Review of ElectroWarmth Heated Mattress Pads

Customer Ratings:

I'm a big fan of heated mattress pads (vs electric blankets). They seem to last longer (I've had several electric blankets break in the last few years), the heat is more even, and I like the heat from below rather than above. I've used an electric mattress pad on my own bed for several years now and been very happy with it. I picked up this twin-size pad for my 8 year old son, who was envious of my warm bed. He loves it! We turn it on about 15 minutes before bed, and he always climbs into a warm bed. We usually turn it off after he gets into bed, but on some cold nights he's left it on "Low" and gone right to sleep. It's a great feeling to have a warm bed, especially when the house is cold!

Update, 3 years later:

Unlike other electric blankets and mattress warmers I've purchased over the last 15 or so years, this one is STILL heating like new! I do have a couple of gripes that may or may not be issues for you:

The skirt that keeps the warmer snug against the mattress is a bit flimsy. After seasonally changing it a few times, the stitching ripped out along one edge. Ever since, I've been careful to treat it gently, and it hasn't gotten worse, so just remember to actually walk around your mattress to remove it from each corner, and don't try to whip it off the corners from the opposite side of the bed. But this isn't why I've lowered my rating.

You can't use this warmer with a timer or any sort of remote-operated outlet (like a home-automation, x-10, z-wave, insteon, or wifi outlet, or even a switched outlet). If the power to your outlet has been off, and gets switched on, the warmer still has to be manually turned on with its controls. Why is this a big issue for me? Well, I've been installing home-automation switches and outlets so that I can turn devices on and off with my iPhone, and this is definitely one of those devices that I want to control remotely (or even put on a timer). I frequently forget to trudge upstairs and turn the warmer on an hour before bed, and I'd like to be able to do it while watching TV downstairs, or simply have the knowledge that a simple timer will do it for me. Hence, I'm dinging them, in the hope that you, like I, find 3-star reviews to be the ones with the most helpful information for otherwise potentially great products.

I spoke with an Electrowarmth representative who said that this feature has been requested (although infrequently), and that she knew of no plans to alter the functionality. If this feature is important to you, please call them and request it!

Having tired of climbing into a cold bed during the winter and having to crank up the expensive to run furnace, I was interested in a quality heated mattress pad.

Suffice it to say, Electrowarmth delivers a fine quality USA made safe product that works exactly as advertised. It warms to set temp in about 10 minutes or so and keeps it constant all night. The fully electronic control means no annoying clicks and it is softly lit when you press the temperature buttons. The light glows for about 10 or so seconds then goes off.

The unit will run 10 hours once you turn it on. If you turn off but leave it plugged in, it will remember your last setting from L to H with 1-9 in between.

The only disadvantage I can see is the fact the wiring on the control means it is placed backward on the nightstand.

Given the fact I sleep with a comforter and a cotton top blanket, the setting marked 4 is more than enough to warm the mattress.

The cords are amply long to reach from bottom of bed to unit and still reach an outlet close by. It is machine washable and UL listed.

I recommend this product made in America, highly.

I purchased this queen mattress pad because it had the option of having only one remote and that's what I really wanted. It was intended to be for my second home as I already have one in my main home. When I opened this pad today I could immediately feel the wires in it right through the fabric. It also has a big direction/warning sheet (approx 6x8 in size) that's made of very stiff paper right on the top corner of the pad so when you are in bed, it would end up being right under your pillow where you could certainly feel it (and hear it) through your sheet. After paying twice the amount as I did my original mattress pad, I would expect at least equal or better quality. This one is already in the package to be returned. The cheaper pads out there are far better than this one!

Honest reviews on ElectroWarmth Heated Mattress Pads

The pad is well construced. The duel control for the full size bed was a must and glad to have found one. The heating is great. But we have a problem. We can't keep the bottom sheet in place due to the shiny and slippery covering of the pad. It is a constant battle. Every time one of us turns over or moves around the sheet either bunches up or comes off the edges, top, bottom or sides. Very aggravating. We would like to have a solution. We have tried different sheet fabrics.

Works well, warms the bed nice... one review said the tag was on the top, and they could feel it while sleeping. Ours is at the bottom, don't even know it's there. Wires are barely noticeable.
