UK Shoppers Snap Up Discounted Electric Blankets and Cosy Bedding as Temperatures Drop

Brands tout pennies-per-hour running costs plus safety timers to woo cost-conscious households.

Overview

  • Yimbly’s Livivo heated throw is £39.99 and drops to £35.99 with code AUTUMN10 through November, with a 3p-per-hour running claim, nine heat settings, a 1–9 hour timer and machine‑washable design.
  • Dunelm’s Cosy & Warm Electric Blanket costs £22–£34, with running claims of 1p per hour for single and 2p for double, elastic straps for fit and guidance that it is not suitable with memory-foam toppers; some reviewers note smaller coverage.
  • Silentnight’s Comfort Control electric underblanket on Amazon is £35.45 in double with three heat settings, overheat protection and a 1p-per-hour heating claim, and has sold over 8,000 units in the past month.
  • Shoppers weigh alternatives including Dunelm’s £40 Teddy Electric Throw, Lakeland’s £59.99 StaySnug heated throw and a £49.99 Russell Hobbs model at Amazon, with most reviews praising warmth and value but some citing weaker heat or build concerns.
  • Seasonal bedding is selling strongly at Dunelm, from the highly rated Billie duvet set to new cable fleece designs, with cashback hacks via TopCashback pushing some sets effectively under £1 for new users.
