As temperatures are finally set to drop in the next few days, households will be considering when to start using the central heating.
With living costs remaining high, the popularity of electric blankets is likely to keep growing.
While heating the entire house can be expensive and uneconomical, using an electric blanket has much less of an effect on energy bills.
As part of the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event last week, there were huge discounts across thousands of products, but the Mia&Coco Electric Heated Blanket is one of the few deals that hasn’t gone back to full price.
The hefty discount takes the price of the blanket down to £38.39, which makes it seem much less of an investment compared to the usual £89 price tag, plus it could save money in the long run.

With an easy plug-in LED controller, the Mia&Coco blanket has 10 heat settings to switch between, whether gentle warmth or full-on heat is required.
The cosy flannel and sherpa material is designed to provide warmth even when the heating element is not in use, and is soft and gentle on the skin.
For those looking to get an electric blanket, now could be a good time to save money, but it’s always worth checking the reviews first.
Although it’s the bestselling electric blanket on Amazon, some reviews mention that they found the cord to be quite short, and as there’s no cordless function, you would need to ensure a power socket is close to where it’s being used.
Over 5000 shoppers have left feedback on Amazon, with some calling the blanket ‘so cosy’.
Kay said: ”The product is a godsend in cold weather especially when you don’t want to turn the heating on. My two cats and dog share this with me and I wonder how we managed before.”
Lovely Lisa commented: ”Absolutely love this blanket, it’s so soft and flexible, it heats up fast and is so cosy just wrap it around yourself and you won’t have a worry about the cold this winter, also it’s so cheap to use, my smart meter only went up by 10 pence after 4 hours. Highly recommend.”
ms V Clark also added: ”While the blanket is lovely and soft and a perfect size, the wire is so short you have to be sat right next to a plug socket which is really restrictive where you use this blanket.”
