Primark shoppers rush to buy Christmas duvet sets from 'cutest range ever' that keep you warm at night without heating

BRITS are racing to Primark for winter homeware that'll keep you warm at night WITHOUT the central heating on.
The retail giant's new Sherpa Christmas Bear duvet set – made from a fleece material – has left shoppers gushing on social media.
The red design features winter-themed teddy bears and a brown underlay.
A double set will cost you £25, but it's unclear how much the set costs for single and king sizes.
"Complete with a matching pillowcase, this set is ideal for those who appreciate a touch of texture," Primark bosses.
The bedding set hits stores as trick or treaters were told to expect "gloomy" weather conditions this week.
Much of the UK can expect grey cloud and rainy spells on the spookiest day of the year.
The weather service predicts cloud and moisture will hide underneath high pressure as it moves in from the west.
“Stubborn fog” and “widespread outbreaks” of rain will see the UK have a slightly colder front compared to the weekend.
And as the cost of living crisis wreaks havoc on Britons' purses amid this chilly week, many are finding alternative ways to keep their home warm without putting the heating on.
If you were feeling cold in bed recently, Primark's new bedding might be for you.
The fast fashion store's social media team took to Instagram to promote the teddy bear-themed buy.
"This is one of the cutest ranges you have ever done," Leah Adamson commented.
"Get in my basket!" Lorzy screamed.
"I love it."
But others were less convinced by the set, and thought it might make them TOO hot.
"The print is lovely but sleeping in that material would be like torture," Suzie Jameson quipped.
"I feel sweaty just watching this," Aoife Nassie added.
5 ways to keep your house warm in winter
Property expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.
1. Curtains
“Windows are a common place for the outside cold to get into your home, this is because of small gaps that can let in air so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he said.
This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth as it can provide a kind of “insulation” between your window and curtain.
2. Rugs
“Your floor is another area of your home where heat can be lost and can make your home feel chilly,” he continued. “You might notice on cold days, that your floor is not nice to walk on due to it freezing your feet.
“Add rugs to areas that don't already have a carpet, this provides a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above.”
3. Check your insulation
Check your pipes, loft space, crawlspaces and underneath floorboards.
“Loose-fill insulation is very good for this, and is a more affordable type of insulation, with a big bag being able to be picked up for around £30,” Joshua explained.
4. Keep your internal doors closed
“Household members often gather in one room in the evening, and this is usually either the kitchen or living room,” Joshua said.
“This means you only have to heat a small area of your home, and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out.”
5. Block drafts
Don’t forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and letterboxes, as they can let in cold air if they aren’t secure.
