With the recent increase in gas and electricity prices in the UK due to the new energy price cap, consumers are looking for cost-effective ways to stay warm without breaking the bank. Thankfully, there are affordable options available, such as the Teddy Electric Blanket offered by Dunelm for £35-£50, which is touted as a more economical alternative to using traditional heating methods.
The Teddy Electric Blanket comes in various sizes to fit different bed dimensions – single (£35), double (£40), kingsize (£45), and super kingsize (£50). Made from 100% polyester, this blanket features a plush ‘soft teddy bear texture’ that provides a cozy and warm experience.
Ideal for the colder seasons, this blanket consumes 70W of power, making it more cost-effective compared to running central heating. According to USwitch, running a 90W electric blanket can cost around 18p per night and £67.61 annually, offering significant savings to consumers.
For those seeking a budget-friendly option, Dreams offers the Dreams Luxury Comfort Heated Blanket for £17, suitable for king-sized beds. This blanket includes three heat settings, a soft touch polyester cover, and is machine washable at 40 degrees.
Argos also provides the Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Underblanket in single (£35), double (£40), and king size (£45) options. This underblanket, made from polyester, features three heat settings and heats up quickly in just 10 minutes.
The Teddy Electric Blanket from Dunelm has received positive reviews, with customers praising its warmth and cost-effectiveness. Some users mentioned minor issues with controller placement and display clarity but overall found the blankets to be a valuable purchase.
In conclusion, these electric blankets offer an affordable and efficient way to stay warm during the colder months, providing comfort and savings on energy bills.
