This works out to be just over 3p per day or around 25p per week if used for three hours a day. It is super soft and is made from 100% polyester, providing quick and efficient heat.
And don’t worry, you won’t need to worry about falling asleep with it on at night, as the overheat protection will automatically shut off the blanket if you forget to turn it off before you go to bed. If that wasn’t enough, it also comes with a one year guarantee.
