Heated throw blanket

I'm looking to buy a double sized heated throw blanket that plugs in and that you'd put over yourself while watching tv on the sofa for example.

(not a heated underblanket sometimes called an 'electric blanket')

I've found a couple on Amazon at around the £40 mark but they're brands I've not heard of - does anyone have any recommendations or seen any on deals anywhere?

  • Aldi had them on 'Special' a few weeks ago, so, if you can still find one, they're really good - reversible and wider than other makes. The Dreamland Relaxwell is ok, as is the Homefront one - I have one of each of these - I'm addicted to them! didn't need the Aldi one, but bought it because I liked the colour (purple) and have it wrapped around me as I type this. Lakeland do, what looks like, a very special faux fur one, but it's £99.99, so one for the Xmas list, perhaps, but I have no personal experience of this make.
    The ones I have are not really double sized, though, so check the measurements before you buy.

    Lidl have them in from time to time, so I think if you have either an Aldi or a Lidl close to you it would be an idea to keep an eye on their websites to see if they are going to have any on offer. I think the Lidl ones are usually around £25.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
