Overview

• Following Ofgem’s October price cap rise and a turn to colder weather, households are opting for targeted warming products instead of heating whole homes.
• Silentnight’s Heat Genie Self‑Heating Giant Blanket has been restocked in new autumn colours at £34.99, using a heat‑reflective layer to add warmth without electricity and coming in a large 180cm x 240cm size.
• Dunelm’s Teddy Electric Throw remains a top seller and can be reduced by about £15 via a TopCashback offer for new members, with shoppers citing softness and ease of use alongside some reports of limited heat output or faults.
• Retailers promote low running‑cost claims on electric throws, including The Range’s £44.99 single heated throw (advertised at around 2p per hour) and Yimbly’s Livivo throw discounted to £35.99 with code AUTUMN10 (advertised at around 3p per hour), while Silentnight’s Luxury Super Cosy Heated Throw is listed at £59.99 with a 1p‑per‑hour claim.
• Safety features such as auto shut‑off, overheat protection and machine‑washable designs are widely highlighted, with guidance to unplug unless rated for overnight use and to avoid pairing with hot water bottles or certain mattresses.
