This heated mattress pad is incredibly comfortable on chilly evenings.   I like to warm up the bed with it. 15 to 20 minutes before I crawl in bed.   It provides a wonderful, soothing heat for me as I fall asleep.   The heat actually makes it easier to fall asleep and it is such a soothing feeling. I would highly recommend it for anybody who has trouble sleeping or does not like to crawl into a cold bed.   The pad is slightly fleece and really comfortable and soft.   The controllers provide a lot of options on heat in different settings that you can use
