    I don't have the controls they sit on the other side of the bed but we are like a couple of toasted sandwiches.

    Less than a pound a week even with the controller leaving it on a bit too long

    I have a rabbit warming pad which my rabbits won’t sit on. It’s a solid hard disc about an inch thick and 9 inches diameter. It goes in the microwave for 6 mins and stays hot all night. No risk of leaks and avoids the process of filling. My hands aren’t weak but I sometimes struggle to undo the cap on a hot water bottle once it’s cold
