Cold hands and feet, Thermal clothing
Shiver, shiver in the office. The best tips for working chillies!
Is the heating at your office also set at 18-19 degrees? Because of the energy and climate crisis, many offices turned the thermostat down 2 years ago. Unfortunately, there is a group of people for whom this temperature feels really different. The nervous system of about 10% of people reacts more violently to cold. Do you also belong to this group of chilly people? We would like to help you with 6 creative solutions, so that you can work comfortably and pleasantly in the office again.
Tips for cold weather in the office
1. Warming tea
Just looking at a cup of steaming tea makes you feel warmer. Replace your regular tea with tea containing herbs that have a positive boost to circulation: choose tea with lemongrass, cinnamon or nettle. As your circulation gets better, your hands and feet will be less likely to get cold.
2. Heated thermal clothing
Wear thermal clothing under your regular clothes and choose a heated one. We have 2 types of heated pants; the ADVANCE model keeps your thighs and lower back warm and the MOTIVE model keeps your knees and abdomen warm. The MOTIVE shirt has heat zones on the upper back and lower back.

3. Move
In the office you sit still a lot, which slows down your circulation. Exercise is really the best way to stay warm. And bonus, because exercise is also good for your health and ability to concentrate. So take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk around a bit more often, who knows, maybe you’ll manage to exercise during your lunch break.
4. Heated pillow
In no time, your buttocks will be warm with an electric heated seat cushion. The heated seat cushion by HeatPerformance® provides 3 to 7 hours of warmth, depending on which of the 3 settings you use. The cushion can be rolled up and put in your handbag (unrolled size 40×31 cm) and taken to the terrace.
5. Heated insoles
If you’re a cold-hearted person who gets on your bike or in your car in the morning, chances are you’ll end up arriving at the office with cold feet. So keep the soles of your feet nice and warm. With a heated insole in your shoe , even your toes will stay warm. Prefer to step into the office wearing nice ankle boots? Then wear heated socks. Our thinnest one really fits any shoe.
6. Warm hands
Even though your fingers are moving a lot on your keyboard, unfortunately they don’t get warm. There is warming hand cream that supports blood flow to your hands. Another option are fingerless gloves, unfortunately these do not keep your fingers warm. Also a good option are our INDOOR gloves. These thin heated office gloves are specially designed for indoor use. The heat conductors run down the back of the hand and across the back of each finger. Thanks to the touchscreen fingertips, you can also use them behind your laptop.
