Vintage retro Belling Bed Warmer - Good Working Order

This Belling bedwarmer is made of metal and is consists of two shallow domes joined together. The bedwarmer is heated by a 40 watt light bulb. This also acts as a ‘power on’ indicator as it shines through a red panel - the hole in the centre of the bedwarmer. Manufacture of this style of bedwarmer began in 1939 but they proved so popular that they were made well into the sixties. This bedwarmer is pale grey in colour which indicates it is from the sixties when they were produced in pastel shades; pre-war they were made only in cream.

Like a hot water bottle the Belling bedwarmer warms the spot it is in and the area around it. The handle on the side can be used not only for wrapping the flex round but also for moving the bedwarmer about in the bed to warm more of it in the way that old-fashioned bed-pans were used. Instructions that came with the bedwarmer warned that it should be removed from the bed when you got in.

Used item but good condition (it was my dad's) - photos show top, bottom and power on light. The screw on the back is to take it apart and change the bulb inside.
