How to Use Your Electric Mattress Pad

So, as your bedtime approaches, you're going to turn the electric mattress pads on your desired temperature about 15 minutes before you get into bed. Before you get into bed, turn your home's thermostat down to about 60 degrees. This should be warm enough so that your home's pipes don't freeze over and crack. Now hop into your warm, cozy bed and enjoy the warmth.

If you get too warm during the night, simply turn down the heater from your bedside controller.

After you get up in the morning, be sure to turn off the electric mattress pad for the day. There's no need to keep it on if you're aren't going to be going to sleep anytime soon.
