7 Genius Low-Cost Ways to Stay Warm This Winter
Winter can be magical — cosy nights in, twinkling lights, and the smell of hot chocolate in the air. But rising energy bills can quickly freeze the joy. If you’re looking for clever, budget-friendly ways to stay warm without constantly turning up your thermostat, you’re in the right place.
Here are 7 genius, low-cost (and even free!) ways to keep the chill at bay — while saving money and staying comfortable all winter long.
1. Layer Like a Pro
Instead of one thick jumper, wear multiple lighter layers. This traps warm air between them, creating insulation that keeps heat close to your body.
- Base Layer: Thermal tops or merino wool for warmth without bulk.
- Middle Layer: Fleece or knitted sweaters for insulation.
- Outer Layer: Windproof or heated jackets for maximum protection.
💡 Pro Tip: Warmweave™ USB Heated Hoodie Blanket gives you all-day warmth without heavy layering — perfect for home or office use.
2. Invest in Heated Clothing
Modern heated apparel uses USB power banks or small rechargeable batteries to deliver consistent warmth, even on freezing days.
- Adjustable heat settings
- Targeted warmth (core, hands, feet)
- Portability for indoors & outdoors
🔥 Best Picks:
- Warmweave™ USB Heated Thermal Suit — all-over warmth for winter walks or commutes.
- Warmweave™ USB Heated Winter Boots — toasty toes in icy conditions.
3. Keep Your Feet Warm
Cold feet can quickly make you feel chilled all over.
- Wear thermal socks
- Use heated slippers or boots
- Keep a warm rug under your desk to stop heat loss through your feet
🧦 Warmweave Tip: Our USB Heated Socks are perfect for anyone working from home or sitting for long periods.
4. Warm Up Your Bed Before Sleep
Nothing beats slipping into a pre-heated bed on a cold night.
- Use a hot water bottle or electric heating pad
- Try a heated throw blanket for quick warmth
💤 Combine this with flannel bedding to keep heat locked in.
5. Block Draughts & Heat Loss
Stop cold air from seeping in by:
- Adding draught excluders to doors
- Closing curtains at night to trap heat
- Using thermal curtains for extra insulation
🚪 Did You Know? Up to 35% of heat loss in homes is through windows and doors.
6. Keep Moving
Light exercise keeps your blood flowing and naturally raises your body temperature.
- Walk around the house
- Do a quick 5-minute stretch break every hour
- Use a mini home workout to stay warm and active
7. Drink & Eat Warm
Warm food and drinks help raise your core temperature.
- Sip hot tea, coffee, or cocoa throughout the day
- Opt for hearty soups, stews, and porridge for long-lasting warmth
🥘 Try a slow cooker for easy, hot meals that keep your kitchen cosy.
