When I was younger I loved to take a hot water bottle to bed with me when it was cold but then as a present I got bought a Beddy Bear as an alternative, to start with I was a little dubious as to whether this would be as good as a hot water bottle, that was several years ago and I have not used a hot water bottle since. What is A Beddy Bear Basically it is a teddy bear which instead of being filled with the usual soft stuffing it is filled with 100% natural wheat, the bears main body is filled with the wheat and its arms, legs and head are filled with the usual stuffing. A Beddy bear can be used as either an alternative to a hot water bottle or as a ...  Read the complete review

A few years ago my boyfriend's parents bought me a Beddy Bear for Christmas, and it has been one of the best and most useful presents I can remember receiving for quite a long time. *What is a Beddy Bear?* It is basically a teddy bear which is filled with 100% natural wheat instead of the usual stuffing. This means that you can pop him in the microwave to help warm you up, or a few hours in the freezer to use as a cold pack. It also has a lavender scent to help you sleep. It is made in the UK by Intelex. My bear measures 12" (30cm) from head to toe. *How do you use it?* If you want to use it as an alternative to the traditional ...  Read the complete review

I first got this as a Christmas present from a friend and I didn't use it for a while as I didn't realise how nice they are once heated. Before you put it in the microwave it's just an average bear, soft, cute looking display purposes mainly.

The bear additionally has a lovely and relaxing lavender aroma which is released upon heating. It really helps with ease ...  Read the complete review

My two children first got these when they were 4 & 5 years old. I wanted something that they could take to bed and wouldn't have the potential to scald them or leak water all over their beds. We have got one purple and one pink and they have been used more times than I originally thought they would. As well as going to bed we have used than as a general 'comforter' when they are feeling a little under the weather, on a Sunday morning for our duvet, toast and Cbeebies morning and to put in their beds 5 minutes before they go up stairs. After heating in the microwave (I heat mine together) I suggest you give each bear a little shake to evenly distribute ...  Read the complete review

Our little lad has had his Beddy Bear now for a couple of years. We bought it while we out together as a family at our local garden centre, looking for gaden plants and not hot water bottles. Our son reached out and picked this up and asked if he could have it We don't usually let him have what he wants but to be honest we had been looking for something like this to keep him warm in bed at night so we thought it was perfect timing. We were not keen on him having a conventional hot water bottle as we were afraid for safety reasons so we thought this was a great alternative and of course it helps that it looks so cute too. No hot water is required for ...  Read the complete review
