IF you’re feeling the cold this season, you may be interested in some handy household gadgets to give you an added boost of warmth.
If so, you’ll be glad to hear Target have slashed the price of their Brookstone Heated Blanket down to just $40.
The blanket has scored a fantastic 4.2-star rating online, with shoppers calling it a ‘winter must-have’.
The cozy blanket is made from a plush polyester velvet material, giving it a soft and luxurious feel.
You can choose from three sizes:
- King, which measures 100 x 90 inches.
- Full/Queen, which measures 84 x 90 inches.
- Twin, which measures 62 x 84 inches.
The blanket features an incredible 10 toasty heat settings, so you can remain in full control of your temperature.
It also comes with an adjustable timer and 12-hour auto shut off for added safety.
You can control the blanket with an ‘easy-to-use’ controller, which is compatible with an AC adaptor.
Even better, the controller on Full/Queen or King is dual-zone, so partners can control heat settings individually and choose their own desired level of warmth on each side of the bed.
The retailer says: “Add a layer of toasty comfort to your bed with the Brookstone Cozy Heated Plush Blanket.
“Choose from 10 heat settings on the easy-to-use controller to find your custom comfort throughout the night and save energy by lowering the thermostat.
“Enjoy restful sleep using the built-in timer to ensure your most comfortable night’s rest.”
The blanket can be matched to any décor, as it’s available in several colors and styles to choose from, including: dark gray texture, gray plush, ivory herringbone, gray, navy, and taupe.
It’s machine washable and tumble dry safe for easy care.
And the review section is full of praise.
One happy customer said: “It’s so soft and cuddly, love this blanket. [It] keeps me warm and comfortable, 12/10 would recommend.”
Another person echoed the positive feedback, saying: “Keeps me warm without the high energy bill.”
While someone else said: “So glad I bought this. Works great, heats up quickly, and is super soft.
“I bought a heated blanket a few years ago that randomly stopped working so I was hesitant to buy another one but I’ve been using this daily for weeks now with no issues.
“Love the control pad and the timer too. I usually have to use several blankets while sleeping because I run so cold, but I can use this blanket by itself and stay nice and toasty!”
And even better, the blanket comes with a five year limited warranty so you can rest both warm and with peace of mind.
