LUXURY COLLECTION (Queen Size) - Camelot Haven III - Heated Electric Blanket Warming Heating Mattress Pad (White)

I am a cost conscious shopper and have been looking for a mattress pad for some time with the features advertised for the Queen Size Camelot Haven III mattress pad. The dual "sensing" control for example with preheat features was one of those features. It does have dual sensing controls which is an excellent idea for our household where my wife is a regular 'fire pit' most of the time and I could be described as the iceberg that sank the Titanic. You would think that we should complement each other nicely but try putting iceberg feet on a 'fragile as glass', superheated wife and see where that gets you! Thus, the dual controls work well; however, I wonder greatly about their claims for "Smart Technology - Thermofine Warming System Senses and Adjusts, to Send Warmth when and where You Need It." because after you wait a good half hour for the preheat function to warm up the bed I have found that even the lowest setting gets to be too warm in the middle of the night.

I'm a cold sleeper and my bedroom gets down into the 50's at night. Some nights I'm sure even breach 50. I put this on level 1 or 2 out of 10 and feel completely comfortable.
