Our heating didn't work for months and I bought German hot water bottles for everyone (Fashy brand - very good). We're European, and use hot water bottles regularly, but are more suspicious of electric blankets. I think it's the reverse for Americans?

Anyway, my son, also 9, gets cold easily, and I bought the warmest down comforter on the Pottery Barn website, with a flannel sheet set, and we have cashmere or lambswool blankets to top it all off.

If you get a hot water bottle, put nearly boiling water inside, make sure to let the air out, close it well, and get one with a fleecy cover, since the quality of the cover determines the rate at which the bottle will lose heat.

I wrote the above. Below is what I bought for the kids. I place them where their feet should be inside their bed, wrapped up their PJs. That way when it's bedtime, they get into deliciously warm PJs and can then decide where to place their bottles - DD likes sleeping with the bottle next to her, DS likes it to warm his feet. I bought regular sized (full probably) cashmere and lambswool blankets and just drape them over their beds. I double them if they're really cold, and that way they fit better in their twin beds.
