As the weather is only turning colder and colder, and energy prices are going up, many of us are trying to find cheaper alternatives to stay warm and comfortable.

One Argos product, which costs £45, has shoppers raving about it due to its low energy consumption. The energy-efficient electric blanket, will not only keep you cosy at night thanks to its soft, cosy material, but it could also see you save money on your heating bill.

It has four heat settings, so you can choose the perfect temperature for you and even features overheat protection for total peace of mind. However, experts do recommend turning off the appliance before falling asleep to regulate your core temperature.

There's a timer, and fast setting claims to "have your bed warm in only 5 minutes, it's energy saving and costing only 1p to run per night". The product has clearly won customers over, with dozens of 5 star reviews on the Argos website.
