When it's cold, nothing beats curling up in bed next to someone warm but in case you're sleeping alone then toasty warm clothes can prove a decent alternative. Before getting ready for bed simply flick the switch and pop them in. The heating device will begin its toasting ways, heating the fabric so that it feels like the warm touch of a fiery lover once it touches your skin. Or, maybe, something similar that's not as life-affirming. Either way, you'll hit the mattress feeling comfier than you would have otherwise.
It takes 10 minutes to facilitate a good toasting, after which you can safely pull out the jammies for slapping onto your body. Since it will perform the same heating for most any fabric, you can easily use it for your towels, gloves, socks and other personal wearables, too, providing extra warmth whenever the situation deems it necessary.
Alternatively take the cheap option and just hibernate - go back to bed with a cuppa of something steaming!
