As temperatures begin to drop as we say goodbye to summer, many are turning to electric blankets to provide some much-needed warmth in bed. Amazon currently offers a “smart” heated blanket at a discounted price, and with nine heat settings and different zones, it’s a game changer.
The Snuggledown Intelligent Warmth Multi Zone Double Electric Blanket normally costs £87, but for a limited time it can be yours for £72.68. This is the cheapest price you can buy the gadget for, as Argos is selling it for £115, while it costs £225 at Debenhams.
Because the blanket warms your bed, you don’t need to turn on the heat to ensure a cozy night’s sleep. This means it will help you save money on your bills overall, with it costing around 2p per hour to run on the highest heat setting.

In addition to having nine heat settings for you to choose the perfect temperature to suit your body, the electric blanket has dual controls with additional foot controls. This means that you and your partner can adjust the right temperature level for both body and feet without having to compromise.
The heated blanket not only keeps you warm, it can help ease the pain of sore and aching joints. It also has an automatic shut-off feature to prevent overheating, giving you peace of mind.
The Snuggledown Electric Blanket has an overall rating of 4.4 on Amazon‘s website, with many praising it for being “comfortable and warm”. One impressed shopper gave it full marks, saying: “We bought the Snuggledown blanket when all the energy prices went through the roof. It’s the best purchase we’ve ever made.
Another wrote: “Although we have only had the blanket for a few weeks, it has made going to bed more enjoyable during the winter months. It has improved the comfort of the bed and we each have complete control over our side and top and lower parts of the bed For us, although it is far from the cheapest, it is a worthwhile investment and we recommend it.”
A third satisfied customer commented: “Excellent and comfortable. The dual control was one of the main reasons to buy and the separate settings for feet and torso are a real bonus. It takes a while to warm up but it’s not really a problem as I don’t expect a blanket to suddenly rise in temperature.The blanket has a really good and handy outer side that can be washed off.
Unfortunately, one person isn’t as impressed with the gadget, as they explained: “Every time you turn the blanket off and then on again, you have to reset your desired heat and time settings, which is frustrating.”
