I prefer electric blankets.
I was talked into buying a heated mattress cover because every year like clockwork the electric blanket we bought the year before-- no matter how expensive-- fails to work properly. So I decided to try a heated mattress pad instead. This works well to heat up your bed but it's a bust as far as I am concerned to keep you wrapped in cozy warmth. For example, I suffer from cold feet. With an electric blanket my feet would get warm, with the electric pad my heels get hot but my feet never warm up. Everyone is different but for me personally I would never buy a heated mattress pad again.
