'I'm a shopping expert and this is the best electric blanket I've tried – it could save you money'

I tested 13 electric blankets last winter to find out which ones were really worth the money – and this smart model came up tops for comfort, warmth, ease of use and value for money

What I loved about this Dreamland model was its soft organic cotton material, as opposed to fleece (which I find a bit too hot and sweaty). With six heat settings and three timings (Image: Freemans)At the moment, while it's only autumn, I'm currently switching it on to level 2 or 3 an hour before bed, but in the depths of winter I crank it up to 6 or 7, then leave it on low overnight. It's reported on the Lakeland website that this Dreamland Snowed In model costs 'as little as 5p per hour to run', and could stop you from turning on the radiator in your bedroom, or switching your heating off earlier at night.
