BEST BED WARMER EVER

12 years ago

I grew up in the UPPA US and we always had electric blankets on the beds. About 20 years ago I discovered the electric mattress pad and have been using them every since. They are far superior to the electric blanket for several reasonsL

1. The heat is on top of the mattress and under the covers.
2. You don't waste electricity heating air.
3. You can turn it one 15 to 30 minutes before you get in and the bed is toasty warm
4. They fit all sizes of mattress just like mattress covers.

Fabulous product!! I like these heated mattress pads much more than heated blankets and always have. In the winter, these things take the chill right out of the bed before you get in. We turn it on an hour or two before going to sleep and it's just perfect. This mattress pad has a 10-hour auto-timer so you don't have to worry about turning it off - unless you get too warm of course. It has five levels and I'm finding level two or three is plenty. Turn it on and make sure the bed is "made" or the covers are covering the bed so the top covers/blankets also get nice and toasty.

We didn't have any issues getting this on a regular queen mattress - fits fine.

Favorite features:
- heating coils are all over, but their more concentrated in the bottom where your feet are - great design.
- Auto-off timer
- But, the winner is - my favorite feature has to be the dual remotes so we can adjust each side of the bed separately. I get hot easily at night but my better half is constantly cold.

We've also found that these work well in humid climates. Friends in the Caribbean and Florida swear by these for keeping the sheets dry. They only turn them on in the morning when they get out of bed. The sheets, mattress and pillows all dry quickly because of the low level heat. Wonderful for people like me who sweat a lot at night.
