Op here. I got the SoftHeat Micro Plush from Amazon. Loving it! |
| I have the Sunbeam one. Got it at Costco. |
| This is the stuff of dreams for someone with a low BMI and poor circulation. I have been going to bed with two hot water bottles for years now. Thanks for the heads up! |
same!! I sleep with a ceiling fan all through the winter too because I hate being hot! |
| Electric blanket is good too. I turn it on before bedtime, and then off when i get into bed. Thermostat on 60 at night. Warm bed plus duvet, cool air. Heaven. |
This is me as well! I love it to be cold at night as I over heat once I fall asleep. That said, I like the idea of entering a toasty bed so the PP who turned it on an hour before bed and then turned it off, had a great suggestion! As much as I like it to be cold while I sleep, I don't over heat UNTIL I am asleep, prior to that I like to be all bundled up. |
| Is it a fire hazard at all? If not, will get some for everyone's rooms. |
| Just don't sleep with it on. It is meant to heat the bed then you let your body heat keep the bed warm. |
| Mine turns off automatically - keeps it from being a fire hazard. The first year I had one, I was pregnant and it definitely kept my joints from being so achy it was nice! |
They are low voltage. I leave mine on a night and and it automatically switches off at 12 hrs. They are better than the electric blankets IMO |
Why is the mattress pad better? A blanket seems more versatile. You can use the blanket under you or on top of you. |
Same. I need a cooling mattress pad. |
That I would buy! |
| I'm obsessed. The heated blankets were always scratchy. I can't sleep without it. Our favorite thing is to turn the heat down and crank up the electric mattress pad. Cool faces and warm bodies! |

I have a thing against electricity near my bed.
What about those fluffy wool mattress pads? Saw a few in catalogs. They must retain heat quite well, no? |
