Dunelm is selling the Henry Highland Cow Draught Excluder for £16, and shoppers have praised it for fulfilling an important function while being fun and attractive. The animal-themed accessory is designed to help conserve heat in homes and reduce heating costs as temperatures drop.
The excluder features a playful highland cow character that adds flair to any room, according to the retailer. It is crafted from robust materials and generously filled with polyester fibres, ensuring it stays securely in place. The soft textured exterior helps effectively seal draughts and trap heat, making it suitable for both doorways and windows.
Shopper reviews highlight charm and practicality
Customer reviews on the Dunelm website have been largely positive. One shopper said: "Very cute. Will make a nice gift for draughty houses. Soft and chunky enough for big gaps under doors."
A second reviewer wrote: "This draught excluder not only fulfils an important function, it is fun and attractive, too. Very happy to have this in the house." A third added: "Every year we give the dogs a new draught excluder from Dunelm to keep their 'bedroom' cosy on winter nights. Henry Highland Cow is this year's present. All the draught excluders become toys as well and are much loved!"
Some shoppers offered more critical feedback. One noted: "It's a quirky draught excluder; however, it was too long to fit in the doorway. The dog loves lying on it though!" Another commented: "Not heavy/dense enough to function as an effective draught excluder, but he is very cute, so I forgive him."
