The electric blanket features three adjustable heat settings, allowing users to easily customise their level of warmth, as well as an 'ultra-fast' heat-up function. For peace of mind, the blanket also includes a built-in automatic shut-off safety feature, making it safe for extended use throughout the night. Energy and money experts, like Martin Lewis, frequently recommend a "heat the human, not the home" approach as a primary defence against excessive heating bills. By using an electric blanket to warm the bed directly, people can comfortably turn down their main room thermostats by several degrees. The same electric blanket is on sale at Boots for £35. It means customers can save £15 by shopping at Lidl instead. The product description on the Boots website reads: "The Silentnight Winter Warmer Electric Blanket is crafted from wonderfully soft microfleece, adding an extra layer of comfort to your mattress. Designed to keep you warm and cosy." On the Boots website, the blanket has an average customer rating of 4.1 stars out of five. One reviewer wrote: "I look forward to getting in a toasty warm bed at night! Enjoying the warmth." Someone else said: "Never had an electric blanket before, but won't do another winter without one." A third put: "A first-class product. Just the thing for a cold winter's night." However, one claimed: "I returned electric blankets controls were very stiff I couldn’t slide them."
