As winter tightens its grip and energy bills soar, a popular heated throw from Lakeland has received a massive 50% price reduction for the Black Friday sales, offering a wallet-friendly solution to staying warm.
A Week-Tested Winter Essential
Commerce Content Editor Harriet Morphy-Morris put the Lakeland StaySnug Velvety Taupe Heated Throw to the test over seven days, using it non-stop to combat the chill. Her verdict confirms it effectively keeps the cold at bay, allowing her to avoid turning on the central heating during cold evenings.
The throw, normally priced at £69.99, is now available for just £29.99. This thick, fleecy blanket is designed for maximum comfort and has proven its worth in practical use.
Pennies to Run: The Cost-Saving Reality
Beyond the initial purchase price, the running cost is a significant factor. According to energy calculations from Sus-It, the throw's 160W energy output translates to a running cost of approximately just 4p per hour.
This makes it a fraction of the cost of using central heating or even other electric heaters, presenting a substantial saving for households looking to reduce their winter energy expenditure.
Features and Considerations
The plush, taupe-coloured throw heats up remarkably quickly, reaching a comforting warmth in mere seconds. It boasts variable heat settings from one to nine and includes a useful timer function.
Harriet found that using it on level six for an hour was ideal, as the throw retains heat for about half an hour after being switched off. One noted drawback is the presence of the wiring, which is essential for the heating elements but can be felt through the material, slightly detracting from the luxury feel.
While the Lakeland throw is a standout deal, shoppers have other options, such as the Dreamland IntelliHeat heated throw available at Dunelm, which is made from a similar velvety fleece material.
