Homemate Queen Size Electric Heated Mattress Pad - 5 Heat Settings, Coral Fleece, Dual Controller & Auto-Off (10 Hours) - Fits Up to 21" Deep, 80"x60" - Perfect for Cold Sleepers & Winter Bed Warming

We have used electric blankets and electric mattress pads for years. Our last mattress pad, when new, was great, but after about ayear, stopped heating everywhere. It had three zones per side, which was excellent until 2 of the zones stopped working. The phone and website for the mfg, printed on the mattress pad tag was called, and they denied owning the model, despite evidence otherwise, and the pad was discontinued. So I wanted another pad, but did not want an expensive one and I wanted it to work. I tried this one because the price was ridiculously low, the adjustable auto off feature was nice, and it had separate controls for left and right on a Queen size bed. I was expecting a low cost pad, but figured it would do till I could find a better one. Fall is cold here in northern NJ, and my wife needs the extra warmth. Despite the low cost, the blanket is well made. They have nice covered holes for the wire to exit from under the pad, the controls are simple but work well. There are 10 heat levels (L,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,H), and the auto off timer can be adjusted to 1,2,4,6,8 hours till auto off. The lowest heat level (L) is warmer than I expected, not as low as many models, but not anywhere near uncomfortable. I use level 2, which is about midrange heat on my previous heated pad. Level H is quite warm. Not burning hot, but like a mid level setting on a heating pad. I preheat the bed with level H, and the bed is quite toasty at first. I have issues with muscle pain, and I keep it at H for a while if my pain level is high. Most times I set it to 2 when I get into bed. The residual H heat level makes for a comfortable entry into bed and level 2 keeps me warm for the next 2-4 hours. That is what is nice. After about 2-4 hours, I am usually too warm and wake up and turn off the heating blanket/pad. With this unit I have it go off automatically after 2 hours, and I sleep comfortably the rest of the night. The pad contruction is better than the price suggests, but is not as good as the units that cost 5 times more. It fit my 12 inch Thick mattress perfectly and looks like it would fit a 15 inch just fine. So lots of heat, Good Value, fits as promised, controls work as designed. At this point I stopped looking for another unit that is "better" as this one meets my needs.
