The Deyongs Mushrooms Wine Heated Sherpa Throw Blanket is available at Yimbly for £58.50, down from £130, after applying the discount code AUTUMN10. The offer undercuts prices at both Amazon and Debenhams.
The electric blanket measures 140 x 180cm and features a 220gsm fleece face with a 200gsm sherpa reverse, which the brand says offers 'cloud-like comfort and warmth'. It has ten heat levels and an automatic shut-off feature for safety.
Care and maintenance
The controller can be removed, allowing the blanket to be washed in a machine and tumble dried. The autumn-inspired print of mushrooms, flowers and foliage sits on a deep wine-red background.
Alternatives include the Silentnight Heat Genie Self Heating Blanket at Amazon, from £34.99, which uses a foil layer to reflect body heat and costs nothing to run after purchase. The StaySnug Mocha Velvety Heated Throw at Lakeland is £44.99 and costs an average of 26p a day to run, with nine heat settings.
Shopper reviews
One reviewer at Yimbly said: "What a great and very snuggly electric over blanket. It was bought for someone who is bedbound and is ideal as he gets cold very quickly. It can be left on for various times and has an automatic cut-off, so if you leave it on, you don’t need to worry."
Another shopper at Debenhams wrote: "It’s large for your body, super soft and really toasty. Its settings system is really good ten settings and a timer, very good quality, highly recommend."
One three-star review noted: "Heat fine and thickness of blanket nice. A bit smaller than I envisaged (even though I knew the measurements). The plug for the blanket is a bit chunky. Happy at price I bought it (sale price). It's fine, but I would not buy again."
Another consumer said: "Blanket is ideal for my daughter at university. Late nights doing course work. The heating goes off, perfect to keep her warm. Excellent buy with variable heat settings. Perfect."
