We had a hot water bottle burst this week. My wife woke up to soggy feet and the water had penetrated right through the mattress. The bottle was empty and probably slowly leaking all night. It took much of the day to dry the mattress out. On inspection we found the rubber had perished, probably as the bottle was around five years old. The replacement cost less than £10, including fluffy cover. We'll be sure to inspect this one more frequently when filling. Not only does the bottle provide her warmth, to helps ease the pain in her arthritic feet.
