"I love these trips, because it gives my family plenty of opportunities to learn deeply about the countries we visit. One of the things I learned on my trip to India is how many people who call the country home stay warm throughout the night with a simple, inexpensive, and very effective method. It's so easy, I started using it at home immediately - and now I won't ever get through a cold night without it."
"I heard a knock at my door as I was getting ready for bed. I hadn't ordered room service, so I was unsure what to expect. I was surprised to find a hotel employee standing outside with three hot water bottles, one for each member of my family. He explained that we should put the hot water bottle in bed with us to stay warm throughout the night."
"I wasn't sure how well a hot water bottle would work at staving off the cold, but I was willing to give it a try. I was astonished by how well it worked. I put my hot water bottle on my mattress, covered by my duvet, while I brushed my teeth. Then, I climbed into bed to go to sleep. I couldn't believe how well the water bottle had warmed the bed."
During a winter trip to Northern India, heritage hotels provided hot water bottles to warm beds. Hot water bottles are a simple, inexpensive, and effective method for staying warm throughout cold nights. Placing a filled bottle on the mattress under the duvet quickly heats the sleeping area and creates a noticeably warm spot. Holding a warm bottle against the abdomen adds direct body comfort. The traveler was surprised by the effectiveness and adopted the practice at home. Hot water bottles provide an accessible alternative to central heating for travelers and households facing chilly nights.
