Measures 135 x 180cm

Costs less than 1p per hour to run

Has an auto-shut off to turn the throw off 1 hour or 9 hours later

free p+p

Not as cheap as the faux fur heated throw from Boots that was reduced recently, but cheaper than some other full priced ones.

The length of the lead though is only 1.5 m so you might need to sit fairly close to the socket or use an extension lead.

Although this isn't reduced, it would make a lovely present, especially with that time of year coming, ;)

    We love the two we got from Boots wish they come back in stock

    That one is slightly larger but narrow in width

    Boots one is 120 x 160cm

    A friend of mine managed to get the Boots one and was really pleased - I think if they came back in stock, they'd be the full price though.

    I don't think she'd find this one as attractive as the faux fur, but the blurb on website says it's 135 cm x 180 cm so it should be both wider and longer than the Boots one.

    Aldi have one from Oct 8th. £29.99. 120 X 160. No idea what it's like but the colours are pretty!! I imagine the quality of the Lakeland one is good but I wouldn't know quality if it jumped out at me!

    I have an old Pifco one and it's wonderful, had it for years and years. A great invention, think I'll get one of the Aldi ones as backup, I'd hate to be without it.

    Great for campervan too.

    I wonder if these are meant to be used /are comfortable to use as a cuddle blanket (One I was about to buy a couple of years ago said only for use as a throw).


    I have found Lidl's heated pads and cushions ideal to warm a sore back, but am having to return (with customer service approval) the pad I bought last weekend, as it is too rigid, so actually painful for me to use.
