We’re all looking for ways to cut back on our energy use as rising prices indicate we’re in for an expensive winter. Data from energy regulator Ofgem has revealed that 2,347,511 households were in electricity bill debt at the end of June 2022, and 1,858,585 were behind on their gas bills.
Members of the money-saving community LatestDeals.co.uk have been raving about a product that keeps them toasty warm no matter how cold it gets in their house - and new data from the company behind it has revealed that Brits can save up to £430 a year by using it instead of turning their heating on.
The hooded blanket range from luxury loungewear company Snuggy has proven to be a popular budget-friendly solution for those wanting to cut back on their energy consumption. Bargain hunters from LatestDeals.co.uk revealed why they’ve bought the product, with Caroline B saying: ‘I love mine’ and Yvonne B adding: ‘I wear mine a lot - I love it and it keeps you warm and snuggly on the cold nights.’
Danni P said: ‘I got one for my Nan’s birthday - she absolutely loves it, she said she’s only had to light the fire once this year.’ Lei H chipped in: ‘I got my adult daughters one each and they practically live in them.’ Nicola P agreed: ‘It’s so warm. Definitely worth it.’
Jack Griffiths, Co-Founder of Snuggy, told LatestDeals.co.uk: ‘The energy bill announcement led to a spike in sales for us. If we compare last September to this September we saw an increase of 220% in sales which is crazy.
‘We started receiving a lot of reviews telling us that their full family are wearing Snuggy's instead of putting their heating on to save on bills. We then conducted a survey with our customers based on the new energy price cap & found that wearing a Snuggy for just 3 hours a day instead of putting your heating on could save you over £430 a year!
‘People are heating the human, not the home with our cosy products and as a result saving a lot of money. It's an initial £30-60 outlay for an annual saving of over £430 - a pretty solid investment.
‘With the ever-growing popularity of our products since we started, we decided to get the whole family involved. We brought out Snuggy’s for dogs & babies which are arguably now our best sellers. We also created a product called the Snuggy Pod. It’s a funky-looking bed tent that helps massively with sleep problems, sensory needs etc. It’s a cosy fun den for kids too!
‘The fabrics we use on our products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We have a super soft flannel fleece layer on the outside, bonded with a really thick & luxury sherpa fleece on the inside. This combination genuinely makes you feel like you are wearing a toasty cloud.
‘In addition to this, we have recently increased the thickness of the fabrics we use at no extra charge to our customers. Our profits are lower but the product is better. The reason we are happy to do this is simple - we don't want our customers to just buy something and never come back. We want people to trust us in providing high-quality products - especially as they will now be even better at keeping you nice and warm during the upcoming winter months.’
Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, said: ‘Like the rest of us, I’ve been looking at my rising energy bills in horror, so it’s nice to see that there’s a simple and cost-effective way to cut back on the price of heating. I’ll have to look into getting one of these myself!’
