Lidl launches 'cosy' heated blanket that costs 2p per hour to run

Lidl is selling a £22.99 heated blanket that is said to cost 2p per hour to run.

With the cost of living crisis affecting how often we choose to put the heating on, many shoppers are looking for cheaper, cosier alternatives. Products such as hot water bottles, plug in heaters and Oodies have proven extremely popular in the past few months, offering warmth for a fraction of the price.

According to the retail giant, the Silvercrest Heated Underblanket costs 2p per hour to run (16p for the whole night) compared with a 24KW boiler costing £22.08 (based on eight hours sleep.)

The blanket comes with six heat settings, and features an extra-warm foot zone for those who suffer with cold feet during the winter months. It comes as part of an electric heating range coming to Lidl stores, which also includes the Sanitas Back & Neck Heat Pad priced at £17.99.

This particular product is described as 'the perfect option' for shoppers looking to keep warm when they're not in bed. It's made of 'breathable' upper material, and includes six heat settings. Shoppers can pick up the cosy blanket for just £22.99 in stores nationwide from January 5. Find your nearest Lidl store here.
