If the cold winter nights are making you lose sleep, a heated mattress pad or electric blanket are just what you need. Here are some hot recommendations. First off, after 40 hours of research and testing, Courtney Schley at The Sweethome suggests you’re better off with a heated mattress pad instead of an electric blanket. Which isn’t too surprising considering heated pads are more efficient at warming your body, and your bedding helps insulate the heat they provide. If you’re looking to buy, The Sweethome recommends you go with one of two models from Sunbeam, particularly the Premium Quilted and standard Quilted models.If you prefer electric blankets, The Sweethome says Sunbeam takes the cake in that area too with their Velvet Plush blanket. But their runner up, JCPenney, makes a softer, albeit more cumbersome, option. You can see all of their picks and testing methodology at the link below. The Best Electric Blanket and Heated Mattress Pad | Photo by Matt Seppings. I find most beds too hard on holiday and thought I'd take a foam camping mat/ mattress topper or inflatable mattress.
But which type is best - it needs to be comfy on the bed, lightweight, easy to pack and reasonably priced. Any good suggestions please? That sounds like a lot to carry. Mattress toppers are bulky and inflatables heavy. Depending on where you are going, and for how long, it might be better to buy something when you arrive and just leave it behind. Thanks for the advice but I will find shopping difficult. I bought 2 different foam camping mats which weigh next to nothing but wondered which if either would work. I'll just have to open them and test. If they are no good I'll just have to waste my money. Just thought someone might have a good suggestiin. I really don't think there is much on the market that will change a "hard" mattress into a "soft" one. This has the advantage of packing into a small space and being thin enough to slide under a bed sheet and seems to provide her with enough support to take the edge of the hardness of continental mattresses. They are not cheap :-( but the cheaper versions seemed too bulky/heavy to pack in a suitcase.
They come in a variety of sizes and mens/womens models but if you are using it on a bed rather than on the ground camping you only really need the small/thin version. My mattress topper is huge and weighs several kilos - not a good idea! Self inflating camping mats take the edge of rocks and sticks sticking into you - that's about it. They certainly don't make the ground soft. If you wear yourself out during the day and are tired enough you will be able to sleep anywhere. Don't stress the little stuff. I have the same problem - beds in hotels, b&b's, holiday homes - all too uncomfortable. I've just been looking and discovered these travel toppers. Obviously haven't bought one yet but thought I'd share. I will be buying one to take away to Scotland later in the year! My husband simply asks the hotel for an extra duvet to put under the sheet which they can nearly always supply. Hi Just asking if you found one and how did you find it. Just lately i'v had trouble waking up in hotels with aching bones so i'v been thinking along the same lines as.
Where ever you went I hope you had a great time This used to be a problem for me too. I was so fed up with hard, lumpy or just uncomfortable cheap mattresses so I bought a mattress topper that I roll up. If I go abroad it goes in the hold. I dont mind paying for a bit extra baggage as I know I am guaranteed to be comfortable! That to me is far beter than spoiling my whole holiday with aching joints (especially hips) and worth every penny, after all we spend enough on extras when away, ie nice meals etc etc so why not spend a bit extra on quality comfort? oops posted before I finished.... I got my topper about 12 months ago from Comfort Solutions (bought online) it's got two layers of different foam which makes it really comfortable, even on the floor. Have recently bought one for my brother too. How much data does it take to use phone as a GPS Lightweight wheeled backpack ideas?
