Sunbeam Electric Premium Water Resistant Restful Quilted Heated Mattress Pad, 12 Heat Settings, 12-Hour Selectable Auto Shut-Off, Fast Heating, Cozy Warming Bed, King, 76" x 80"

This is my second one in eight years. No problem with the last one and this one is even nicer. A bit of a nuisance to set up the cords to the controls, wish they were longer. Keeps me warm and cozy in cold months and was a lifesaver when I had the flu. Machine washable, takes a little care and time to dry but we'll with the effort. My old one works and I will keep it as a spare in case the new one fails. Highly recommend.

Forget electric blankets and running the heat until your nose dries up and bleeds. Buy one of these babies and start sleeping like a king! Want gentle heat? Set it at 3 or 4. Want to boil water on your bed? Set it at 20. It turns itself off automatically after 10 hours if you like and you can also pre-heat your bed to take the chill out before you retire. The pad is large enough to accommodate the thickest mattress and is well constructed. We have even washed it with no ill effects.I was concerned that I would feel the wires in the pad-- you really don't. The only evidence of this pad's electrical nature is the large connector plug which is at the very foot in the middle in a place you are unlikely to explore with your warm toes. This pad is far superior to any electric blanket I have tried. You sleep on your own sheets and under your own cover. The only difference is that your bed is magically warmed to the exact temperature you like. The warmth is not completely even but this appears to be by design. Whoever decided on the pattern of heat did a good job. If you buy the Queen or King size, you get two separate zones with two separate controllers so your significant other can create their own microclimate under the covers.If there was any disappointment, it is the fact that the controllers are connected to the pad (and to the wall plug) by wires. I would think that a wireless arrangement would be easy to do but perhaps the price point would have to be higher.The price of this wonder appliance is almost cheap--not too much more than an ordinary quality mattress pad and you are likely to save the cost in one season by simply lowering your thermostat at night and saving on utility costs while sleeping perfectly comfortably.Buy it.

I got this to replace a different brand of heated mattress pad that died after 5 years of use and I am so pleased with this! I like to sleep in a cold room with the ceiling fan on, but it can take me a long time to warm up in bed, so I like having a heated mattress pad to make my bed warm and cozy.After trying a heated mattress pad, I will be less likely to use a heated blanked, as I like being heated from below. I love that I can turn on the preheat mode as I'm getting ready for bed, and by the time I get in, my bed is cozy warm, like I'd already been laying in it.What I like:-It's padded so you really don't feel the wires like you do with the thin ones-The 20 heat settings-The preheat setting-It remembers your last heat setting, so you don't have to reset it every time you turn it on-It has auto shut-off so I don't have to remember to turn it off (my previous one would shut off & leave the light on, but this one actually turns off so there's no confusion)-There's 2 controllers, one for each side of the bed-There's just 1 plug for the 2 controllers, so you don't have to use up 2 outlets-The controllers are pretty compact, so they don't take up a lot of room-The controllers are lit up with just enough light to see it in the dark without it being too bright-It's waterproof/water resistant-It's washable-The plug at the foot of the bed has clasps on the sides to keep it from disconnecting-It fits our 14" memory foam mattress with plenty of room for a thicker mattressWhat I don't like so much:-The plug is at the foot of the bed in the center, so I do feel it a bit. Other reviewers said to place that end at the head of the bed, so that's an easy solution. We have a padded mattress pad over this heated one, so there's an extra layer of padding to reduce the feel of the plug on our feet.-It was a little challenging figuring out which controller went to which side. We just turned one on high and left the other off and usually I will write an R and L on the controllers for future reference.Regarding water resistant-ness: One of the dogs had an accident on our bed the other night. This was the bottom layer over the mattress and none of the urine got past it. Granted, the urine went through a comforter, sheets and mattress pad before getting to the headed mattress pad, but that's where it stopped, so it did what it was supposed to do. It washed and dried well.I looked at a lot of heated mattress pads and after reading reviews and comparing features, decided this would be the best option for me and I am not disappointed. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting a dual-zone heated mattress pad with pretty much all the features you could ask for.

I bought a new pad to replace an older sunbeam pad that was dying and giving us errors. I'll compare the old and new models as the reviews on this page cover both.The older models of this pad have a gray controller, the newer models have a white one. The older model had slightly different features, including a "pre-heat" setting that ran hotter for about 30 min before going back to the set heat level, and a "stay on" feature the prevented the pad from turning off. I can't recall the number of temperature settings, but we never used the upped end. The plug was 4 pins and slightly bulkier.On the newer model, there is no pre-heat or stay on. There is an auto shut off that can be set for 1-12 hours. There are 12 heat settings but I've never used higher than 6. The plug is 5 pins and thinner than the old model. The new model also seems to be much larger - the king fits a pillow top California King mattress with room to spare, while the older version barely fit.The pad works well so far. It warms up fast, you can't feel the wires under you, and with 2 control zones each partner can pick their own level. It's nice having a variable timer on the auto off, you can set it to warm for just a few hours and then stop. I take 1 star off because the new model have blue backlighting on the controls that cannot be turned off - blue light disrupts sleep, the light should either turn off on its own or be red. It's bright enough that I had to cover mine, which obviously makes it harder to adjust the controls.

Great option in a cold house. Plus no need to run the heat as high. I prefer a warm bed and cooler air anyway. I use this under the regular mattress protector pad. Long cords on the controller make it easy to adjust. And the added safety of auto shut off is stress-free.
