Winter is a season for cozy nights, warm drinks, and quality time at home—but it also brings colder temperatures and dry indoor air. At Redfern US, we believe your home can be both a warm haven and a wellness retreat, even during the chilliest months.
This Winter Comfort & Wellness Guide shares practical, easy-to-follow tips to help you stay cozy, comfortable, and healthy all season long. From efficient heating and soothing massage devices to fresher air and simple self-care ideas, these tips reflect Redfern’s comfort-focused approach to everyday living. Let’s get started.
Tip 1 : Warm Up Your Home with Efficient Infrared Heaters
Infrared heaters are a smart way to enjoy warmth exactly where you need it—indoors or out. Powerful enough to heat patios, gazebos, or garages, they let you enjoy winter gatherings without the shivers. Indoors, infrared heaters deliver focused warmth that’s perfect for relaxing with a book, watching a movie, or working from home on cold days.
Unlike traditional heaters that warm the air (which then rises and escapes), infrared heaters use radiant heat to warm people and objects directly. This means you feel the warmth almost instantly, without needing to crank up your central heating system.
One of the biggest advantages of infrared heating is energy efficiency. Because very little heat is lost to drafts or ceilings, you stay warm using less electricity. Many homeowners pair an infrared heater with a lower thermostat setting to help reduce heating costs. Another bonus? Infrared heaters don’t dry out the air or blow dust around, so the warmth feels more natural and comfortable.
Portable and versatile, many models can be moved from room to room—or even used outdoors—making infrared heaters an easy, eco-friendly way to stay snug all winter.
Tip 2: Soothe Winter Aches with At-Home Massagers
Cold weather often brings tight muscles and aching joints. From tensing up against the cold to spending more time indoors, winter can take a toll on your body. That’s where at-home massage devices really shine.
Using a massager helps increase blood circulation, warming cold muscles and easing stiffness in the neck, shoulders, back, and legs. Improved circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to sore areas, while gentle massage also reduces stress and tension. Even a short session can help melt away the day’s aches and lift your mood.
Redfern offers a range of convenient massage solutions, from BACKplus neck and back massagers to foot massagers that revive tired, cold feet. After shoveling snow or spending hours on your feet, slipping into a heated foot massager feels incredibly soothing. Massage guns are also great for loosening muscles after winter workouts or long days.
Think of these devices as self-care made simple—safe, easy to use, and always ready when you need them. Pair a massage session with a soft blanket and a warm drink, and you’ve got the perfect winter wind-down routine.
Tip 3: Keep Your Winter Wardrobe Fresh and Cozy
Winter comfort isn’t only about staying warm—it’s also about feeling clean and comfortable in what you wear. Heavy sweaters, scarves, blankets, and coats tend to get a lot of use during the colder months, and refreshing them can make a big difference.
Steam irons and garment steamers are excellent tools for winter care. The heat helps remove wrinkles, eliminate odors, and reduce bacteria and dust mites in fabrics—especially helpful for items that aren’t washed often. A quick steam can revive a wool coat, freshen throw blankets, or make flannel sheets feel crisp and inviting.
Steaming also helps reduce static cling, a common winter annoyance caused by dry air. Redfern’s Eurosteam Next Generation Iron heats up quickly and works on a wide range of fabrics, making it easy to keep winter essentials feeling fresh.
Little touches—like warming sheets before bed or steaming curtains—add an extra layer of comfort that makes winter living more enjoyable.
Tip 4: Combat Dry Air and Breathe Easy
Heating your home in winter often leads to dry indoor air, which can cause itchy skin, static shocks, irritated sinuses, and general discomfort. Indoor humidity levels can drop below 30%, while the ideal range for comfort is closer to 40–50%.
Adding moisture back into the air makes your home feel warmer and healthier. Humidifiers or evaporative air coolers with humidifying functions can help restore balance while also filtering dust and allergens. Even simple solutions—like placing bowls of water near heat sources or adding houseplants—can improve indoor humidity.
Redfern’s IQ Pure Breeze air coolers, for example, can be used year-round to support cleaner, more comfortable air. A bit of daily ventilation, even for just a few minutes, also helps refresh indoor air without drastically lowering room temperature.
Balanced humidity supports easier breathing, healthier skin, and a more comfortable living space all winter long.
Tip 5: Create a Cozy Spa Experience in Your Bathroom
Few things beat the winter chill like a warm, soothing shower. Shower upgrades and accessories can turn everyday routines into a spa-style experience — perfect for comfort and wellness during colder months.
Redfern’s shower heads and handheld units elevate your bathroom experience. The handheld models offer dual spray modes — a powerful saturating spray for an energizing rinse and a water-saving “Oxygenic” spray for a gentler, spa-like mist. Their long hoses and removable designs make it easy to direct water where you need it, whether rinsing yourself, cleaning the shower, or even bathing pets. Rain-style fixed shower heads provide wide, gentle coverage for full-body comfort. Most units include easy installation features, like diverters and suction mounts, for a quick setup.
Add small comforts like warm towels, soft lighting, or calming scents to enhance the spa experience. By upgrading your shower setup with Redfern products, you can create a relaxing bathroom retreat that supports both comfort and wellness all winter long.
Tip 6: Stay Active Indoors to Beat the Winter Blues
Keep moving even when it’s cold outside. Short indoor workouts boost energy and circulation—which also helps warm your body from the inside. For example, simply walking around your home or climbing stairs for a few minutes can raise your heart rate, improve circulation, and stimulate your lymphatic system. Fitness expert Lindsey Bomgren notes that walking is a great winter activity to boost both energy levels and mental clarity.
Adding gentle strength and flexibility exercises at home also makes a big difference. Simple bodyweight movements like squats, push-ups, planks, or basic yoga stretches help prevent stiffness and lift your mood—both especially important in winter. Regular movement supports immune health and helps combat seasonal blues.
You don’t need fancy equipment to stay active. Online workout videos, walking in place, light stretching, or even dancing to music all count as effective ways to move your body. Aim for about 15–30 minutes of activity per day to keep your joints limber, your circulation flowing, and your mood bright.
Easy indoor exercise ideas:
-
Walk in place or use the stairs: March in your living room or do step-ups for 5–10 minutes at a time to increase steps and energy.
-
Stretch and mobility work: Gentle neck, hip, and shoulder stretches (like cat–cow or seated rotations) help reduce aches from staying indoors too long.
-
Simple bodyweight circuits: Squats, lunges, wall sits, or calf raises during TV commercials keep muscles active and your body warm.
By staying active indoors, you support both comfort and overall wellness—and naturally generate extra body heat to feel warmer during winter days.

Winter Comfort & Wellness FAQ
1. How can I keep my home warm in winter without increasing my heating bill?
Focus on heating the spaces you use most instead of your entire home. Using energy-efficient heaters like infrared heaters, sealing drafts around doors and windows, and lowering your central thermostat slightly can help reduce energy costs while keeping you comfortable.
2. Why does my skin feel so dry in winter and how can I fix it?
Winter air holds less moisture, and indoor heating further dries the air, which can lead to dry skin, itchy eyes, and irritated sinuses. Using a humidifier, taking warm (not overly hot) showers, and moisturizing daily can help restore moisture and improve comfort.
3. What is the ideal indoor humidity level during winter?
Most experts recommend keeping indoor humidity between 40% and 50% in winter. This range supports easier breathing, healthier skin, and a more comfortable living environment.
4. Are infrared heaters safe and energy efficient for home use?
Yes. Infrared heaters are designed to safely warm people and objects directly rather than heating the air. This makes them energy efficient and comfortable, especially for spot heating in living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices.
5. How can I relieve body aches and stiffness during cold weather?
Cold temperatures often tighten muscles and joints. Gentle daily movement, warm showers, stretching, and using at-home massagers can improve circulation, ease tension, and reduce winter-related aches.
6. How can I improve indoor air quality during winter?
Improving ventilation, maintaining balanced humidity, cleaning filters regularly, and using air-circulation devices can help reduce dust, dryness, and stale air. Houseplants and short daily air exchanges can also refresh indoor air.
7. What are easy ways to stay active indoors during winter?
Walking in place, using stairs, stretching, yoga, light strength exercises, and short home workouts are simple ways to stay active. Even 15–30 minutes of movement a day supports circulation, mood, and overall wellness.
8. How can I make my home feel cozier in winter?
Layering blankets and rugs, using warm lighting, keeping humidity balanced, adding comforting scents, and creating relaxing routines like warm showers or evening stretches can instantly make your home feel more cozy and inviting.
