bedwarmers

Cozy sleep accessories

Bedwarmers are devices or people that warm a bed before someone gets in.

Historically, a bedwarmer was a covered metal pan filled with hot coals, passed between the sheets.

The term extends to anything that pre-warms a sleeping space: electric blankets have replaced the old bedwarmers.

Figuratively, a bedwarmer is a sexual partner kept mainly for warmth or convenience, with dismissive connotations.
