“Machine wash & dry, too”

“This is my first heated mattress pad, so I admit I don't have much of a comparison, but I like it a lot. I use this on a clamshell-style fold-down sofabed (which is a bit longer and narrower than a queen, but it fits fine) but I remove it before putting the sofa back up, because the instructions warn against folding it in a sofabed since it could damage the wires. I usually use it on the 3 or 4 (out of 6) setting, which is plenty warm. It seems to get extra toasty where you're lying, and not heat up the entire mattress, which I like--I find it very relaxing to have the heat applied to my back and legs. It doesn't have much padding, but on the other hand, it folds up pretty compact for a queen-size mattress pad. I'm not quite so crazy about the 100% poly cover, but it washes & dries beautifully, the plug at the head of the cover which connects to the wire is a little awkward, and the lighted dial on the control is very bright--I need to put it face down under my bed and there is still a bit of ghostly glow. But it's a nice cover & well worth the $$ for the improved sleep.”
