There's one on A****n that is £39.99. The one above is 160cm x 130cm whilst the A one is 160cm x 120cm.

By the way, why do we blank out shops here?

Hi,

you don't need to, Amazon, Tesco, Morrisons all work, on the DIY forum some folk type stopc**k, when stopcock is meant.

Thank you so much to everyone for taking the time to reply, your responses have all been really helpful, and it seems sensible to make an investment in one. Looking at what we pay per kw, they seem to average about 3p an hour to run, which is incredible. I've also been looking at the warranties and most seem to come with a years warranty, so I  might hold off ordering until September to make the most of that.

Thanks again 🙂

To be honest I'd buy it now if you can, before the colder weather approaches and everyone else thinks of buying one.
Also stock might decrease and prices increase!

I second that, get in while you can just in case that horse bolts

PS, if it's the guarantee that worries you, why not splurge an extra three quid and get the next one up at £42.99? Two-year warranty and a bit softer so it says

i know back in the day (pre-2008) it was a thing on the old style and shopping sub-forums. it was explained to me if there was a misprice or a loophole it could be exploited for longer and not picked up by google. i know some people use it when they want to offer an option but make it clear they dont support or promote the store. for me its habit to write sainsbugs or MrT

I thought it was so we didn’t give them free market research - they use programs which crawl the web looking for discussions like this and price according to how much demand they identify

Our two blankets arrived yesterday. Perfectly timed for the upcoming heatwave!

Thank you both, I hadn't thought of it that way and it actually prompted me to look into the extended warranty and accidental damage cover offered. I have ordered one with an extended warranty for 3 years, and only cost a few extra pounds. I looked into the terms and it seemed to cover every eventuality I could foresee, so I'm happy with that. Thanks everyone for your help and advice 🙂

I read this thread with interest as I have a heated throw and consider it one of the best purchases I've ever made so I'm glad you've found one you're happy with.
On a related note I thought you might be interested to hear about my experiences with thermal clothing.
I've bought various bits from M*rks, Pr*m*rk and Un*ql* over the last few years and have found that Pr*m*rk men's socks to be very good but their thermal clothes not worth buying.
Un*ql* thermal layers, especially their leggings, are very much worth the money and can sometimes be found on the rails in charity shops. They have oddly timed online sales too so the website is worth keeping an eye on.
M*rks thermal clothes are almost as good as Un*ql* but cost a few pounds more new but might be worth buying secondhand.
If your hands really suffer in the cold I find this sort of glove well worth wearing indoors and under your outdoor ones too as the increased warmth keeps your hands much more supple.
Hope this is helpful for you and others too.
