I’m in my late sister’s enormous farmhouse. It can cost as much as 800.00/mo to heat this whole place so I just heat one large bedroom upstairs with a space heater and stay there.
The old family cat hates the chilly house and was scratching at my door so I just lately started letting her in to sleep.
She’s now a permanent fixture on my bed...lol
Somehow it is comforting to have her sleep on the bed though, I don’t mind it.

We live in a hundred-year-old farmhouse, not that big and over the years add all new windows and LOTS of insulation plus an Ultra 95% efficient boiler... and my wife and personally installed miles of PEX tubing for heated floors.
But still, cool at night.
A friend knowing that I make felted wool quilts that look similar, sent me this link:

I tried one, liked it so much I gave them out for Christmas!
Some were the Japanese ones as shown and some antique copper ones from ebay most of them for less than $25 delivered but need polishing. A grode one for $14 delivered!
Fill from a teapot or set directly on a gas burner, with LID OFF.
They stay HOT all night long, using a thermocouple and remote meter... Starting at 9PM @ 190 F. degrees @7AM 127 F.
The next morning!!!
And all of them were used the last couple of nights!!!
