Stay warm this winter with a heated throw is stylish enough to be used anywhere in the home
With the recent 2% hike in the energy price cap, many households are looking for ways to stay warm without breaking the bank. The arrival of Storm Amy has brought colder weather across the UK, adding to the challenge.
The chilliest moments indoors often occur during quiet activities like watching telly or reading a book. A cold room can make these otherwise relaxing moments uncomfortable.
Electric blankets and throws offer an easy solution, providing targeted warmth exactly where it’s needed. The Livivo Electric Blanket is one such essential that offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional heating, running for as little as 3p per hour.
Currently on sale at online marketplace Yimbly (owned by MyLondon’s parent company Reach Plc), the blanket has been reduced from £69.99 to £39.99. Shoppers can save an additional 10% by using the code AUTUMN10 at checkout, bringing the price down to £35.99 – a saving of 48% off the RRP.
Crafted from soft and silky smooth fleece material, the blanket measures 160 x 130 cm, making it large enough to drape over the sofa or lay across the bed. With nine adjustable heat settings, users can customise the temperature to their liking, reports the Daily Record.

Warm and snug, the super soft heated throw costs as little as 3p an hour to run.
The blanket comes in a variety of colours. The neutral cream colour would look good in any setting, as would the chocolate brown colour. There is also a pretty pink colour that would add a cosy layer of comfort to bedrooms.
It features a built-in timer that can be programmed from one to nine hours. The blanket is also machine washable, simply by detaching the remote control.
If the Livivo Heated Blanket doesn’t suit one’s needs, Dunelm stocks the Carmen Fleece Electric Over Blanket for £49. Marginally bigger than the Yimbly blanket, one purchaser described it as ‘the best thing I have bought myself in a long time’.
Meanwhile on Amazon, the Dreamland Snuggle Up Electric Throw is available for £60. Boasting six different heat settings, it’s available in a variety of colours.
Shoppers who have already purchased the Livivo Heated Blanket have shared rave reviews online. One customer commented: “This is absolutely lush, lovely and cosy and warm, son is buying me one for Christmas to keep upstairs, it’s a must buy.”
Another remarked: “First heated blanket that’s high temperature is actually nice and toasty! I really liked the timer function as well, as I was able to use on a night and not worry about it being on all night.”
A third was thoroughly impressed, noting: “I live on my own, costing me a fortune to heat the house. This cost pennies in comparison, and I’ve had it on non-stop since I ordered it. Level 3/4 is sound for me, its big enough to drape around me, and it keeps me toasty. Game-changer in reality”.
Nevertheless, one did point out: “Disappointed there’s about 30cm of material (along each side) which isn’t heated.”
