Most Even Heating Mattress Pads

  
  
  

Electric Mattress Pad Evenness of Heating (Hot and Cold Spots)

All warming mattress pads heat quite evenly due to their heater wires being held more precisely in their correct heat distribution pattern. Some brands of electric blankets are designed such that their heating wires are free to "float" somewhat inside the blanket. However all brands of mattress covers have their wires held securely in their intended heating pattern.

This is a photo of the bottom side of one brand of mattress pad illustrating how the heat wires are secured in place.

Even heating electric mattress pads

 

The only major difference between brands of warming pads as far as evenness of heating is found on the Sunbeam heated mattress pads. Many people like the Sunbeam feature of "directing heat where the body needs it" ("Smart Blanket Heating" or "Blanket with a Brain"). However many users complain that this feature actually makes for uneven heating. 

 

Have you experienced any uneven heating with your electric mattress pad?

Hi Lori, 
 
 
 
This is Richard, author of the Consumer Guide to Electric Blankets and Mattress Pads. I recommend you to try the SoftHeat Low Voltage heated mattress pad. If not familiar with them, see our review at http://www.electricblanketinstitute.com/softheat-low-voltage-mattress-pad.html. You can see all of their pads with photos and complete descriptions atwww.abbedding.com.
