A bed warmer or warming pan was a common household item in countries with cold winters, especially in Europe. It consisted of a metal container, usually shaped somewhat like a modern frying pan, with a solid lid. The container would be filled with hot water and placed under the covers of a bed, to warm it up or dry it out before use or was kept under the feet, then the legs and feet were tucked into a blanket.
