{Update} - Been using this daily since we bought it (about a month now). My wife has come to love it more than myself even though she was so against getting it. We've had no issues. Since I have a moisture proof mattress pad a and bed sheet over it, we've not had an occasion to clean it. We find that we don't need more than a 2 or 3 setting on the 1-10 dial. But then, we have a down comforter bedspread. So when we get into bed, the comforter really captures the heat well. I really like the turning it on when I get ready for bed. I have a habit of brushing my teeth after dinner so the bed is toasty by the time I get into bed. It's hard to describe how good the warm bed feels. Admittedly, I go to sleep pretty fast since I got this.Had this for another bed. I got this because I didn't want an electric blanket. I thought a blanket would be too hot and uncomfortable. I just wanted that reminded me of a warm floor or like the asian experience. In Korea for example, you sleep on electrically heated floors w/ no heated blankets.My wife absolutely didn't want it. So I was able to sell her on it because you can control the blanket 1/2's. There are two controllers for each 1/2. I gave her the controller for her side and put it on her night stand. Ha ha. After a week, she started to turn it on an hour before going to bed for both of us to warm up the blankets before going to sleep. She turns her side off when she gets into bed. I notice she puts hers on level 2. I put mine at 1.5 or so the whole night.For the pad itself, I put it directly on the mattress, then put a mattress protector over that followed by a standard fitted mattress sheet. If you run your hands over the sheet, you sort of feel the wiring, but clearly feels padded. The Pad itself is really thick and doesn't feel cheap. It feels very well made.Some reviewers have commented about the controller plug-in being in an awkward place. I chose to put it at the top of the bed where the pillows are. The plug is in the middle top on the top part of the pad. The part of the pad that stretches down to wrap around the mattress is a lighter more stretchy material. So I can see why you wouldn't build the electric plug in the lighter material area. We don't get bothered or feel the plug as it's near the edge of the mattress and between the pillows.The length of cables for the controllers is way long enough to reach the nightstands on each side. So from the pad, there are three cables. 1 for each controller and 1 for the electric cord.So, the one feature I do wish I had is a pre-heat button as in the more expensive version at slightly more than twice the price. Although the pad shuts off after 10 hours. I would have liked to have the pre-heat button with some ability to control that for 1, 2 or 3 hours length of time before the pad shuts off. I just think it would be nice to get into a warmed up bed and have the pad shut off a bit after I fall asleep.I think the next time I have to buy this, I would go for the pre-heat feature for convenience. I just hate that those features add so much to the price of the pad.For the price and what you get, this pad is a GREAT price and value. It's a great taster of how one would like the pad vs an electric blanket direction to be warm. For me... I love the pad heat more than an electric blanket.

When I get in bed on a cold night the mattress and fitted sheet are cold and stay that way for up to half an hour. If I change positions it gets cold again. The heated mattress pad helps this problem oby warming up the mattress, the sheets and the blankets above it. Your body acts as one source of active heat and the heated mattress pad as a second source of active heat. Fabric can act as an insulator and retain heat. Air tends to take heat away from a warm surface. To eliminate air touching your skin, and provide a layer of insulation, you can wear thermal underwear (or gym sweats), knit ski caps, gloves and socks. Flannel sheets are far warmer than regular cotton sheets and eliminate that “jumping into an icy river” feeling when you first get into bed or change positions. The side of the fabric touching your body tends toward body temperature. The side of the fabric exposed to air tends toward ambient (room) temperature. Several blankets allow your skin to stay warmer, each layer providing more insulation. The benefit of a thermal mattress pad over an electric blanket it that hot air rises and any waste heat tends to heat up your sheets and blankets. The downside is that electric blankets tend to break wires and fail open circuit, that annoying blinking light and no heat. Since your weight is on the wires in a thermal mattress pad it will probably fails sooner than an electric blanket. Because hot air rises, the heated mattress pad works better than an electric blanket. I still have my electric blanket on my bed, but I never use it anymore.

I had owned an older model Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pad for many years before the heating element on my side of the bed gave out. Only my wife was able to sleep warmly and comfortably! I ordered this pad to replace the old one and I am satisfied with the quality and overall performance. I have noticed that the heating element doesn't seem to fully extend to the end of the bed, so my feet sometimes aren't receiving much heat, but only when I'm lying flat on my back, which is not so often. I can feel the wires a little bit, but this is not really a problem and doesn't bother me at all. The temperature control that came with this pad was clunky and pretty difficult to operate, especially after you've lain down, because it's difficult to see and clumsy to turn the dial, which works like an old TV channel selector and "clicks" into position. However, I discovered to my delight that the new pad works with my older controllers, which are digital and operate by touch, so that problem was solved! (I did verify that both controllers operate at the same specs, so there was no danger in swapping them out, and the old connector fit perfectly into the new pad's receptacle as well.) The important thing for me was to replace my old, defective pad at a good price, and this one, along with my older controllers, did the job.

So, I did a lot of research on a mattress heated cover as we have had heated blankets before but never had a heated mattress pad before. We were looking for one as we live in a colder Northern climate and keep the night temperature of the room around 10-12 degrees Celcius, yep that cool. Well this mattress pad is very responsive gets very warm fast, not sure one could keep it on the higher settings for a long time, but it really heats up evenly and thoroughly. That said there is only one control, which may be an issue for some couples who have very different comfort levels. If you are looking to warm up your bed before you go to sleep and keep it warm and toasty while the cool air surrounds your bed, than this is a gem.

Es una excelente compra por su buen precio y calidad, no más frío con sus 10 niveles y brinda una seguridad al apagarse a las 10 horas muy recomendable.

Works really well but if you like your bed warm when you get in give at least 30 minutes to get up to temperature.Love the split controls so everyone is happy!Comfortable, but I do have a regular mattress cover over it.

This is a good quality product that is working very well. We have been using it for a month now. We live in the north and there is nothing quite like getting into a warm bed. The dual controls ensure that everyone is happy. It’s wonderful!
