nice!
We've always put a heated blanket under our sheets, rather than over one, so when our last heated blanket died, we decided it was a good time to try a heated mattress pad like this one.
My only complaint is that it has a "bump" down by your feet, which can be distracting in the night. This is the receptacle for power- you can see it in the photos of this product.
Otherwise, it works well, puts out PLENTY of heat, and we don't feel the wires below us.
Warm and Toasty Nights
My husband and I love (LOVE) this heated mattress pad. We have a tempurpedic mattress which softens and conforms to one's body. Only problem is during the winter when it's cold, the mattress feels so hard. So, we came up with the idea of warming up the mattress before getting into bed with an electric blanket. But, when I saw the electric mattress pad with dual controls, I thought that would be the perfect solution.
We are very happy with our purchase. The pad heats up quickly and now our mattress is soft and warm. I am so glad we purchased the pad rather than the blanket. I am a person who gets cold easily but my husband gets pretty warm during the night, so he ends up tossing the covers, blankets and quilt onto me..... With an electric blanket that would have been just one more warming layer for him to toss off. The mattress pad is great because it is beneath us and with the dual controls, we can warm up the bed and then dial the controls to our own personal preference - he likes 2 and I keep it at 8. What's funny is that he didn't think he would even use it once the bed had been warmed. But he realized how much better he has slept and does not wake up with the aches and sore back pain that he used to wake up with. Now he raves about it to anyone who will listen. We both think that EVERYONE should own an electric mattress pad. We can't believe we suffered through so many cold nights without it.
Beats a heating blanket
Mattress pads with heat are terrific. Science proves that heat rises but the heat on your feet tells the tale. Bought this unit for my elderly mom to use on those cold winter nights. Wish it had more of a grid on the foot section. The Sunbeam model I bought does and it makes a "my feet are freezing" difference. This model heats up fine and shuts off after 10 hours as described. Great for those folks who might forget to turn it off. Washability was a strong selling point. Fit great on her thick mattress and the single control for her full sized bed was easy for her to use. I just wish I could mount it!
