Heating pads: this is how you keep yourself warm this autumn. Let's hold on to those summer feelings!
Come rain, come shine: No matter how you look at it, autumn has arrived. It always takes some getting used to, the change from summer to autumn. In the meantime, however, we are (pun intended) have become seasoned 'summer extenders'. In the garden in the autumn? A heating pad is your answer! Heating pad? Absolute. And we are talking about an infrared pillow that you simply charge with a USB cable and which then keeps you warm for up to six hours, depending on the temperature. Big (hello understatement) we are fans of Stoov®'s Ploov. A beautiful and easy to use heating pad that you - trust us - carries it with you everywhere from (lounge) sofa to terrace to garden or balcony.
A trip to Southern Europe is of course a good idea, but ultimately you return home. That's okay, because there are also all kinds of useful things you can think of to hold on to the heat on your skin. In comes Stoov®. As avid terrace goers - terrace shopping is a hobby - we have regularly come across the brand.
For those who are not (yet) familiar with Stoov®: Stoov® is the brand behind a wide range of beautiful heating pads which are not only practical and nice, but also very beautiful. Plus: a Ploov, our favorite model, ensures that you enter autumn a little more sustainably. Heat directly against your body ensures that the thermostat can be turned down a notch. Fortunately, the pillow is wireless. Very handy. You charge it with a USB cable, which you can then store for up to six hours. The Ploov heats your buttocks with infrared – Far Infrared (FIR) heat technology – which is very good for your blood circulation, so that your muscles and joints relax and any pain is relieved. We think it's a cool extra. Plus: the wireless feature means you can really take the Ploov with you wherever you go. The terrace for example? Brilliant of course.
The thermostat can be turned down a notch with the Ploov under your buttocks.
What we didn't know - until recently - is that Stoov® also has a real home collection and that, in addition to being smart and sustainable, it is also beautiful. Something we honestly didn't expect, because... let's be honest: Often too little attention is paid to design with practical products. Not by the Stoov® people! The opposite even. Enjoy.
For all cold-cold people, people who want to use their garden for as long as possible and everything in between and beyond, the Ploov developed. The Ploov by Stoov® indeed.
Okay, there is also something like approaching thick dark clouds and a chilly wind to throw a spanner in the works. On those days we shake up the Ploov indoors. The sturdy cushion doesn't look out of place there, on the couch, and if you tend to set the thermostat to a high setting, the Ploov is a smarter move. Here's why: With a Stoov® product you heat yourself, not the entire room. This way you save energy and money. Plus: every degree the thermostat is lowered saves 7% annually on energy costs. According to Stoov® about the Ploov. So sustainable, that's right. The cushions have three heat levels (from minimum 34 degrees to a maximum of 42 degrees) and provide additional heating for up to six hours. And, also quite handy, the covers of the Ploov can simply be thrown in the washing machine.
