Turn Off the Heater, Turn On Natural Warmth: Experience Eco-Friendly Luxury Comfort
Heating your bedroom overnight adds up quickly.
A typical heater runs at around 1.5–2.5 kW. Over 8 hours, that’s 12–20 kW of electricity.
At an average rate of $0.25–$0.30 per kWh, you’re spending roughly $3 to $6 per night — just to stay warm while you sleep.
Over a week, that becomes $20 to $40.
Now imagine reducing that cost simply by sleeping warmer, not heating harder.
A high-quality natural fibre quilt provides exceptional insulation and thermal regulation — helping you stay comfortable through the night without relying on constant heating.
