Towel Warmer

I have used this amazing little bucket every day since my partner gifted it to me for Christmas. Not only do I warm up my towel while I shower, I also use it to make throw blankets, robes, and pajamas extra cozy. When I get out of the shower, cool air can make every joint in my body ache and having a nice warm towel ready for me has helped immensely.

Extra Large Heating Pad

The benefits of a good heating pad cannot be overstated and Sunbeam is the GOAT when it comes to heating pads. My first one lasted me over ten years of daily use and I just treated myself to this new, extra large one. Unlike the older one which auto-shut off after two hours, you can disable auto-shut off on this newer model. For those of whose pain knows no time limit, this function is a life-saver.

Reading Pillow

This big, tall, cushiony pillow provides much needed support when I’m stuck in bed all day but still want to be sitting up. It’s much taller than similar products, which is good for adults. The headrest is removable and can also be used as a separate pillow or cushion. There is a little pocket on the side to store your phone or TV remote. The cushioning is adjustable. Mine was very firm out of the box and I removed some padding for my personal comfort level.
