if I like cold and only the other 1/2 is turned on -will it make my side of the bed warm?

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

Yes, if you want to keep it warm and want its effects. it doesn't draw much power, but must be plugged in for it to work

Hi Mark,I think your bed is probably working correctly. I also wondered at first why it didn't feel warmer on top, but I came to realize that when the cat is in the bed it's body traps the heat. I think if it were any warmer it might be too hot. It is just right for my old kitty.Good Luck,Sarah Sirchuk

No, not at all. I set mine on 3 to warm the bed while I am getting dressed. Crawling into a warm bed is heavenly. I turn it down to sleep.I purchased one as a gift to my 85 yr old friend and she loves it.

My unit is kept at about the same temp as yours. It is a guest bedroom and doesn't get the constanttem change due to a humanbody or covers being on and off - however I checked it just now and -yes - it does feel rather warm. I honestly do not know if it feels like that all the time are just when it is actually warming the bed. As it cools down to room temperature and or below the currentwater temp - it will of course be activated and go into the warming mode. My guess is that is normal when it is in the heating mode. Mine has worked fine so far. Hope this helps.

I can't say that it actually makes you cooler, but it definitely counteracts the heating effect of the top layer of our mattress. It's more like it makes you feel comfortably neutral, if that makes sense.

When I put it in the refrigerator or freezer, it got it too cold. I discovered that just leaving it on the headboard of the bed was enough for it to get cold. One does not last long enough so I bought a second one. Now I leave them both hanging on the headboard to the bed and and they get cold enough for me. When I need to use one during the night, I just put it right on top of my pillow. It's soft enough and it feels fine on my face. The coolness feels great. If I wake up in the night feeling too warm, I reach up and pull down the other one and I put this warm one back up on the headboard.

The preheat setting will get the bed nice a toasty warm and then it goes back to whatever setting you have originally set. The high setting is really warm but you wouldn't want to leave it on that setting all night. You'd be really warm. It isn't burning hot though.

It mostly heats the space in front of it. But will warm up the room when it is turned on long enough.

I'm not the best person to ask about this, as I am always cold and sleep w/a heated mattress pad on my side of the bed, but my husband, who is always warmer than I, has never complained about being sweaty on his side of the bed. My daughter, who has a different company's memory foam mattress, doesn't mention anything like that either. Hope this is helpful! Much success to you!

Hello, my mother says she can feel the warming almost immediately at #1. She says #2 setting is very toasty. And she says the wiring is not noticeable at all, too.

You can feel the wires, but not enough to be bothersome. You can however really feel where it plugs in at the foot of the bed. I thought it would be on the side of the mattress at the foot, but it's not. It's in the middle of the foot on top. So you can feel that, but again, it hasn't ever bothered me. (And I'm really anal about having perfectly smooth sheets!) The whole bed gets warm, so there aren't really any cold zones. I hope this helped!

Make sure your bedsread is heavy enough to hold the heat. also if you are not in the bed and put your hand on it it won't seem warm. Mine was warm enough but the controller kept blinking and shutting of the heat. I replaced it with a Biddeford which doesn't seem very warm. Oh well.

It depends on several factors-how cold it is outside, exact room size, etc -but mainly depends on how well insulated your room is. If your room is well insulated, within an hour your room should be quite warm.

Mine gets quite warm, but not alarmingly so. I unplug it overnight about twice a week - just when I think about it - to give it a break.

Not a crazy amount but it definitely gives off some heat. However, i keep mine in a small closet that's usually closed off, so that could be why I feel the warmth. Could be that in a bigger room it would be less if not totally unnoticeable.

No not to my knowledge, I installed a cutoff switch near the thermostat otherwise even if you turn the thermostat down all the way it will eventually fire up when it's cold enough.
