These are great to keep warm on cheap

Thanks OP - don't let the negatives put you off.


Anything that people can use to save on the heating is useful. It looks lovely and cosy. I usually use a bottle myself but these look great.

All you needed to do was to put a thin duvet on top. You'd then have noticed a huge difference by not letting most of my heat escape into the room.

Not a safe idea - why not just buy a heated duvet in the first place? http://www.dreamlanduk.co.uk/products/sleepwell-intelliheat-luxury-cotton-duvet/

Gorgeously snug - add your own choice of cover and you can then wash easily if the cover gets grubby.

Oh dear this is MSE and, if I think there is better cheaper option, I will let people know lol ! Chill out mate there are more important things in life !

This is hilarious!


You will 'let people know' that you can use a duvet and hot water bottle?


Now why did we all not think of that?


OP do not be put off posting when you think you have found something people may be interested in and at a cheaper price.

I returned mine once I knew that the tepid heat it dished out was all it would ever do!

You can't beat tepid lol !!

You would also notice another difference: the autosave cut out would operate and the heating would switch itself off as soon as the heat built up for more than a few minutes.

I can confirm they do get warmer than tepid! As I said, I've had my first one for over 3 years. Thanks OP for mentioning about the size - useful to have a choice - if you sit on a chair or lounge on a sofa!
I think by the Wow factor, your post has been successful - just ignore those who talk about hot water bottles or are just being negative. Bottles are fine unless you want to heat more than one part of your body and/or leak!! Oh, and they go cold, don't they?
These throws are good, by the way, when it's not even that chilly that you need to turn the heat on....

I have had one of these since November 2013 and it was a life saver. I was ill, housebound for 6 weeks and could not moved around much. Instead of staying in my bed all day, withy my electric blanket, to keep warm I was able to get up and watch TV and have a change of scene i.e. a different room.

I found it warm in its own right and when switched on it was not tepid. There is plently of heat. It is also warmer than an ordinary electric blanket as it is much heavier.

If I had heated the room to a comfortable level for sitting around all day it would have cost me a fortune. Since I got the heated throw I reckon I have already saved its purchase price of just under £100.

It's really warm and does not shed its "fur".

As the OP stated, and subsequent posters have noted, it's very helpful to people with disabilities and mobility issues. Yes, a duvet and hot water bottle is cheaper but if you can't get up to re-fill it, it's no bloody use whatsoever!
Thanks OP, very helpful.

Its good to hear someone's first hand experience of having one of these for a while.
