Electric Matress Pad! Works for me!!!

Post by CHRISC »

First time here. Cold legs when I go to bed was getting unbearable (what else is new). I was using a heating pad maybe 18"x12". Helped but didn't work well. Somehow I got the idea to find a full electric matress pad. It has duel controls, so my wonderful partner can set differently. I turn it on an hour before bed and it is absolute heaven! I was wearing silk long underwear AND sweat pants trying to keep my legs warm...Now I just slip into bed, go "ahhh" and sleep! (Am on drugs, but they didn't give the same relief...but the combo is working most of the time. (Drugs=Requip and Neurontin (300mg)) Google search "electric matress pad", took a little investigation.

DH and I were just talking about getting one this weekend! We both use those small heating pads.

The massage table is always so comfy and warm when I go in for a massage, I have thought often how my body tends to relax all most immediately when I get there.

Like the dual control feature! That's a bonus! Hazel
