AS freezing temperatures hit the UK it’s more important than ever to keep warm at night. Fortunately there are now plenty of options to warm your bed which can keep you cosy, save on energy bills and help you get a good nights' sleep. I'm not talking about hot water bottles or the heavy electric blankets your grandmother used to inflict on you.
