Nothing Better Than A Warm Bed On A Cold Day
We moved to Massachusetts from Arizona so that I could attend graduate school and we'd never experienced a real winter before. Goodness gracious you people live with this kind of cold?! I bought us heated blankets, but you're not supposed to bring those into bed. I found this heated mattress pad and bought it even though I initially thought it was kind of expensive. Oh my goodness it is Worth It. 100% Worth It. Nothing is better than turning it on to pre-heat the bed while you get ready to go to sleep and then coming to bed and sliding between the nice, toasty covers, warming your freezing, weary bones before you turn the temperature down to something you can sleep the night through without being too warm. The biggest challenge is finding the motivation to slide out of the nice, still heated bed in the morning and face the crisp bedroom air to start your day.<br /><br />The other comments are correct, the place that the power cord attaches to the mattress pad is at the same level as your feet. Just scootch more towards the middle of the bed and it won't be a problem, or pull the mattress pad farther down on your bed so it curves around it a little bit. It's really not that big a deal to me. The power cord is plenty long, so even though it attaches at the foot of the bed, the cord will reach all the way up to the head of the bed to plug in if that's where your outlet is located.<br /><br />It does take a while to heat up, so I would definitely recommend pre-heating it before you climb into bed, but once it's preheated it's delightful. It is a more gentle heat than the heated blankets that we use, so bear that in mind.<br /><br />Oh, I guess I should also add, the only downside is that the display light is really bright blue and a little blinding in the middle of the night, and the white lights for each of the three buttons are really bright, but we keep them covered up with a cloth so that they don't bother us and that works just fine.<br /><br />I don't know if this heated mattress pad is the best ever because it's the only one that I've owned, but we're starting our second winter in Massachusetts and I can definitely say that I'm one happy customer knowing that I get to go to a nice warm bed every night.
