Get cosy with this guide to the best heated blankets, mattress toppers and throws.
It’s that time of year again. With the nights drawing in and the weather growing colder, there’s only one thing that’s guaranteed to lift our spirits: getting cosy.
From fluffy blanket hoodies to cosy hot water bottles, there are plenty of ways to nestle down as we head into the colder months. But one of our favourite and most functional ways to keep warm happens to be one of the most traditional – the humble electric blanket.
Forget the days when electric blankets were deemed unsafe or old-fashioned; nowadays, many people are turning to electric blankets as an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to stay warm as the mercury drops.
