King size heating blanket. Wrap myself up like a burrito after work and I'm in heaven. Just wish I'd done it sooner, my last place didn't keep heat in well, but I felt like spending $100~ on a blanket was crazy and was stacking multiple cheap ones to not freeze in my own home.
I bought very hot bed sheet "fillings" (what's the word in english for the stuff inside? ) for my girlfriend and it was the best gift she ever gotten. Now every night she loves wrapping herself in that thing. :)
Are you thinking of a duvet, maybe?
Yes! Had no idea what the word was, but this is exactly it. Thanks, stranger. :)
Do you mind providing a link? Or could I just easily find something on Amazon? Thanks.
This is the one I bought. It works pretty well and has controls for each half so I can just heat one side if I want to address aches on that side or both if I'm trying to warm up quick. Haven't run it through the wash yet so I'm not sure how it holds up there. Otherwise for pets (since I have a cat) their claws don't get stuck on it, but they may cause threads to get pulled out (I haven't had this happen a lot, but I figure if you have big dogs or something you'll see a lot more threads pulled out; I have a miniature pincher sized cat so small dogs I assume wouldn't cause too much wear and tear). It heats up pretty fast too, I think it only takes about ~2-3 minutes and once it's heated up you don't feel the lumps from the wires inside.
