Woke up this morning feeling a bit damp but didn’t connect the dots until the water had soaked through a couple of layers all the way to the mattress. Bum.
I guess I didn’t seal the lid properly or something.
The rubber perishes over time. Especially round the input plug. If your bottle is more than a year old, it’s probably that. If the inside of the bottle is sticky it’s certainly that and bottle should be replaced.
That’s my biggest fear with those things! I’m glad you didn’t burn yourself, that could’ve been real nasty. I know modern ones have special covers and whatnot, but when I was a kid my mum had those real old-school ones and I was always scared of them.
My hot water bottle betrayed me!

dont shame it! These things happen as we get older.
