As the days grow shorter and the temperature begins to dip, there’s a familiar temptation to reach straight for the thermostat. But before you crank up the heating, there are wonderfully simple and natural ways to stay warm this autumn — all without the added energy bills.
At The Hot Water Bottle Shop, we’re big believers in wrapping up, slowing down, and finding cosy comforts that don't cost the earth. From eco hot water bottles to microwave wheat bags, here are our favourite ways to stay snug as the leaves fall.
1. Layer Up Like You Mean It
Soft, insulating layers trap heat — and nothing beats the comfort of a luxurious dressing gown on a crisp autumn morning.
If you’re not sure which robe suits your style or needs, check out our Essential Guide to Finding Your Perfect Bathrobe.

2. Warm Your Bed – Not the Whole House
Instead of heating your entire home overnight, try using a classic hot water bottle or microwave wheat bag to warm your bed before you get in.
For full-body warmth, long hot water bottles stretch across the bed and stay warm for hours.
3. Keep Your Feet Toasty
Cold feet can ruin an otherwise cosy evening. Our microwavable slippers are a game-changer for cold toes — filled with natural grains that retain heat and relax tired feet.

4. Snuggle Up with a Throw or Blanket
Keep one by the sofa, drape one on the bed, and stay warm without turning the heating on. Our soft throw blankets offer instant comfort and warmth.
Need help picking the perfect one? Our Throw Blanket Guide is here to help.
5. Targeted Heat Therapy
Apply warmth where you need it most with a microwave wheat bag — ideal for necks, shoulders, or lower backs.
This isn’t just about comfort — heat therapy is proven to ease tension and stress naturally, helping your body stay warm and relaxed.

6. Create a Warm, Calming Atmosphere
Warmth isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, too. Soothe your space with our aromatherapy sleep aids, including lavender eye masks and sleep sprays that bring instant calm.
Light a candle, turn down the lights, and ease into your evening — the warm way.
Warmth Without the Worry
Staying warm this autumn doesn’t need to mean rising energy bills. With a few smart, comforting upgrades, you can create a warm home that supports your wellbeing — naturally.
