Although we’re slowly moving towards spring, the nights have remained chillingly cold, and with energy bills set to rise in April, saving money on heating where you can is vital.
But that doesn’t mean you should freeze in your own home. Heated blankets are a cost-efficient way to stay cosy through the harsh cold nights, and people are loving this particular throw from Amazon.
Amazon’s MONHOUSE Heated Throw boasts a 4.1 star rating, and with over 5,000 reviews, that’s a lot of happy customers. And it’s currently a bargain – slashed by almost 30 per cent to just £39.99, from its original £54.99 price tag.
With nine different settings, you can make sure you’re warm enough through the winter evenings or when you’re working from home- without having to splash out the central heating.

And while you may be worried about falling asleep with an electrical appliance turned on, the product’s handy timer ensures you can rest easy in the knowledge that it will turn off itself – and it’s even machine washable.
It comes in several sizes, but the limited time offer is currently only on the double (150cm x 200cm) throw.
Satisfied shoppers are deeming Amazon’s MONHOUSE Heated Throw a ‘lifesaver’ and a ‘godsend’.
One happy customer said: “I actually bought this during a crisis when our heating system wasn’t working properly, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve used it nightly since then, and it’s been a lifesaver.
“I’ve tried all the heat settings, and I’m impressed by the range – from gentle warmth to seriously toasty. I’ve accidentally fallen asleep with it on several times, but the auto-shutoff feature gave me peace of mind.”
Another wrote: “Love this throw, its been a godsend during the winter. Instead of using my gas central heating at about £1.50 an hour, I can use this as a few pence. There’s only me in the house so no need to heat the whole house.
“This warms up really quickly and when its on its highest setting H9 its really hot, my cat loves it!”
A third said: “Fantastic product. I couldn’t have got through the winter without it. Big enough for two people if needed.
“Great having nine heat settings and material is lovely and cosy.”
But not everyone was so pleased with their purchase. Another buyer said: “This was not a cheap purchase but it certainly is one I wish I’d never made. Upon receiving the item the blanket itself seemed cheap and thin.”
For those looking elsewhere for a heated blanket, Argos offers the five-star rated Dreamland Snuggle Up Heated Grey Throw for £60, or the new Silentnight Luxury Sherpa Fleece Heated Throw for £70.
