Tesco shoppers snap up 'magic' item that keeps you warm without using energy

Households looking to lower their bills have been rushing to Tesco to snap up an energy-saving product that costs absolutely nothing to run.

Given the cost of living crisis, many have been switching to electric blankets and heated throws to cut back on their energy bills. While these energy-saving items have no doubt been a massive help in helping stretch many households budget recently, they do still use energy to run.

That could be why the latest item that shoppers have been rushing to get is a Silent Night self-heating mattress topper from Tesco that offers a cheaper alternative to the electric blanket.

The Silent Night Heat Genie Mattress Topper comes with unique heat reflecting foil that directs body heat back to the user, which means that you can be kept cosy and warm at night with no need for electricity.

It also comes complete with a thermal lining and deeply filled quilted top layer that adds up to an extra 8.5 tog of extra warmth to your bed to keep you nice and cosy.

The mattress topper is currently available in a single size online with Clubcard members able to snap it up for just £20. The king and double size don't look to be available online, but it is worth checking your local store for availability.

According to Silent Night, the cost for running an electric blanket costs around 1p per hour, which means it would only cost £12 a year if it was used for one hour every night for a year.

While it is certainly cheaper than having the heating on, the self-heating mattress topper poses a much cheaper alternative that won't have you worrying about the next bill.

And you don't just have to take our word for it, as other shoppers have been raving over the blanket after the deal was shared to the Money Saver by Dansway Facebook Group.

One said: "What is this magic?"

Another, tagging their friend, said: "I literally just spotted this. I NEED."

A third shopper was full of praise, saying: "Best thing I ever bought. Lovely and warm."

The Silent Night Heat Genie Mattress Topper is available at Tesco stores now. Check with your local store for stock availability.
