In fact, they’re becoming something of a heating hack for young Brits who love the cosy atmosphere they create and the bill busting running costs they offer in comparison to traditional central heating or plug-in heaters,’ explains Hayley Chaytor, spokesperson for Silentnight.

The money-saving benefits are great news for students or families operating within a tight budget during the colder months. Especially given that working from home could see energy bills rise by up to 18 per cent this winter.
