This is the best heated mattress pad out there if you are looking for something to help with aches and pains, especially ailments like back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis and or circulatory problems. This mattress pad is also a great option for people who only want to heat up their feet.

Need to Know:

This model has all the standard features of all of the top products including: 10 heat settings to choose from, dual controls on the sizes queen and king, auto-shut off and the pre-heat function. The quality and design are otherwise excellent and you won’t be disappointed. The really unique selling point on this mattress pad is that it has 3 separate heating zones (neck and shoulders, full back, or legs and feet) then within each zone you get 10 heat settings so you can target the heat to any problem areas. It is also super comfortable with 100% cotton top with a 200 thread count as well as a 100% polyester fill.

What Reviewers Love

There is the general problem of defective products that you come across with all heated bedding where for the most part they are great, but you do get some lemons that won’t work at all.
If you are very tall, then the connector at the feet may bother you and you may want to look for another pad that has a connector in a different position.
Some users find that the mattress pad can get too warm (could be a pro for some) even on the lowest settings, so if you are very sensitive to heat that may be something to consider.
Although having a wireless controller is very convenient for most users, you will have to replace the batteries on it.
There are also reports that the settings on the remote are hard to see without assistance from additional light.
