We have been pretty chilled in our new house. It sat vacant for a long time, it has old windows (original 1940's if my guess is accurate) and the thermostat seems off so it is hard to regulate.
Anyway- our first two nights were pretty chilly. I finally broke down and bought a heated mattress pad. OMG! I am in love. I had it a bit too hot the first night and so did not sleep great- but last night was probably the best night's sleep I have had in a very long time. I am so happy with the purchase. It was a bit spendy- but in the long run I think it is totally worth the cost.

Alee- I got one as part of my Christmas and I use it every night. I understand about it being set to high and not sleeping too well...done that a few times. My feet sure do love being warm and toasty. I live a house built around 1880 and we to have the original windows (slowly replacing them) so if the wind blows the curtains move and I run for the covers :) Enjoy your warm bed!!

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

Also check your cords and visible wires to make sure that didn't get crimped over the warm weather season when you put it back on your bed next year.

Thanks, Alee. So it is similar to an electric blanket. I'll have to check it out.

Yes, it heats up both sides, but it has seperate controls for each user. So Doug can turn his up super hot and I can barely have mine on or even off if I like.

Alee- the only thing is my husband does not like the electric blanket in use on his side. So the quesiton is: does this matteress pad heat up both sides? Thanks, Alee.

Yes! It's like an electric blanket but a matteress pad instead so my husband can't steal it by rolling over ;) I am sure you can tell how I made the decision I did when looking at the options at the store! LOL

Is this light an electric blanket? Sounds cozy and warm.

I definitly think that I have been sleeping better. Last night I forgot to turn it on before bed and I was so happy when I felt it kick on :)

Isn't a warm bed just heavenly? I sure sleep better with added heat, too.

Hey Alee, I hadn't heard of this until I was visiting a friend last year in Iowa and she had one under the bed in my bedroom...I love that thing. It's not that crazy here, but I'll be getting one if I ever move anyplace colder!

we have one too & yes, on of the best moves I have made. We have had ours a few years & I used to turn mine up all the time, but now I am having hot flashes way too often so I have found that most nights I can leave my side off & my husbands side on is enough to keep us both warm. It also seems like we have less aches & pains when we wake up after sleeping on the heat all night. Our son(8) absolutely loves his too. |

We bought two electric fireplaces this year. The one in the living room was spendy. But my electric bill for Dec was 88.00. I could not imagine what it would have been had we used the electric heat. The other one is in Bri's room. I like my room cool.
