With the colder nights coming, an electric blanket is a must for those who like a toasty bed. With people looking at alternative ways to stay warm rather than turning on the heating, Google searches for electric blankets in October are at their highest level in five years.
The analysis of Google data by A-Plan Insurance also found that electric blankets have been searched more times this year than any other since 2004. And it’s not surprising. Electric blankets have a low purchase cost – usually under £50 – and a low running cost, reports Devon Live.
Research has shown that using an electric blanket for one hour a day, every day of the week for a year would cost £10.19. Many people turn their heating on even when they’re only using one room of their home.
