Let’s face it, January is a pretty bleak month. Many of us are back to work after the festive break, bank balances may be lower than normal due to too much Christmas shopping, and the weather, well… It's not great.
With the cost of living crisis still affecting millions of people across the country, many households are looking for cost effective ways to heat their homes for less this winter. Luckily, we’ve spotted this electric blanket from Amazon which shoppers are loving - and it’ll set you back just £30.
The Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Blanket is made from super snuggly fleece material to keep you extra warm and cosy during those cold winter months. It boasts three heat settings, and overheat protection and costs from just 1p a night to run - so it’s much cheaper than blasting the heating.
It’s available in three sizes; single (£30), double (£63.90), and king (£73.80) - so you can find the perfect size to fit your mattress.
Thanks to the new and improved easy fit straps, you can attach the blanket to your mattress in a matter of seconds - and they’ll keep it nice and secure too, so you can keep it on there all night long, without worrying about it coming off.

After it’s attached to your mattress, simply plug it in, choose your setting and wait a few minutes for it to heat up before jumping into a nice warm bed.
Thanks to the overheat protection, you can keep it on all night long without worrying about it getting too hot, and it’s machine washable too for clean cosiness week after week.
It’s safe to say the £30 blanket is a big hit with shoppers, amassing over 22,000 five star reviews on Amazon alone.
One shopper, calling it "faultless" said: “With the recent very harsh cold snap I decided to treat myself to an electric blanket to warm the bed for me getting in. I can’t find fault with this electric blanket, I used to like my bed but I realised getting into a warm bed really is a treat and I look forward to getting in now. It’s easy to fit, you can’t feel the heating elements under you and I’ve not noticed any hike in electricity usage since purchasing.”
While a second customer raved, and said: “With raising energy costs we have restricted the central heating in our house so this is a real bonus.Very cheap to run and we switch it on 30 minutes before going to bed and then switch it off as we get into bed. The results are life changing, especially in winter time."
If you’re looking for a way to keep warm without racking up a pricey bill, this electric blanket is the way forward.
