Q: What is the
difference between a bed warmer and an electric blanket?
A: An electric blanket is used as a covering, the bed warmer is
used under the bedding. You sleep ON it, not UNDER it. The bed
warmer attaches directly to your mattress and is covered up by
your normal bedding. bed warmers are much more energy efficient
than an electric blanket because of the way they are used. Your
covers hold in the heat that rises from below. The heat from an
electric blanket rises from above you and escapes into the room.
Q: My home heating costs are high,
will this warmer cost me more for electricity?
A: No. In fact, with a bed warmer, you can turn down the
heat in your home during the night and still sleep comfortably. By
turning down the heat in your home, you will not only save on
heating fuel costs, but your furnace blower, refrigerator and
freezer will also run less in a cooler house. This will help
reduce power costs.
Q: How do I know what size I need?
A: The model number of each warmer indicates its width. For fitted
bed warmers, you need to match the warmer to your bed size in both
width and length. For example the model M38 measures 38 inches
wide by 60 inches long, and can be used for a twin sized mattress
or on one side of a king-sized mattress.
Q: What do the bed warmers look like?
A: The bedwarmers very much resemble a mattress pad. They are made
of white material, and are about 1/2 inch thick. They fit like a fitted sheet and have extra cloth at the head of the
bed that allows the warmer to cover the entire mattress, and has a
skirt with elastic all around the warmer to hold the warmer in
place. The warmers are quilted around the heating wires. This is
done in such a way that you do not feel the wires when you are
laying on the warmer.
Q: Are bed warmers washable?
A: It is recommended that bed warmers be hand washed. They
are electrical devices that can be damaged in a washing machine.
Since the bed warmers are used underneath your bed coverings,
there is not much need to clean them on a regular basis.
Q: Are they safe if something is
spilled on them (or a child wets the bed)?
A: Yes. The heating element wires within the bed warmers are
shielded. In the case of bed wetting, there is also a cleanliness
issue. We recommend covering the bed warmer with a rubber sheet
that can be purchased at stores such as Wal-Mart. The rubber sheet
will help keep the bed warmer clean and will reduce the need to
clean it regularly.
Q: Can I use a bed warmer on an
adjustable bed?
A: Absolutely! The fitted models are recommended, and work very
well. In fact, customers using adjustable beds represent one of
the largest percentages of bed warmer users.
Q: Does the Comfort Control
temperature control make a clicking sound when you change the
temperature setting?
A: No. The temperature control is very quiet and transitions
smoothly from one temperature setting to another.
Q: What sort of warranty is there?
A:Bed warmers come with a full one year guarantee. If anything
goes wrong with the bed warmer during that first year, it will be
repaired or replaced as the factory deems necessary. After the
year warranty has expired, low-cost factory-direct service is
available if it is ever needed. Bed warmers are high quality
products and have very few problems. We have customers that have
had the same bed warmer for 30 years without need for maintenance.
Satisfaction is guaranteed.
Q: Where are the bed warmers made?
A: Bed warmers are manufactured in the United States .
Q: In my electric blanket, I can feel
the heating wires and they are uncomfortable to me. Are the
heating wires in a bed warmer uncomfortable as well?
A: Absolutely Not! The heating wires used in bed warmers are
quilted into the padding of the warmer in order to make them
undetectable when you are sleeping.
Q: What do you recommend for young
children or elderly people?
A: We recommend that the person using the bed warmer be able to
adjust the temperature control and be able to know what to do if
they are too warm. We do not recommend the bed warmer for children
under the age of 5.
Q: Can the bedwarmer be used for
pets?
A: We have special models for pets as well that are designed for
indoor use only. There are 2 sizes: P18 (12" x 18") and
P24 (18" x 24"). These models come with removable,
washable covers. Additional covers are also available.
Q: I have a large mattress (Queen or
King) and my partner likes to be cool and I like to be warm. Can
you help?
A: Absolutely! Our larger models are available with dual Comfort
Controls. This allows each person to select the temperature they
want. If one person would not use their side, you can also use a
smaller model such as an M30 for one side of a Queen, or and M38
for one side of a King.
