With summer now behind us, the first signs of autumn are creeping in, and that means cooler mornings and chilly evenings. With the energy price cap set to rise by as much as 4% from October, countless shoppers will be looking for ways to stay warm and cosy without sending their energy bills soaring.
A heated throw could be one way to keep the cold at bay, providing targeted warmth while you’re curled up on the sofa and potentially helping you avoid turning the heating on quite so often. Unlike cranking up the thermostat, a throw can be used exactly where you need it, making it a handy option as the weather becomes more unpredictable.
Right now on Amazon, the Silentnight Luxury Super Cosy Heated Throw has been reduced from £59.99 to£49.99. The cut-price throw comes in a gorgeous, on-trend charcoal colour, while other shades are also available for higher prices.

Another customer praised how quickly it warms up, writing: “I am very satisfied with my new heated throw. It’s a great way to keep warm if you have to sit still for a time.
“It heats up quickly and retains warmth for ages if you turn it off once it’s warmed up. There is a wide range of heat settings, and it looks nice, too; it’s soft, and I like the colour I chose.”
Another shopper focused on its running costs, saying: “Another big plus is how economical it is to run. It genuinely costs pennies per hour, making it a very energy-efficient way to keep warm without having to heat the whole house. I tested it and found that it cost me around 3p per hour to use, which is about 2p more than advertised, but still extremely efficient and far cheaper than having the central heating on.”
A fourth shopper agreed that it was a good option for keeping warm, adding: “Very cosy and gets warm quite quickly after the first use. Does what it says. The only reason it doesn’t have a five-star rating is that the wire can get in the way, but honestly, I can’t see a way around it. Otherwise, a fab blanket that does the job.”
There were a few minor criticisms, with another customer saying: “Lovely colour, I went for the green, size is also good for one. The downside was not very thick or fluffy. Easy to operate and does get very toasty.”
The cable was also mentioned by the first reviewer, who added: “The only thing I would change is the cable because it’s quite clunky and would be less so if it were lighter. However, I think it’s a ‘must’ for anyone who feels the cold – given soaring energy costs.”
The Silentnight Luxury Super Cosy Heated Throw is available from Amazon.
