For those who live in colder climates or prefer to sleep on a warm bed the best mattress pad
would be a heated model. This di ers from an electric blanket in that the heated mattress pad

lies below the sleeper and provides comfortable warmth during sleep. They cost between $50

and $150 and are energy e cient and are certainly cheaper than using a heating system for your

entire home. These mattress pads include an auto-o function to conserve electricity and some

models even respond to changes in room and body temperature and self-adjust. Sunbeam heated

mattress pads are one of the most popular brands on the market and are worth considering. The
best mattress pad brands include Simmons, Serta, Sunbeam, Linen Soft, Pike Street and Sealy.

The best mattress pad according to Amazon’s best sellers list is the Deluxe Cotton Damask Strip
Mattress Pad from New point Home which features a 100% cotton top that is fully quilted with a

Damask woven stripe. The thread counts of 250 means that comfort is not compromised.

Generally, the higher the thread-count the more durable and comfortable the material, however

the cost will also be proportionately higher.

Consumers should carefully choose the best mattress pad that meets their requirements and

carefully evaluate the pros and cons of the product before buying it. It is important to ensure

that the mattress pad is machine washable since it will require washing occasionally. Also,
people with allergies should alternately seek hypoallergenic mattress pads. More and more

people are realizing that mattress pads are a necessity, not a luxury and if a good night’s sleep is

what you are looking for it is prudent to choose the best mattress pad you as it will be a

worthwhile investment.
