With wintry weather hitting Scotland this week, there has never been a more suitable time to consider investing in an electric blanket.

Fortunately, Black Friday is officially set to arrive on November 29, with numerous retailers launching early deals across the cold weather must-have right now - which is useful, especially as they can often be quite pricey.

What are the benefits of electric blankets?

With heating bills remaining a concern, one of the main advantage of purchasing an electric blanket is the running cost. With some running as low as 1p per hour, they offer a cosy way to keep warm in bed without racking up the bill.

Costs aside, they can also help aid in a better night of rest. Not to mention that they can also act as a 'warm compress' of sorts for anyone who suffers from health conditions such as arthritis, sciatica and other aches and pains.

What to consider before buying an electric blanket?

One of the most obvious things to consider is the size, as you want to ensure that it is large enough to fit your entire bed. Luckily, they are all mostly available in sizes ranging from a single to a super king, so you won't be short of choice.

If you're part of a couple, you might want to consider if you both feel the cold at night. If not, then one with dual controls, also known as "his or hers", can allow you to both choose the desired temperature without one compromising and suffering during the night.

When and what is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday is a yearly sales event that tends to fall around the same time every year. This year's event is officially set to run from November 29 to Monday, December 2.

Originally majorly associated with the US, it has gone on to become one of the biggest shopping events. While its name has many origins, it is nowadays largely the term coined for the day when retailers launch massive deals at the end of November.
