I bought this because pepper seeds need a really warm soil to sprout, and because I am heat intolerant, my house is a cool 67°F all year long. My rainbow bell pepper seeds sprouted and did amazingly well while on the heat mat, and I transferred them into my raised bed garden and they are thriving!!

This heat mat and controller have worked great for me. Seems accurate enough and heats up fairly quick. It does not roll up as easy as some other mats I have due to a bit of rigidity. It may mean the matt is stronger though. Either way it's not a big deal, just an observation.

Here are some tips and tricks for using the Bestio 10''x 20.75'' Seedling Heat Mat with 40-108°F Digital Thermostat Combo Set:Use the digital thermostat: The digital thermostat allows you to set the temperature range for your plants or reptiles. Make sure to use it to keep the heat mat at the desired temperature range.Keep the heat mat clean: It's important to keep the heat mat clean to prevent the buildup of dirt and debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe it down regularly.Use the mat for plant propagation: The heat mat is perfect for starting seeds or rooting cuttings. Simply place the mat under your seed trays or pots to provide gentle heat to encourage root growth.Use a timer: If you're using the heat mat for plant propagation, consider using a timer to turn it on and off at specific intervals. This can help ensure your plants don't overheat.Consider using a temperature probe: If you want to monitor the temperature of your plants or reptiles more closely, consider using a temperature probe. This will allow you to get a more accurate reading of the temperature on the heat mat.Place the heat mat on a level surface: To ensure even heating, make sure to place the heat mat on a level surface. This will help prevent hot spots and ensure that all of your plants or reptiles are getting the same amount of heat.Use a moisture barrier: To prevent water damage to the heat mat, consider using a moisture barrier underneath it. This will help protect the mat from spills or leaks.Use a heat mat cover: If you're using the heat mat for reptiles, consider using a heat mat cover to prevent them from coming into direct contact with the mat. This can help prevent burns or other injuries.

Really happy with this heat mat. Anyone that keeps reptiles responsibly knows how fast the expenses add up. This mat offers a safe and cost-friendly way to keep your scaly friends warm without the fear of burns. The thermostat interface has a bit of a learning curve, but it's not difficult once you get the hang of it. Just be sure to keep the booklet on hand and you'll be just fine. The 10x20 with thermostat works wonderfully for our Leopard Gecko in his 40B habitat.

Works great. Just got second one. Hoping everything is great longevity wise, but so far works great. Does everything as described.

I grow ginger and turmeric in the Northeast, starting the rhizomes in January. They need 70-80F soil temperatures to sprout, and I heat the house to no more than 65, so heating the soil is a must. Last year I put an old kitchen table in front of the pellet stove and used racks to raise up the soil trays so the heat would flow under them. It worked, but took up way too much space in the living room. This year I ordered 2 heat mats, this Bestio one (including the thermostat/ probe) and another basic mat that came without a thermostat and a soil temperature probe. So it was easy for me to conduct a side-by-side test by moving the temperature probe between the 2 trays/ 2 mats.So my homemade pallet wood trays are about the size of a standard 1020 tray, which these heat mats are designed to fit. They are 5†deep wooden boxes with a short metal drip pan underneath. I use the plastic dome covers to keep heat and moisture in as much as possible. So about 4 inches of soil in a 10x20 inch box is quite a bit of soil. It takes a while to heat up. The heat has to pass through the metal pan, a good conductor, and the wooden bottom of the box, a not so good conductor, and then into the soil.This Bestio mat keeps the soil temperature pretty consistent around 71F after allowing plenty of time to heat up. This is with the thermostat temp cranked all the way up to 108F (it’s highest setting) and the room temperature reading around 63. I’m reasonably ok with that performance, since there is a lot of soil to heat, as I said. But the other mat kept the soil warmer, consistently at 75F. I noticed a lot of 1020 mats on Amazon rated at 20 watts of power. This Bestio mat did not specify, but I’m guessing it’s 20 watts. The other mat is rated at 21 watts. That may very well be why it is achieving higher temperatures - only makes sense.I do like the thermostat and especially the temperature probe, which comes in very handy. And if I’m ever germinating seeds in a cooler space and need to keep temps in the 60’s, for example, this mat will fit the bill better. But for ginger and turmeric sprouts in January, the 21 watt mat is the better choice.I rated the Bestio set, mat plus thermostat and probe, 4 stars.

works great. Seeds in dome covered trays all germinated rapidly when I used this mat. Only word of caution: be careful the thermostat is securely placed where you want that heat. Mine slipped out from under tray and was measuring room temperature over one night, causing mat to continuously stay on and get to 92+ F. Lesson learned, secure the cords better!

The mat works as it should. There is no where to hook up or install the thermostat. It’s basically useless with this mat. Used the mat. Tossed the thermostat.
