Most of us are accustomed to heating the entire room or house during winter, but if you live alone or have extremely adaptable housemates you can save a lot of money by keeping the room temperature low and keeping yourself warm through extra layers or low wattage heating appliances such as heated mattress pads, heated keyboards and mice, and other devices. Permaculture website Rich Soil claims that an average single person can save around a thousand dollars a year by heating themselves and not the entire room. Author Paul Wheaton uses a combination of warm clothing, incandescent lights that produce heat as well as light, and various heating devices to keep warm while his 700 square foot house in Montana is set for 40 degrees Fahrenheit all winter. Before going to bed he turns on a heated mattress pad plugged into a 30-minute timer; his bed is luxuriously warm and when the timer shuts off he is comfortable from just his body heat and blankets. He has also experimented with using dog bed warmers and modifications of Japanese kotatsu heaters in his computer workspace.
Of course few will desire to go the extremes embraced by Mr. Wheaton in his experiments, but even if you set your thermostat to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and use one or two of the tricks above you can remain quite comfortable and pocket hundreds of dollars in energy savings.

Our fitted units have a skirt (of approximate 14″) all the way around the pad with elastic sewn all the way around the skirt to keep the pad securely stretched out on the bed. This deep skirt allows them to fit the new deep pillow top mattresses. If needed a deeper skirt can be customized for you at an additional charge of $5.

You get durable, quality products, backed by direct factory service, if ever needed. When it gets really cold, no other bed warming product can put so much heat in the bed, so fast. The rated volts, amps, and watts are shown in the table below. The 12 volt Comfort Control thermostat cycles the warmth on & off at short intervals. It pulls full rated amperage only when cycled on.
The amount of time it is cycled on versus off depends on the Comfort Control setting. Experience has shown that on average, it is cycled on less than 50% of the time. Since the rated amperage listed is maximum if it is on 100% of the time, the average load on the battery system is 50% or less of the rated amperage (reports of battery problems have been negligible in the 40 years we have made the 12 volt products). Cord length is 3 feet 6 inches from warmer to Comfort Control and 6 feet 8 inches from control to electrical plug. The 115 volt Comfort Control features quick warm-up on all settings, which include L for low, 2-9, and H for high. Depending on the setting you select, the control runs at maximum output for a period of time to quickly warm the bed. The automatic shut off feature gives you ten hours of continuous use before shutting off. Cord length is 12 feet from warmer to Comfort Control, 6 feet 8 inches from control to electrical plug. Cord length is 12 feet
