Do you have some designs posted someplace? I have Arduino experience but I don't know how to build anything for $3.

In the US the max a 110v outlet can pull is about 1500W so 700W is 50% or so for what's available. I'm with you though, those heaters are a stopgap at best. Base layers and clothes/blankets can help a lot though.
These also exist they're tables with an electric heater and a blanket attached (kotatsu). It won't do much for your upper body but they do a good job keeping your legs and core warm.
edit: everyone says kotatsu, that's great
Thanks for taking the time to reply! I'll dig into the diagram and set up a parts list. I'm using AeroGarden Farms right now but thinking simpler might be better long term.
