I had a foot warmer from Mastex company that started a fire when it was "not turned on" destroyed my bedroom. I will never use a electric bed warmer.

You heated them on your old stove or other heat source, and when it was warm enough you wraped it in a heavy cloth or slipped it into a fitted sack. Placed it in bed by your feet. I took a hours to slowly lose it's heat. You still can buy soapstone slabs today. You can also buy soapstone griddles which never need greasing to cook on. and they last forever.

I have a great one and I use it EVERY night. I can't believe I used to sleep curled up smaller than my cat! The one thing that bugs me is the water usage. So I usually reheat the water on the stove after boiling my late night hot water. It doesn't take too long so I don't think it's using too much energy. My cat likes to lay over my hot water bottle on my stomach! I am a HUGE fan of hot water bottles. I have a great one and I use it EVERY night.

The rice is a great idea! I'm impressed that you generate heat so well. I am the exact opposite. My hands are so cold that I'm just short of having X-men powers. I swear, a few degrees colder and I could freeze anything I touched. Wow. The rice is a great idea!

It only needs 2 minutes in the microwave to be SMOKIN' hot. Works like a charm. Lucky for my man, I'm his warm brick. For some reason, no matter what, I radiate enough btus to heat a small town...so he gets to warm his cold toes on me. I'm nice like that. :) I have a cloth bag full of rice that would save you from using plastic and help you feel Green still! It only needs 2 minutes in the microwave to be SMOKIN’ hot.

A good use for those bottles! That's brilliant! The buckwheat heating pad is a great idea too. Finally! A good use for those bottles! That’s brilliant!

When getting ready for bed, I throw it under the covers to warm my spot on the mattress. Those things stay warm for hours.
