Can you put boiling water in a hot water bottle?

The time a hot water bottle stays warm for depends on various factors such as material, shape, size and whether a cover or blanket is used. That said we typically see hot water bottles emitting heat for anywhere up to around 5-6 hours with thermoplastic bottles with covers or blankets lasting the longest.

If properly used and looked after, there is no reason why your hot water bottle cannot be used safety for many years. That said, as a rule of thumb and for safety reasons, we recommend replacing your hot water bottle every two years as the bottle may gradually develop imperfections over time increasing the risk or leaks and bursts.

There are two quick checks that you should make to ensure that a hot water bottle is safe to use before you use it for the first time. Firstly, ensure that the body of the hot water bottle contains mark of the relevant safety standard (BS1970:2012) on its body to prove that it was manufactured to strict standards. Secondly, check for any obvious signs of damage such as tears as this could lead to burns when pouring handling hot water.

Hot water bottles can provide a lot of benefits if used correctly and safely. Hot water bottles cannot only keep you warm, but can also improve your sleep as well as help you relax, unwind and reduce stress. Hot water bottles are also used frequently for both hot and cold therapies to ease aches and pains including arthritis, sports injuries, digestive issues and period pain.
