As energy prices rise following the October price cap increase, Dunelm's Teddy Electric Blanket provides an affordable way to stay warm, costing between £35 and £50 depending on size. The blanket, available in single (£35), double (£40), kingsize (£45), and super kingsize (£50), is made from 100% polyester with a soft teddy bear texture.
With a 70W power output, the blanket is cheaper to run than central heating. USwitch estimates a 90W blanket costs around 18p per night and £67.61 annually, offering significant savings. The blanket has received a 4.6 out of 5 star rating on Dunelm's website, with customers praising its warmth and cost-effectiveness.
One customer said: 'Warm and cosy, great fit for a double bed, much cheaper than having the heating on.' Another added: 'Bought this for my parents... they say it's soft and keeps them warm through the night.' However, some noted minor issues with the controller placement and display clarity.
Alternative options include Dreams' Luxury Comfort Heated Blanket at £17 for a king-size bed, and Argos' Silentnight Comfort Control Electric Underblanket from £35. Both offer similar features for budget-conscious shoppers.
