Keep Warm

Store | Product Information | Wheat Bag Information | Keep Warm

How to keep warm when you feel cold is vital for a healthy body and mind. Wheat bags are a cost effective, energy efficient and safe way to do this. There are so many heat pads on the market but it is sometimes hard to know how one compares against another.

In general, the more wheat in a particular product class (e.g. toys, slippers, multipurpose), tends to mean better heat. However, clear guidance is not always given and a price only assumption can sometimes mislead.

An easy to understand 1-5 numeric rating is given to all our wheat bag products to help you make an informed choice on how to keep warm.

Keep Warm Ratings Explained

5 = The hottest. Extreme warmth and long lasting.
4 = Very good warmth for all typically cooling in approx 1 hour.
3 = Moderate warmth typically cooling in under 45 mins.
2 = Warmth suitable for sensitive bodies
1 = Suitable when only mild heat is required or for the very young.

In general 3-4 will provide decent warmth for a typical adult or child.

Special Cases

Slippers and the styles that tie or velcro to your body tend to feel hotter than a multi purpose heat pad of similar weight. They have a rating based on more than weight alone that is more meaningful to you in terms of the warmth you get. Read more below...

Slippers

Microwave slippers will give you extra warmth compared to multi purpose style wheat bags because the thermal fabric that constructs the slippers will always keep your feet naturally insulated regardless of the wheat temperature.

Styles That Attach to Your Body

The specialist stiff back pain, stiff neck pain and joint pain wheat bags will give you a better heat than a multi purpose bag of similar weight. This is because the heat source s kept pressed against the body area that really needs the effect.

It's a bit like comparing the difference between standing very close to a radiator and actually touching one.
