(More customer reviews)Folks, I shopped online for many heated mattress pads. I read everything, and finally decided I would narrow the choice to the new "low voltage" models, that convert the AC current that comes from the wall into a low voltage DC (or some such thing) to power the thin little wires in the pad. Some people claim the higher voltage might have dangerous fields or such - some dispute that, but anyway, it seems like newer technology is better so I went that way.
The choices narrowed down to a model from Frontgate that is $100 more, but has the advantage of a separate heating zone for the feet. So if you're a cold-footed person, you can crank up the foot portion of the mattress pad. Also, that Frontgate model had, in addition to the wired control, an identical wireless control. I guess that's if you don't like wires hanging off your bedstand, or if you want to be able to fire up that puppy when you're standing over by your closet. So I actually ordered both to compare.
This velour pad is really nice. You might wonder if it's too fluffy or smells synthetic or whatever, but really I would say it feels like if you laid down a very soft plush towel on your mattress, then put your fitted sheet on top. Very comfortable. Doesn't feel fluffy through your fitted sheet, just feels soft and nice. The dial has quite a range so you can set it just how you want.
By contrast, the expensive Frontgate model only had three settings, hi, medium, and lo, and I don't think that's enough range.
As for whether you want the velour or just a plain cotton/mix pad, that's up to you. And as to whether you want a heated mattress pad vs. an electric blanket, you can read all about the pros/cons from other reviewers. I am so thrilled to have the mattress heated, after using electric blankets for 10 years, because it makes so much more sense. I love it! One of my favorite additions to the house ever. This is the one I kept - I sent the Frontgate back.

Soft Heat Electric Heated Microplush Top Warming Mattress Pad-Incredible is the best word to describe this warming pad. This is one of the safest and plush warming pads you'll ever have the luxury of snuggling up on. The luxurious Micro-Velour fabric on top is incredibly soft and soothing but that's just one of the wonderful features of this pad. Constructed within the pad is the patented Safe and Warm low-voltage technology. This low-voltage mattress pad includes a small power supply box that changes 120 volt AC home current into non-hazardous low voltage DC current (very similar to a battery) to provide warmth, protection and safety even if the pad becomes wet. Unlike other warming pads with their bulky wires, the heating wires in the Soft Heat pads are so small, they are virtually unnoticeable and also give more of an even heat meaning-no hot or cold spots. The full size pad comes standard with one easy to read, easy to turn, non-slip computerized controller to adjust the temperature of the pad. With an automatic pre-heat and hold feature you simply turn it on and the pad will warm up on HI until it reaches the temperature that you pre set your dial on and then adjusts itself to hold it there. For your safety and convenience it has an automatic shut off feature that will shut the pad off after 10 hours just in case you forget. It also comes standard with built in over-temperature protection for that extra bit of safety and piece of mind. A fitted skirt keeps it all in place to eliminate shifting or bunching and gives better sheet fit. Easy care feature means that it's machine washable and dryable and will not stretch, pill or shrink giving you many years of warm luxurious use. Not recommended for use with an electric adjustable bed, water bed or blowup air beds (Sleep number beds are OK).
