With energy bills on the rise, many households are thinking about ways to keep costs down during the gruesome winter.
To help avoid blasting that heating on 24/7, shoppers have been raving about a £30 electric blanket which many say is “much cheaper than using the heating.”
The energy-efficient blanket, which costs from 1p a night to run, will not only keep you cosy at night thanks to its soft fleece 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 an 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 three sizes; single (£30), double (£34.99) and king (£39.99), and easily fits onto your mattress thanks to new and improved easy fit 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 20,000 five-star reviews on Amazon alone.
One shopper who checked on her smart meter said: “Checked on the smart meter & running on setting 1, 24/7 would work out around 20p/month - since I don't plan on never turning it off, 12 hrs use every day would set me back 10p a month which is far cheaper than whacking the heating on across the whole house!”
A second customer wrote: “Having used a basic electric blanket for years, this electric blanket is amazing. Fits the bed fully. Setting 1 is ideal if you need to leave on all night & very cost effective. Setting 3 is amazingly warm, and it heats up fast. Definitely recommended to all.”
While a third said: “I turned on the level 1 during winter nights and it did not raise my electricity bill!”
According to sleep experts at sleepypeople.com, the popular Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket has become one of their bestsellers onsite, and since its launch, over 5 million blankets have been sold - so what are you waiting for?
