Hay, I apologize for my bad English. I just wanted to worn you folks that the heated bench can be unhealthy to men's fertility (I hope I said it ok) . The heat can harm men's ability to have children. Maybe it is better to build a mass wall or underfloor heating insted.

I think that may only be when he's currently trying to produce a child - I don't think being too warm has any permanent effect - otherwise hot baths and saunas would have caused lots of sterile men!
