How warm does the mat get? Does it have a thermostat?

no thermostat, so can't measure exactly but gets very warm. makes it comfortable to play on the floor with a toddler even when the wood floor beneath is really cold in winter.

Nope, it doesn't have a thermostat -but you can always buy one and plug the heater in it, and so you'll know how hot to make the room. Think of this heater like a light bulb. Does a light bulb knows how bright to make the room? :)

I'm not sure you can get both a light and mat to heat to the same temperature. I used it to keep a heating pad from exceeding 105-deg. It works perfectly.

It does not have a thermostat. You have to monitor the temperature, and periodically adjust it, but not very often. It's very "user friendly."

I'm warm, but not hot by any means. I have it on my counter and even my kids touch it/use it/handle it all the time.

It does have a thermostat and in our bedroom it works quite well. You simply set the desired temperature, and it will keep the room at that temp. In our bedroom it keeps it very close to the thermostat temperature (checking with a digital thermometer in the room. From the description in the Amazon listing: Product Dimensions: 39.7 x 5.4 x 9 inches ; 11 pounds

I have seen these mats reach between 83-87 degrees Fahrenheit. I used a thermostat should the product overshoot my desired temperature settings. Just being cautious.

Yes it does come with a heat mat, it is a heat mat and carrying case in one.

Without a thermostat the mats continuously heat. You will need a thermostat for each mat. I have two others that are single trays also. I run 1 small and this larger one via a power strip to 1 thermostat and the 3rd mat to another as I have some seeds I grow that require cooler temperatures when growing. The thermostats do have a piece to hang them with which is great. I have all my controls and power strips mounted on a 2x4 in my grow room so they are out of my way!

Yes it does. I don't remember exactly, but I think it's after 6 hours. To comment on Cheryl J. comment about it not getting very warm: it's not meant to. What it really does it just take the chill off, but it's not a heating pad and it not meant to be.

The heading pad is a solid thin mat but is covered with a soft foam and cloth cover. I have it on my cats perch indoors. He loves it. Another review says it is barely warm. If the cat is not on it is feels barely warm. If your cat is laying on it and you put your hand between the cat and the pad it is very warm this is for safety. The inside mat is solid so it is water resistand and kitty nails won't damage it, all safety measures to prevent fires. Also a heating pad can get to warm and actually burn your cat, or electrocute them.

It gets warm, not hot. I don't know what temperature it reaches, but my cat loves its cozy feel.

I didn't use an additional thermostat. Mat was always toasty (not hot) and seeds sprouted well.

yes it does.. has cover on pad that can be removed for washing...its also thermostat controlled so it only warms when the cat is lying on it

I have the 2' model which I often use during the winter months, but I live in the California Bay Area; the temperature rarely gets to 35-40F. The heated mat is supposed to provide warmth (to help sprout seeds) to 20F above ambient. You may need to provide additional heat in your garage depending on how cold it gets outside.

There is no thermostat on it. It's either on or off. On is hot enough to melt plastic! :)

There isn't a thermostat that gives and actual number for the temp. However, it has 4 different settings and definitely feels nice and cozy when it's cold out.
