WFMW - A warm bed!

Okay girls, if you live in any part of the country where the temperatures gets cold, you are going to want to read this. Living here in the Midwest, it gets pretty chilly cold and I hate getting into a cold bed. About a month ago, I purchased a heated mattress pad from Kohl's. It wasn't the top of the line, and it wasn't the bottom of the barrel either...I bought one that had duel controllers, since I knew my hubby (the heater!) wouldn't normally use it on "his side." But I also wanted to give him the option, in case he had a cold/flu or something like that.

Let me just tell you, I LOVE it!

I usually turn the bed on when I'm upstairs putting the kiddos to bed. I'll come downstairs and hang out with my hubby for a few hours/watch t.v./blog/etc. and then when I go up to bed.... it is all toasty and warm. It's almost as if the bed totally just sucks you in. It is pure heaven girls, I'm tellin' ya! It totally makes the end of the day something to look forward to.

I have even called home on a few occasions when I have been out with the girls or at a church meeting to ask Andy to turn my bed on....he now knows and when I call, he'll say," I've already turned it on!" What a great guy I have!

Lately, I have felt Andy's cold feet sliding over on to my side of the bed more often....he's trying to get his feet all toasty too!

Anyway, this works for me and I know that if you live where it is cold...this will work for you too! Check out all the other great tips over at Rocks in my Dryer!

I have one of these and it's the only reason I don't sleep on the couch (it's usually about 15-20 degrees warmer in the livingroom than it is in our bedroom). I LOVE it!

Hi Traci! I've had one for about 4 years now and wouldn't live without it. They have really come down in price. And, my first one came with a 5 year guarantee. Sure enough, after two years, it wasn't working. I threw it in a box, sent it back and they sent me a brand new one! My favorite is to turn it on before I go to bed, and then off after I get in bed. It is just enough to take the chill off, but not overheat ya!
