Shoppers rush to buy ‘best blanket ever’ at half-price and it’ll help you ‘sleep like a baby’ on cold nights
SHOPPERS are rushing to get their hands on the “best ever blanket” which is perfect for getting you through the cold winter.
The Brentfords Teddy Fleece Weighted Blanket is currently on sale for £12 instead of £24.
The Online Home shop has launched a January sale and all of the Brentfords weighted blanket prices have been slashed in half.
The weighted blanket is made with a teddy fleece outer layer which is sure to keep you warm and cosy all night.
If you are particularly active in your sleep you can go for a heavier weight like the 6kg or even 8kg for a calmer and deep sleep.
The weighted blanket has a near five-star rating online with dozens of shoppers leaving rave reviews.
One shopper said: “Absolutely love it, I bought the biggest and it’s fabulous.”
Another said: “I love these. I have two, I no longer sleep with my duvet since I purchased these.
A third shopper described it as: “Hug in a blanket.”
“Wow I sleep like a baby with this over me,” claimed a fourth shopper
The colour and weight you choose will determine the cost of these weighted blankets as the grey and pink blankets are slightly cheaper.
For the charcoal blanket prices start at £15 and go up to £25 for a 8kg weighted blanket.
It’s not likely you will find a weighted blanket similar to this one for such as low price.
In Argos, prices start at £40 and go up to a whopping £54.
In B&Q prices are a little more reasonable with smaller-size weighted blankets starting a £19.99 in price.
Amazon also sells weighted blankets for similar prices although the quality is not always guaranteed.
Bear in mind initial prices do not factor in a delivery charge.
Tips to stay warm this winter
There are plenty of other affordable ways you can stay warm this winter.
Get yourself a hot water bottle, they are always great for a cost-free way of keeping warm.
If you’ve got a few pennies to spare consider buying an electric blanket.
They are another great way to keep warm and most cost around 2p an hour to run.
Don’t forget about preventative measures, draught-proof your home and seal your windows to stop cold air from coming in.
Prices for draught excludes start from a fiver in most stores but a thick blanket rolled up next to a draughty door will work just as well.
Loft insulation is also very important as it can stop heat escaping, therefore slashing your heating bill.
You can buy insulation from all local builder merchants or retailers such as B&Q and Wickes.
