Heated Mattress Pads - A Favorite Thing

Now that it's spring, at least here in the South, it seems an odd time to gush over sleeping with heat, but a heated mattress pad is the most wonderful invention ever and if you don't have one, you should remedy that situation!

Okay, so you have an electric blanket. It's not the same! Heated mattress pads are glorious. Queen and King-sized ones come with two sets of controls so you can adjust your side of the bed separately from your partner's. They stay right in place and don't slide off like an electric blanket can. I can't explain it but the heat is just more focussed and more fabulous with a heated mattress pad.

I turn mine on about an hour before I go to bed and turn it off just as I slide in. I'm sure everyone in the country can hear my sighes of contentment when my cold feet encounter all that toasty warmth. It's the most delicious feeling.

Heated mattress pads are available in the bedding department of many stores like Walmart, Target and KMart and a queen-sized one runs around $70 - $80. Now that it's spring, you might be able to get one on sale and have it ready to go for next fall. The first time you use it, you'll be thanking me!
