They work by creating a warm pocket of air for the clothes to dry in without turning on your radiators.
There are quite a few heated airer covers on the market but The Range is selling one of the cheapest ones available at the moment.
The bargain store describes the three-tier £7.99 cover as a way to “save time and money when drying your laundry”.
The Range’s cover is 75cm by 142cm, so if you’re looking to get your hands on one of these for a heated airer you have already bought, you will need to check the measurements.

Heater airers are a really effective way of keeping your energy bills low, they are much cheaper than a tumble dryer. Not to mention they add a little bit of extra heat to your home.
You simply plug them in and they gently heat up and dry your clothes without you needing to switch on the heating, some claim to be as cheap as 8p an hour to run.
But a lot of people don’t realise you can use a heated airer cover to trap the heat your airer produces and slash the drying time of your clothes even more.
A heater airer without a cover risks letting heat escape into the room you are drying clothes in.
Not bad for keeping your home warm, but not great if you’re trying to dry clothes quickly.
Some other options include the heated airer cover from Very, priced at £17.
There is also the option of purchasing a heated airer with a cover included.
The Argos Minky wing heated clothes air costs £60 a comes with a cover.
Some people have suggested you could potentially put a bedsheet over your heated airer to help try your clothes faster.
However, doing so could pose a fire risk as bed sheets are explicitly made to cover beds, not heated airers.
If you are looking for a heated airer make sure you shop around for the best price, you can use tools like Google Shopping, Idealo, Price Spy and Fakespot to compare prices.
How else you can reduce your bill
Turning down your thermostat just a few notches can help reduce your energy bills by up to £80 a year.
But keeping it at a steady temperature will help you save even more money.
Make sure you turn off any appliance you are not using and don’t leave them on standby as that could hike up your bills by £35.
