Dunelm customers can get their hands on an extra-long hot water bottle that will make them forget about regular ones. The supersized Snow Leopard Long Hot Water Bottle, measuring 2.5ft (88cm) in length, is available for just £16 and has been a hit with shoppers.
Unlike standard hot water bottles, this extended version provides more warmth, making it ideal for snuggling up on chilly nights. Reviewers have praised the bottle’s “warm and cosy” feel, with some using it like a traditional warming device whilst others are placing it under the bedsheets to create a warm haven at night.
The snow leopard design adds a touch of style to this winter warmer, while the thick cover ensures the heat is retained without becoming too hot for close contact.
As hot water bottles are meant to be replaced every two to three years roughly, this could be ideal to swap out. Some even claimed it made a perfect stocking filler at Christmas for those finding themselves constantly cold, reports the Mirror.
Dozens of five-star reviews have been given by satisfied customers. Plenty said they were very happy with their choice.
One said: “What’s not to like? It’s soft and long, and when you add hot water, it’s super cosy, too!” Another commented: “Great for this cold weather! Perfect shape for using in bed and stays warm for hours.”
A third reviewer vowed to stick with this style going forward, writing: “Excellent quality and really soft. Perfect for cold nights. Wouldn’t go back to having a normal size water bottle afterswitching to long hot water bottles.”
Someone else said: “Fantastic water bottle. Good to snuggle with in bed. Excellent shape for pain relief along the spine and across the shoulders. Good quality removable cover. Holds a lot of water and gives a lot of heat.”
Another pleased user said: “Honestly so good for warming up the bed! Can’t believe how good it is!”
However, not all feedback was glowing. One claimed: “The cover is so thin, you can feel the rubber bottle through it. If the water is as hot as I know most of us like, you’ll burn.” They also noted their cover had shed “a lot of fur”.
Another warned shoppers: “Too heavy for your shoulders, too skinny to warm the bed. Don’t know what this hot water bottle is actually for.”
Winter shows no sign of easing for the next few months, with an impending Arctic snowstorm set to blanket Britain before Christmas. So, it’s no surprise people want cost-effective ways to battle the cold weather.
There are several alternative options are available for those looking to keep cosy like the LKH Long Hot Water Bottle with Cover, available in ten vibrant colours. It can be quickly delivered from Amazon FOR £10.99 and measures 72cm, slightly less than Dunelm’s option. Meanwhile, Debenhams provides the Nicola Spring Long Hot Water Bottle with Knitted Cover, also priced at £10.99.
