The UK is set to be hit by a cold spell at the end of the month, with snow expected in some areas.
The Easy Home king electric blanket has lower and upper heating zones, so you can tailor the warmth to your needs.
You can choose between three temperatures and it comes with a remote control to easily change the settings.
It has inbuilt safety measures, including overheating protection, and the blanket will automatically switch off after around three hours.
You should make sure you always follow the safety instructions, such as never getting the blanket wet.
But you can pop it in the washing machine after removing the cable and controller.
