Lidl slashes price on weighted blanket that 'feels like a hug'

Lidl is now selling a weighted blanket that has had rave reviews online, and for £20 less than the recommended retail price.

The budget retailer's middle aisle is notorious for its non-food offers, with limited edition items appearing there and often selling out quickly. And as Lidl says, when it's gone, it's gone.

Lidl is currently selling a Silentnight 6.8kg weighted blanket for £39.99, while the RRP is £60.

The blanket has racked up plenty of five star reviews on the Silentnight website. One happy customer said: "I was so impressed with this purchase. I bought it for my 23yr old son for Christmas and he loves it.

"I was undecided whether to go for the 9kg one or this one. After feeling this, I think the 9kg might have been too heavy, this one is plenty heavy enough. I have to say I am tempted to buy one for myself now!"

Another said: "I got one after borrowing my husband's and my sleep is so so much better. I sleep solidly most of the time and I am a very bad sleeper normally. It is a total comfort. My daughter has now asked for one!", and a third said: "Great price for a great product. Not too hot but keeps you very cosy and snug. Highly recommend."

A fourth added: "The weighted blanket is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I can now sleep soundly and am enjoying the benefits of undisturbed sleep.

"Even during hot weather the blanket keeps me cool and comfortable. It’s really easy to wash in the washing machine, no need for launderettes, and it line dries quickly, too."
