Dunelm's 'stylish' hot water bottle for £16 that's over 2ft long

Dunelm customers love this bargain hot water bottle that's way bigger than standard ones. Priced at just £16, the super-long Snow Leopard Long Hot Water Bottle measures an impressive 2.5ft (88cm) in length, bringing you more warmth than ever before.

Shoppers have been praising the "warm and cosy" bottle, with some using it to heat their beds before tucking in for the night. The snow leopard pattern is described as "simple yet stylish" making it a chic addition to winter essentials.

Dunelm highlights that the thick cover helps retain heat while ensuring it doesn't get too hot against the skin. The product has picked up dozens of five star reviews, reports the Mirror.

One customer asked: "What's not to like? It's soft and long and, when you add hot water, it's super cosy too!" Another wrote: "Great for this cold weather! Perfect shape for using in bed and stays warm for hours."

A third added: "Excellent quality and really soft. Perfect for cold nights. Wouldn't go back to having a normal size water bottle after switching to long hot water bottles."

Someone else thought this was a "fantastic" hot water bottle, adding: "Good to snuggle with in bed. Excellent shape for pain relief along the spine and across the shoulders. Good quality removable cover. Holds a lot of water and gives a lot of heat."

Another stated, "Honestly so good for warming up the bed! Can't believe how good it is!" As hot water bottles are meant to be replaced every two to three years roughly, this could be ideal to swap out. Some even claimed it made a perfect stocking filler at Christmas for those finding themselves constantly cold.

However, not everyone had a positive experience, as one person claimed: "The cover is so thin, you can feel the rubber bottle through it. If the water is as hot as I know most of us like, you'll burn." This customer also reported that their cover shed "a lot of fur".

Another wanted to warn others against buying it, writing: "Too heavy for your shoulders, too skinny to warm the bed. Don't know what this hot water bottle is actually for."

With cold weather on the horizon and an Arctic snowstorm approaching Britain, those looking for cosy options might consider the LKH Long Hot Water Bottle with Cover from Amazon, which offers quick delivery.

Priced at £10.99, this wrap-around bottle is 72cm long and available in ten colours, slightly smaller than Dunelm's offering. Also online, Debenhams sells a 72cm Nicola Spring Long Hot Water Bottle with Knitted Cover for the same price.
