Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Long-time electric blanket user, first-time heated pad user. The heated mattress pad Is great! The heating pad is installed on the mattress, then a standard mattress pad is on top of the heating pad, then the bedsheet is over the standard mattress pad: mattress, heating pad, mattress pad, bedsheet. It has a pre-heat function that puts an even heat across the mattress before you slip into bed. After that, I turn it off. The heat that collects between the mattress and top blankets is sufficient to keep one warm all night. Therapeutically, the heat can be very soothing for back and legs. All heating levels achieve their limits fairly quickly and the heat is even across the heated pad. Preheat function - is very warm; L-1 is mildly warm; 2-3 is warm; 4-7 and above is noticeably very warm-bordering on too warm. The dual controls work perfectly. If one side is on and the other side is off: one side of the pad will be warm while the other side of the pad will remain cold. No heat "bleeds" across the elements from one side to the other.
