Dunelm shoppers are turning to the Teddy Electric Throw, now reduced to £25.60, as a cheaper alternative to central heating during colder months. The throw, available in teddy charcoal and teddy cream, has a 4.4 out of 5 rating from product reviews and costs approximately 3p per hour to run.
Features and Design
Made from 100% polyester with a soft teddy bear texture, the throw includes adjustable heat settings, a 278cm cable, and is machine washable. The product description on Dunelm's website highlights its plush texture, adjustable warmth, and easy maintenance, calling it "perfect for any chilly evening."
Shopper Reviews
Positive reviews praise the throw's quick heating and comfort. One shopper said: "Lovely blanket, warms quickly, nice and soft can't feel the wires, ideal for when home working." Another noted: "I did a lot of research in to these. This is the best I found. Can hardly feel the wires so its really comfortable."
A third reviewer mentioned: "Bought throw to save putting heating on when on my own in the house. Heats up quickly, only used on low setting as it gets really hot." A fourth added: "How did I live without it?! Warm, soft & cosy. Best heated blanket I've seen."
Alternatives and Drawbacks
One negative review flagged material shedding: "Very cosy but the fleece is losing fluff, loads of it, it's shedding green fluff!! Really disappointed with the fabric quality." For those seeking alternatives, Dunelm also offers the Paoletti Empress Throw at £40-£55 in eight colours, while M&S sells a Fleece Ribbed Throw from £20-£40 in four shades.
