I just recently got a heating pad just for this purpose.
Its freezing here up in the NE. To save money (apartment has terrible insulation) I got
a heating pad with a 'stay on' feature.
Actually I had to get another one because my cat got the idea first and now its hers.

Turned the apartment heat down to about 55 (it stays around 60 for some reason), and I move the heating pad back and forth with from my office chair to my lazy boy multiple times a day.
Feels great, and I'm very very comfortable. It must cost almost nothing to run it all day, at least a lot less than heating a 3 bedroom apartment another 10 degrees.
