To those with the electric blanket or mattress cover, how many of you have switched up the controls in error? You are freezing, so you keep turning it up, meanwhile your spouse is hot, so he/she keeps turning it down. It's happened to us one time, and I remember my parents telling their story as well.

We have an dual controlled electric mattress cover (pad) and love it! With Colorado’s winter temperatures along with a preset interior temperature of 66 degrees we are able reduce our home’s overnight temperature to 61 degrees. As our sleeping hours approach and the house begins to cool our mattress cover is turned to a comfortable pre-heat temperature 15 minutes prior to our entry and then turned off. Afterwards our body heat will then keep us comfortable throughout the night. Our furnace will warm the house before we wake.
It works for us.
It works for us.

We just put ours back on the bed last week. It's a Biddeford blanket, but don't know where we got it. Dual control. Like Lainey, I turn them on a half hour before bedtime, then I turn my side off as soon as I get in bed. +1 leaves hers on all night. I think most electric blankets work better with some cover on top of it to hold the heat in.
