Question: What is the difference between an ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer and an electric blanket?

Answer: An electric blanket is used as a covering. The ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) is used under the bedding like a fitted sheet or mattress pad. You sleep ON it, not UNDER it. The ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) attaches directly to your mattress, and is covered up by your normal bedding. ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmers (heated mattress pads) are much more energy efficient than an electric blanket because of the way they are used. Your covers hold in the heat that rises from below. The heat from an electric blanket rises from above you, and most of it escapes into the room.

Question: My home heating costs are high, will an ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) cost me more for electricity?

Answer: No. In fact, with an ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad), you can turn down the heat in your home during the night and still sleep comfortably. By turning down the heat in your home, you will not only save on heating fuel costs, but your furnace blower, refrigerator and freezer will also run less in a cooler house. This will help reduce power costs.

Question: How do I know what size ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) I need?

Answer: The model number of each ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) indicates its width. All ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmers (heated mattress pads) are sized to fit the bed indicated. For example the model M38 F measures 38 inches wide by 74 inches long, and can be used for a twin sized mattress or on one side of a split king-sized mattress. A model 38FL measures 38 inches wide by 80 inches long and a model 38FXL measures 38 inches wide by 84 inches long to accommodate longer bed lengths.

Question: What do the ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmers (heated mattress pads) look like?

Answer: The ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmers (heated mattress pads) very much resemble a fitted mattress pad. They are made of white material, and are about 1/4 inch thick. They are like a fitted sheet and have extra cloth at the head of the bed that allows the warmer to cover the entire mattress. They have elasticized corners to hold them in place. ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmers (heated mattress pads) are quilted around the heating wires. This is done in such a way that you do not feel the wires when you are laying on them.

Question: Are ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmers (heated mattress pads) washable?

Answer: Yes. ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmers (heated mattress pads) are machine washable. Since the bedwarmers are used underneath your bed coverings, there is usually not much need to clean them on a regular basis.

Question: Are they safe if something is spilled on them (or a child wets the bed)?

Answer: Yes. The heating element wires within the bedwarmers are shielded. In the case of bed wetting, however, there is also a cleanliness issue. We recommend covering the ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) with a rubber sheet such as can be purchased at numerous department and discount stores. The rubber sheet will help keep the ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) clean and will reduce the need for frequent washings.

Question: How does the ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) stay in place under the covers?

Answer: The ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) is very similar to a fitted sheet in that it covers the entire mattress and is held in place using elasticized corners that reach around the corners of the mattress.

Question: Can I use an ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) on an adjustable bed?

Answer: Absolutely! The ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmer (heated mattress pad) models work very well. In fact, a large proportion of our customers have adjustable beds and are very satisfied with them.

Question: Does the Comfort Control temperature control make a clicking sound when you change the temperature setting?

Answer: No. The temperature control is very quiet and transitions smoothly and soundlessly from one temperature setting to another.

Question: What sort of warranty is there?

Answer: ElectroWarmth® fitted bedwarmers (heated mattress pads) come with a full one-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Question: I have a large mattress (Queen or King) and my partner likes to be cool and I like to be warm. Can you help?

Answer: Absolutely! Our larger models are available with dual comfort controls. This allows each person to select the temperature they want. If one person would not use their side and you have two separate mattresses combined to make a larger bed, you can also use a smaller model such as an M30FL for one side of a Queen, or and M38FL for one side of a King. We also offer non-fitted models which pin to the mattress and can be used for one side of a Queen or King single-mattress bed. These may be seen and purchased on our other website www.electrowarmth.com.

Question: I am a truck driver and I have to keep my engine idling while I sleep in order to stay warm. Do you have anything that I can use to stay warm in my truck bunk without having to keep my engine going all night long?

Answer: Yes! Our "T" models (non-fitted) where designed with truck drivers in mind. The cord is 10 feet long which gives you plenty of length to reach from the cigarette lighter socket to your bunk. This allows you to sleep comfortably without having to idle your truck. The warmer will pay for itself in just a couple days in fuel savings alone. You will also be cutting down on air pollution from the exhaust fumes from your truck. Our bunk warmers are in use all over the United states by many trucking fleets.
