Electric Mattress Pad Tricks and Tips

If you're using an electric mattress pad to keep warm through the night, you don't want to step out onto the cold floor first thing in the morning. If you have laminate, tile, or wood flooring, it's a good idea to place a rug at your bedside to avoid shocking your system with the cold flooring as soon as you wake up.

If you know it's going to be an exceptionally cold day, it's a good idea to leave the mattress pads on at the lowest level possible before leaving for work. You can also use bathroom heaters which allow you to not have to turn on your big furnace and save you money on your monthly heating bill.
