The Livivo Premium Sherpa Heated Throw is available for £36 at Yimbly after a £10 discount and an additional 10% off with the code AUTUMN10, making it cheaper than the same product on Amazon and Debenhams, where it is reduced from £49.99 to £39.99.
Originally retailing at £49.99, the throw has been cut to £39.99 for a limited period on Yimbly, an online marketplace operated by Reach Plc, the parent company of this site. Shoppers can apply the exclusive voucher code AUTUMN10 at checkout to bring the price down to £36.
Features and Running Costs
The Livivo Premium Sherpa Heated Throw includes plush sherpa lining, customisable heat settings and an automatic shut-off function. It offers 10 temperature settings ranging from 28 to 50°C.
While Yimbly estimates the throw costs as little as 4p per hour to operate, the Sust-it energy calculator suggests it is more economical, costing just 3p an hour based on electricity priced at the current energy price cap. The throw features a removable controller, allowing it to be safely cleaned in a washing machine, and a sleep-safe timer programmable from one to nine hours, with an automatic cut-off to prevent overheating.

Customer Feedback
While no reviews are currently available on Yimbly, the throw holds a 3.3 star rating on Amazon. One customer remarked: "Bought as a Christmas gift for my teenage daughter and she loves it! She has to turn it off after about an hour as she gets too hot as it warms up very quickly."
Another reviewer, Paul, noted: "Nice warm heated throw, easy to use, doesn't seem to have a noticeable impact on the electric bill. Ample size, good thick quality fleece."
In an extensive review, Chris wrote: "I'm really pleased with this LIVIVO electric blanket and would definitely recommend it. It's lovely to get into a nice warm bed, especially now the colder evenings are setting in. The blanket is comfortable to lie on and does a great job of keeping the bed warm and cosy."
However, one dissatisfied shopper noted: "Lovely soft blanket with great heat but it stopped working after about a week with the control making a rattling sound which I'm guessing something popped inside. Got a full refund."
JC contributed: "This throw/blanket is just about big enough for two people to use on the sofa, or one person to completely snuggle in an armchair. It is very soft, the material is reasonable lightweight. But you do feel the heating elements, so it's not unnoticed."
