My bedroom in my apt gets so cold. I Have been wanting to get an electric mattress pad ever since I moved in. They are too expensive for my budget. So At first I would put my little heater up next to the bed (fire hazard) and dangle my feet over the edge and let the heat fill up the bed. But then in the middle of the night I would have to get up and turn it off. I decide to buy an electric blanket instead (alot cheaper). I got it home and had the most clever idea to put it under my mattress pad and wallah a heated mattress pad! It is heaven! Kind of like getting into a pile of towels fresh out of the dryer. What more could I ask for? ( yes a little sarcasim)
