"I’m one of those people who gets cold the minute I stop moving. Even on mild evening, twenty minutes on the sofa and my hands and feet are freezing. Now I put this on when I sit down and I’m cosy through. The foot pocket is brilliant. I don't take it off until I go to bed most nights."

"I've been through two cheap ones. One stopped heating after a few weeks, the other had a hot spot near the wire that worried me. This one heats evenly all the way through, no weird patches and the controller is so much simple - just one buton. I've washed it and it still works perfectly. Should have just spent the money on a proper one from the start."

"I was expecting it to feel stiff because of the wires inside, but it doesn't, genuinely soft. Literally no  rustling when you move. My daughter tried it and wouldn't give it back. I've fallen asleep in it more than once just sitting in my armchair after tea."

"I thought I’d only get it out in the deep of winter or at least late autumn, but I was wrong. Even on a mild evening, once I've been sitting for a while I feel the chill creep in. Now it's just part of my routine: I sit down, I put it on, I'm sorted. It's on most evenings regardless of the weather. The foot pocket keeps everything cosy."

"My daughter buys me things I never end up using. This is the exception. I put it on at half six every evening and it doesn't come off until bedtime. She said she'd never seen me use a gift so much."

"I was nervous about heated blankets after reading things online. This has an auto shut-off which was the main thing for me. It arrived within a few days, well packaged, instructions were clear. I've nodded off in it a couple of times and woken up fine, it just switches itself off. That matters when you live on your own."

"I nearly bought a cheap one from a discount site but I've been burned before with electricals that don't last. This feels like proper quality: the material, the stitching, the way it heats. I use it every single evening so the cost per wear is nothing at this point. One of those things I wish I'd bought sooner."

"I just wanted something warm for the evenings. This does the job perfectly. I put it on, press the button, and I'm comfortable within a few minutes. Really pleased with this purchase."

"I bought this for myself. He said he didn't need one. Two evenings later he's wearing it on the sofa and I'm back under a normal blanket. We've ordered him his own now"

"That doesn't happen often with me. I'm not someone who raves about things. But this has been so good I couldn't not mention it. Recommended to 3 of my friends, they’re all using it now and very glad they bought it."
