Serta Multi-Zone Heated Mattress Pad – Dual Controllers for Personalized Body & Foot Warmth, 10 Heat Settings, Auto Shut-Off, Soft Microfiber, Machine Washable, 15″ Deep Pocket – Queen Size

5 stars and two thumbs up.
Heats up fast. No preheat required. Good, there is none. Independent zones, full coverage, fabulous. I use L (1) for torso and 2 for feet that I have bumped up to 3 at times. Time of operation (auto shut off) is nice since it’s adjustable not fixed. Clicking buttons and controller light are easy to adapt to. Consider them accessibility aides for those who need glasses and need the feedback by feel. I’m so glad I replaced my Sunbeam that had very spotty heat areas. The plugs at the feet don’t bother me at all. This princess doesn’t mind the pea. It needs two electrical plugs, but I use a properly rated power strip.

Amazing warming with one big issue
I’ve never been so angry with such an amazing item in my life, let me explain. This heated mattress pad with 4 zones is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. My feet get chilly at night and my wife’s whole body morphs into an ice cube after the sun sets. Having 4 zones is great because I have just my feet area turned on while my wife has both of her zones turned to different levels. To clarify my side has the upper part kept at 0 and my feet at 2, my wife keeps hers at 3 up top and 5 at the bottom. When we first got it we turned all zones up to 9 to see what it was like ..it was like a sauna under the blankets, not burn you hot , just really really warm. You can’t feel the internal warming wires when you’re laying down either, somehow it’s made our mattress more comfortable. So if I rated this only on the warming I’d give it 7 stars, it’s that good.Now the bad part…the plugs are a good couple of inches up where you’re feet go and while they’re the size of a deck of playing cards, it’s really an awful placement. I’m positive their positions were determined to save the company 62¢ in manufacturing cost but it makes me exceedingly angry every night. Seriously, why couldn’t they have gone at the vertical base where I’d never feel them? Or the corners instead of the middle of each half? Both myself (tall guy) and my wife (shorter woman) feel them every single night, it’s infuriating! And yes, I’ve thought about flipping things around so the plugs are up top but then they’d be under our pillows and I know I’d feel them there and it would be WORSE, not to mention having to remember the zones are swapped.If the heating part is 7/5 stars the cord placement is -1/5 stars meaning overall this is a 4 star item.

It will get you toasty in no time.
What I like about the queen size multizone heated mattress pad is the multiple zones and it is heated all the way up to the edges of the mattress , top bottom and sides. Most heated mattress pads with dual controls only heat one side or the other and do not heat the foot/calf area or shoulders/head area, this one you can heat one side or the other as well as the tops and bottoms independently. My feet freeze where as the rest of me is fine so sometimes I dont even need the top warmed. Now my feet are always toasty warm an the rest of me is comfortably cooler. The one thing I did not like so much is if I do feel the need to heat the top it heats all the way up including the head area which means the pillow traps the heat so it feels much warmer under the pillow than the chest area feels. Not sure I like that. The heating wires in the pad are fairly close together so there is more heat generated on the pad than my old mattress pad and it heats more quickly than my old pad. For me that is great for aches and pains in my back and legs. It is almost like having a full size heating pad but with a lot more temperature control. On sale it was only slightly more than my old mattress pad which was vastly inferior to this pad and inexpensive in IMO. It was easy to to attach the dual controls to the pad and easy to remove them. There is only one right way to do it. As for durability I cannot speak since I have only had the pad for a month but so far so satisfied. I almost forgot to mention that you do not have to set the controllers every time you turn them on. The controllers will stay at the settings programmed in until you want to change them.
