Two Pairs Of Socks And The Room Still Feels Cold
Feet are the first thing to go and the last thing to come back, and once they are cold the rest of you follows regardless of what the thermostat says. The Pedira is a pouch rather than a mat: both feet go inside, so the warmth wraps the top of the foot as well as the sole.
Deep soft plush all the way round, multi-speed control on the cord so you can drop it back once your feet have come round, and a cover that comes off for washing. It sits under a desk or in front of the television and does the one job a room heater never quite manages.
Why It’s Better
- A Pouch, Not A Mat: Both feet go inside, so the warmth wraps the top of the foot as well as the sole.
- Multi-Speed Control: Start high to bring cold feet round, then drop it back and leave it running.
- Cover Comes Off: It unzips and goes in the washing machine like an ordinary cushion cover.
- Deep Plush Lining: Soft enough to use in bare feet, which is how most people end up using it.
- Sits Under A Desk: It stays where you put it and reaches a socket from most desks.
- Works In Socks Or Bare: Deep enough for either, and roomy enough for two feet side by side.
Perfect for a desk in a cold room
A flat heated mat warms the sole and leaves the top of the foot in the cold air, which is why they never quite work. Wrapping both feet in a pouch is a completely different sensation, and it is the reason people who buy one tend to stop putting the heating on during the working day at all.
Feet go in, not on.
Your Questions, Answered
How is this different from a heated mat?
A mat heats the sole and leaves the top of your foot sitting in cold air, which is why feet on one never quite feel warm. This is a pouch: your feet go inside it and the plush wraps them from every side. It is a noticeably different sensation, and it works far faster on feet that are already cold.
Can I wash it?
Yes. The cover comes off and goes in the machine on a cool gentle cycle, and the heating element stays out of the water entirely. Let it dry fully before you put the cover back on and plug it in.
Can I use it in bare feet?
That is how most people use it. The lining is deep plush rather than a coarse fabric, so it is comfortable directly against skin. In very cold rooms a thin pair of socks holds the warmth in a little longer.
How long does it take to warm up?
A few minutes on the highest setting, which is quick enough that you can switch it on when you sit down rather than planning ahead. Most people then drop it to a lower setting and leave it running through the afternoon.
Will it fit under a desk?
Yes, it is sized for two adult feet side by side and sits flat on the floor. The cord reaches a wall socket or an extension from most desk positions, and it stays put rather than sliding when you move your feet.
Can I use it while I sleep?
It is made for use while you are sitting up and awake, at a desk or on the sofa, so switch it off before you turn in. Most people find they want it during the working day rather than in bed, where a heated blanket does the job better.
Why this rather than thicker socks?
Because socks only slow down heat leaving your feet, they do not add any. If your feet are already cold, insulation keeps them that way. This supplies warmth directly, wraps the whole foot, and costs a fraction of heating the room you are sitting in.
