LongHug 2L Extra-Long Hot Water Bottle

An ordinary hot water bottle warms a patch about the size of a dinner plate. If what aches is a whole back, a pair of cold feet or a stiff shoulder and neck, you end up moving it around all evening and nowhere is warm for long.

The LongHug is 76 cm long and holds two litres. It lies the full length of a back, wraps right round a waist, or runs down the length of a bed to warm both feet at once.

The cover is a thick, soft plush with a pom-pom tie at the neck, and the bottle inside is ribbed natural rubber — the ribs are what hold the heat and give you something to grip when it is full.

Why You'll Love It

📏 Long Enough to Wrap
76 cm goes right around a waist, lies the full length of a back or drapes over both shoulders. One bottle covers what normally takes two.

💧 Two Litres of Heat
Twice the water of a standard bottle means it is still properly warm hours later, rather than lukewarm by the time you have settled down.

🧣 Thick Plush Cover
Soft enough to hold straight against skin and thick enough to work as a heat barrier. It slips off for washing, which a fused cover does not.

🛏️ Warms a Bed Properly
Laid down the middle of a bed it warms the whole length rather than one spot. Put it in twenty minutes before you get in and the sheets are warm all over.

🤗 Also a Body Pillow
Full and covered it is soft and heavy enough to hug, which is half the reason people reach for one in the first place.

🌙 For Sore Backs and Cold Nights
Across the lower back in an armchair, around the middle under a blanket, or behind the neck and shoulders. The length is what makes all three possible.

🎁 A Good Christmas Present
It looks and feels like a proper gift rather than a practical item, and it is used from the day it is opened until spring.

💷 Costs Nothing to Run
A kettle of water and nothing else. With heating bills where they are, warming the person rather than the house is the sensible order of things.

🎨 Pink or Dark Grey
Both plain enough to leave on a sofa. The inner bottle's colour and pattern vary — it lives inside the cover, so it makes no difference.

⚠️ Fill It Safely
Use hot but not boiling water, fill to about two thirds, press the air out before screwing the stopper in, and replace the bottle every couple of years as you would any rubber one.

Warmth From End to End

Two litres takes a little longer to fill than you expect — stand it in a sink and fill it in stages rather than all at once.

Keep the cover on whenever it is against skin, and never fill it with boiling water straight from a kettle on the boil.
