To help avoid blasting that heating on 24/7, shoppers have been raving about a £25 electric blanket which many say is "much cheaper than using the heating." The energy-efficient blanket, which claims to cost from 1p a night to run, will not only keep you cosy at night thanks to its soft, cosy material, but it’ll also shed hundreds off your heating bill.
It boasts three 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.
The blanket comes in two sizes; small single (£20) and small double (£25), and easily fits onto your mattress thanks to its convenient corner straps. It’s machine washable too, so you can enjoy clean cosiness week after week. You don’t just have to take our word for it either as the bestselling blanket has received over 100 five-star reviews on Argos alone.
One recent purchaser who said the £25 Argos blanket is an "excellent alternative to putting the heating on," in their online review, added: "I'm really glad I purchased this because I'll never have to get in bed and feel cold sheets again."
They continued: "On the lowest setting it just takes the chill off and makes you feel nice and cosy. It doesn't cover the entire surface of the bed and I would like it to be slightly longer so that the control was higher up and fully under the pillow but it is on the side so I don't lie on it. The straps mean that it fits securely to the bed under the sheet and there is no movement."
A second shopper wrote: "So glad I’ve got this blanket! Used it a couple of times and even in the lowest setting it keeps me warm! Worth spending a couple of extra £’s on a decent blanket especially for when colder weather is back."
While a third said: "Had a cheeky test out the other night! Glorious! Will be a life saver if we have a chilly winter!"
The blanket also comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee, so if it breaks within that time, you'll be completely covered. So, if you're after a money-saving hack that'll shed hundreds off your heating bill this winter, we'd pop one of these blankets in your basket right now whilst they're still available.
