The cosy lab heat belt combines style with comfort.

Filled with New Zealand-grown chemical-free lupin seed, and using natural linen and cotton fibres, the heat belt can be heated and applied to the lower back / stomach / or hip area. Contains no wheat.

The ten panels of lupin seed allows heat to distribute evenly, and a wide 'velcro' strap ensures the belt to remain firmly in place without moving around.

Each heat belt is made from 100% linen on one side, and a soft black cotton drill on the other side. Each belt weighs approximately 1kg each.

Free freight for total order spend over $100 (urban) and over $115 (rural delivery).

What are heat bags?

The cosy lab heat bags are designed to help you relax at the end of the day!

Each heat bag is filled with New Zealand-grown lupin seeds, a type of legume.

Heat bags can either be put into the microwave and heated, or cooled in the freezer. Once heated, the user can apply heat bags to tired muscles which gently soothes and relaxes.

Why do we use lupin seeds in our heat bags?

Lupin seeds retain their heat for longer than wheat, are odourless and don't sweat when heated in a microwave. They are also allergy-friendly for Coeliacs (coeliacs have an immunological response to gluten), or anyone who is Gluten-sensitive.

However, because lupin seeds are from the legume family, people with nut allergies should avoid use. If you are an allergy sufferer and in doubt please contact your physician before buying our heat bags.

How to use

Heat in the microwave

Simply pop your heat bag in the microwave for the correct time specified on the instruction sheet. Make sure the pack is as spread out and flat as possible to get even heat distributed through it. It’s really important to make sure your turntable inside is rotating during the heating process - if it doesn't turn your heatbag may burn.

WARNING: Please be warned that heat bags are a fire and burn hazard and must be treated with care. Heat bags should not be overheated, nor should they be placed into the bed because there is a risk that they could catch fire. For safety reasons, heat bags should not be heated in the oven.

Please carefully follow these instructions.

Test after 1 minute

Put your heat bag in the microwave. After 1 minute test your heat bag to see if it’s warm enough. If after a 30 seconds wait you think it needs a bit longer put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. See heating times below.

Heatbag	Microwave 700 Watts	Microwave 850-1000 Watts
Small 5 panel heat bag	2 minutes	1.5 minute
Large heat bag	3 minutes	2 minutes
Shrug (shoulder) heat bag	3 minutes	2 minutes

NB. We don’t recommend using an oven as it’s not as safe as a microwave. If you accidentally leave it in the oven unattended there’s a chance it could smolder or catch on fire.

Try a cold pack in the freezer

You can also use your heat bags as a cold pack. Simply store it in the freezer and then apply to bruises, or strains. If your health condition is serious please seek professional medical advice.

Safety Points and Heat Bag life

Please be careful and follow these safety warnings::

Don’t over heat your heat bag. It’s not designed to be extremely hot so please don’t put it in the microwave for any longer than 2-3 minutes.
Always check the temperature before using the heat pack directly on your skin.
Do not use your bag if you notice a burnt smell. If you notice this happening it is definitely time to replace your heat bag.
We recommend replacing your heat bag after every one to two years of use, depending on how often the bag is used.
Bags that are used often, should be replaced within a year, depending on wear and tear. If the fabric is worn or frayed, it should be replaced.
Make sure you store your heat bag in a dry place
Never heat your bags in the oven.

Washing

Our large rectangular heat bags come with a removable cover which can be gently hand washed in cool water, and laid flat to dry. The foot cosy cover can also be gently handwashed in warm water, and laid flat to dry. Do not use a dryer.

Do not wash the inner bag which is filled with lupin seed.

The heated shrug, heatbelt and inner bag of the foot cosy can be spot cleaned with warm water only.
