Back in the day when bedrooms were always cold in winter, many homes had a secret weapon ready to bring out when the temperatures plummeted. It was the electric blanket. Now with energy prices hitting all time highs, householders are turning once again to the go to product of our grandparents.
One recent purchaser of a £25 Argos under blanket which claims to run from just 1p per night, said: "Excellent alternative to putting the heating on". In an online review, they said: "I'm really glad I purchased this because I'll never have to get in bed and feel cold sheets again."
They continued: "On the lowest setting it just takes the chill off and makes you feel nice and cosy. It doesn't cover the entire surface of the bed and I would like it to be slightly longer so that the control was higher up and fully under the pillow but it is on the side so I don't lie on it. The straps mean that it fits securely to the bed under the sheet and there is no movement."
