Hot Water Bottles
Beautiful Hot Water Bottles with Genuine Fur and Sheepskin Covers
One of our most popular products is our beautiful hot water bottles with covers made from genuine fur. Not only are they decorative-they also keep you warm, while the cover adds an irresistibly soft and cozy feel. At sheepskinhouse.com, we offer a variety of hot water bottles with covers made from natural materials.
Why Choose a Hot Water Bottle with a Sheepskin Cover?
Hot water bottles are especially popular during the cold and rainy months, as they provide a simple and effective way to stay warm without layering too much clothing. But why choose a hot water bottle with a cover made from natural materials like sheepskin instead of polyester?
Compared to polyester, genuine sheepskin offers several advantages. Sheepskin is a natural material that provides warmth while feeling soft and comfortable against the skin. Polyester, on the other hand, tends to be less breathable and may not feel as pleasant.
Sheepskin also has the ability to absorb moisture, helping maintain a dry and comfortable feel. This makes a sheepskin-covered hot water bottle especially ideal when you’re feeling under the weather-when you may feel both cold and overheated at the same time.
In addition, sheepskin is durable and long-lasting, meaning it can be enjoyed for years to come. A covered hot water bottle is also a better choice, as direct contact with rubber can sometimes irritate the skin.
Overall, a sheepskin cover provides a more natural, comfortable, and luxurious experience compared to polyester.
Warmth from the Heart: A Sheepskin Hot Water Bottle for Expecting Mothers
The arrival of a new family member is undoubtedly an exciting time in any expecting mother’s life. During these moments-when anticipation and preparation for the baby take center stage-she deserves extra care and attention. If you are looking for a unique and meaningful gift, a hot water bottle with a sheepskin cover is a thoughtful choice.
Soothing Benefits
One of the main reasons to choose a hot water bottle is the comforting warmth it provides, helping the body relax. During pregnancy, the body is often under strain and tension. A hot water bottle not only offers a gentle source of warmth but also creates a calming and soothing experience.
The soft, fluffy sheepskin feels wonderful against the skin and helps reduce stress while creating moments of relaxation. In addition, it can help relieve discomfort and ease muscle tension. The sheepskin adds an extra level of comfort, making the hot water bottle an effective way to soothe aches.
Simply place the hot water bottle on the area of discomfort and take a deep breath as the warmth gradually helps ease tension.
Natural Sheepskin
Sheepskin is a natural material that is exceptionally soft and gentle on the skin. It is hypoallergenic and free from harmful chemicals, making it especially safe for both expecting mothers and their babies. Natural sheepskin provides a comfortable and healthy resting experience.
Thanks to its durability, the hot water bottle can also be used long after pregnancy. Whether for stomach discomfort, menstrual cramps, or muscle aches, it offers ongoing relief and relaxation.
A hot water bottle with a sheepskin cover is therefore not only practical, but also a heartfelt gift that will continue to provide comfort for years to come.
A Thoughtful and Lasting Gift
Overall, a hot water bottle with a sheepskin cover is a thoughtful and caring gift for an expecting mother. It shows consideration for her well-being and offers comfort and reassurance during this special time.
Whether used for relaxation, pain relief, or simply for cozy moments, a sheepskin-covered hot water bottle is sure to be appreciated and remembered.
Hot Water Bottles with New Zealand Sheepskin Covers
The covers of our beautiful hot water bottles are available in a variety of styles. Below, we guide you through our selection. All of our hot water bottles share one thing in common: covers made from high-quality fur or sheepskin, paired with a premium rubber bottle.
Our bestseller is the hot water bottle with a short wool New Zealand sheepskin cover. This premium hot water bottle is characterized by its beautifully curled wool, which also makes it especially easy to care for. Short wool sheepskin from New Zealand is known for its dense, curly texture, with a wool length of approximately 0.8-1.2 inches.
The premium hot water bottle is available in muted tones that blend effortlessly into any home-whether your style is modern or more classic. If you are looking for a more colorful option, be sure to explore our coral-colored designs. These are available in various shades of pink, two tones of blue, and even a warm golden yellow, making them a perfect gift for friends or teenage daughters.
A Hot Water Bottle That Keeps You Warm
Our second model features a cover made from shearling sheepskin, offering a more luxurious option compared to the short wool version, although both come from New Zealand lambs. Shearling is characterized by its very short, evenly trimmed wool, measuring no more than 0.5 inches. This creates a dense surface with exceptional softness.
Thanks to this softness, it’s hard to keep your hands off the cover-it feels incredibly smooth and luxurious to the touch.
Moccasin-Inspired Designs
Our moccasin-style hot water bottles are available in two variations. The first features a natural-looking cover with an authentic and classic expression. The second offers a patterned design inspired by nature. Both styles are made from the softest New Zealand sheepskin, ensuring both warmth and comfort.
The color palette is kept in natural, muted tones, creating a calm and timeless aesthetic. The patterned version stands out with its decorative look, adding a subtle touch of elegance and style to your home.
These hot water bottles are not only a source of warmth-they are the perfect combination of comfort, design, and natural luxury.
What Should You Consider When Using a Hot Water Bottle with a Cover?
A hot water bottle is made to be used and enjoyed. To help you get the most out of it for as long as possible, we recommend following these three guidelines:
1. How Hot Can the Water Be?
Only use water that is no hotter than 158°F (70°C) when filling your hot water bottle. This helps prevent excess pressure from building up inside the bottle.
If your hot water bottle shows any signs of leaking, do not use it. Instead, replace the rubber bottle, as it follows standard sizing used for most hot water bottles. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
2. Can I Fill the Bottle Completely?
No. While the rubber bottle can hold approximately 3 quarts (about 0.8 gallons) of water, we recommend filling it to about 70% capacity.
This makes the bottle more flexible and allows it to better adapt to different areas of the body. It also ensures a more comfortable experience—especially when relaxing under a blanket after a long day.
3. Can I Sleep with My Hot Water Bottle?
Although it may be tempting to bring your hot water bottle to bed, we do not recommend sleeping with it.
The bottle should not be exposed to pressure exceeding 110 lbs (50 kg), as this may cause damage or bursting. For this reason, avoid sitting or lying on it.
Instead, use it as a source of warmth while you are awake—this way, you can safely enjoy its comforting heat.
By following these recommendations, you can use your hot water bottle safely and enjoy its warmth without unnecessary risk.
How Do I Care for the Fur Cover of My Hot Water Bottle?
A hot water bottle with a genuine sheepskin or fur cover requires slightly different care than one with a polyester cover. However, this does not mean it is complicated—just that it’s important to understand the material.
Whether you choose sheepskin or rabbit fur, the cover features a hidden zipper, allowing it to be easily removed for care. The zipper is discreetly designed so it remains unnoticeable—both in use and in appearance.
Hot Water Bottle with a Sheepskin Cover
New Zealand sheepskin is a beautiful natural material, known for being both soft and easy to care for. This makes it especially well-suited as a cover for hot water bottles. Short wool sheepskin is characterized by its small, curly texture—but these curls also serve a purpose: they make the material particularly low-maintenance.
To care for a short wool sheepskin cover, simply shake it regularly. This helps maintain its natural, soft, and slightly wild appearance.
If the curls begin to lose their shape, they can easily be restored. Lightly dampen your hands and gently work through sections of the wool, moistening it down to the roots. Allow the cover to air dry, and the curls will return.
