After the brutal rain we have faced over the past couple of days, it is safe to say that winter is coming. There’s nothing worse than being at home cold and being unable to turn on the central heating

Luckily, we found a cost-effective solution that will keep you warm over the winter months – and it’s now on sale with Amazon’s massive Prime Day sale. Amazon’s Slumberdown Comfy Hugs Heated Throw Blanket will help you personalise the right level of warmth for your body as it boasts ten heating settings.

With this throw, you can heat yourself and not your home, keeping your energy bills down – It is also equipped with an hourly timer so it will automatically turn off and not over-run.

The best part is that it costs just 3p per hour to run at the highest heat setting. According to the retailer, “The material is super soft to the touch and kind to the skin, giving you a soothing experience. “

One happy customer shared: “I bought this as a Christmas present. Initially the warmth was less than expected apparently, but the more it was used, the better it got. A very welcome present. I have been asked whether the flex comes off and I initially thought it didn’t but it comes come away from the fitting that is fixed to the blanket so the blanket can be washed at 40 degrees.”

Another added: “Easy to use doesn’t have electrical faults like others here and stays warm even after being switched off for quite some time so cost effective.” A third said: “My sofa, keeps me warm and toasty in cold weather.”

However, one unsatisfied person commented: “I had to return it as it did not warm up and they did not have a replacement in stock which is a shame as it was so soft and cosy. Buttons are easy to press and red numbers on screen easy to see.”
