I love electric mattress pads - to me, much better than electric blankets. My first one died and when replacing, I ordered a similar one from the same manufacturer. It was so cheaply constructed of such flimsy materials and was spotty in terms of warmth, so I returned it. I despaired of finding a good one and ordered this Beauty Rest pad. The construction is far better, the quality of materials far superior, and I am happy with the purchase. It is almost a 5-star except for the position of the plug connection at the bottom of the mattress pad and its overall consistency of heating. All in all, however,I would recommend this product to others.
