Winter has well and truly set in, as temperatures have noticeably dropped in recent weeks. But if you’re looking for extra ways to stay warm, Debenhams has you covered – by slashing £75 off this “beautiful” heated blanket that is “perfect” for the cold days ahead.

For a limited time only, in Debenhams’ Black Friday sales, the Neo Waffle Shaped Electric Blanket Heated Fleece Overthrow has been reduced to 68% off, down from £109.99 to a mere £34.69.

And if this wasn’t saving enough, the snuggly blanket costs just 4p an hour to run, saving you from reaching for the thermostat and racking up costly heating bills, reports Devon Live.

The 160x130cm throw is made from a luxurious Sherpa fleece material for maximum comfort and softness, and claims to offer 20% more thickness than regular electric throws. It is currently available in two colourways – black and light grey – that will fit effortlessly into any home.

With a voltage of 220-240V, the blanket features nine heat settings, with an LED display so you can keep track of which heat setting has been selected, and is also complete with an auto shut-off timer for added safety, in case you forget to turn it off.

It also takes just minutes for the blanket to reach its maximum warmth thanks to the quick heat-up function, so you can immediately get cosy in cold weather.

And the throw’s heating controller is easily detachable, so you can pop your blanket in the washing machine to keep it nice and clean and fresh. It is also tumble-dryer safe, meaning you can get back to using it as soon as possible after washing the blanket.

So far, the Neo Electric Blanket has just one review on Debenhams – but it is from a woman who gave the blanket a perfect five-star rating, raving about how “beautiful” it is.

She wrote: “Absolutely fantastic heated throw, much better than the more expensive one I bought my Mom last year. Very fluffy and warm even before you switch it on, perfect size for lying under on the sofa.

“It’s that warm we’ve only had to switch it on a couple of times so far! We chose the blue and it’s beautiful, looks really expensive, will make a lovely gift. Perfect for an older relative for a bit of extra warmth this winter.”
