    I noticed in my dog supply catalog they are now offering sleeping mats that have a "thermo reflective material" in them to provide a warm sleeping place for old, arthritic dogs. I have an old arthritic dog so I bought 2 yds of insulbrite to try making bed covers or quilts for his sleeping comfort. Since I am also old and arthritic I decided to test it on my own bed first. I put it under my bottom sheet for a sleep test. It feels sooo good I will have to go back to Joanns for another 2 yds for Lad!

    I will have to try this too. I have a hip that gives me problems sometimes when it is cold outside.

    I love this idea, and I think that I'll make some for my back packing SIL. On top of an air mattress it may be very comfy.

    This is exactly how I end up spending money due to this board. :0) Thanks for the continuing references to Insul-bright.
