heated mattress

[pop up pilot]

I tried the heated mattresses in my Select. They didn't appear to be producing any heat at all. Anyone have any insight into these mattresses? Are my expectations too high, or are these prone to failure?

Are you talking about the heated mattress pads? I have 2 and both controllers work but only 1 of the pads heats up. Yes, I like it and it works very well and what I do is about an hour before I go to bed turn it on to (6) and when I go to bead I turn it down to (2) for the rest of the night. Were talking about the outside temp in the low 50s-high 40s and the pads are 6 years old.

They won't feel warm to the touch. You have to lay on them really to feel the warmth.
