game changer. I use mine with a smart plug and have it come on/off at varying points during the night. Only issue is it's now hard to get out of bed in the morning…"
A fourth reviewer said: "Kids love these. Plus I don't need to put the heating on yet."
The Silentnight Single Comfort Control Electric Blanket is currently priced at £34.98 in the Amazon Black Friday 2022 sale.
