Cheap mains voltage thermostat

I would like to control a room heater by a thermostat which measures
the room temperature. The heater has a variable control but it seems
to measure the _heater's_ temperature rather than the room's.

I have a device named an "Arlec Thermoplug" which was ideal for the
purpose but which no longer works and is not now on sale. It is a
little larger than a double adapter and instead of a second power
point has an uncalibrated rotary control for the temperature.

Is there something similar I can buy? Is there an inexpensive mains
voltage thermostat which I could use by enclosing it in a plastic box
with a mains input plug and output socket?
