We have found that a small ceramic space heater on the counter provides plenty of heat for the bedroom and saves propane when it really gets cold. We turn the thermostat down to about 60 for the heat pump / furnace and run the space heater on low. It takes less power than cycling the one heat pump does as little heat comes from the zone one location of the heat pump into the bedroom, particularly when it gets down to 40 or below until the furnace kicks in.
