Do you have to have both sides turned on for the mattress pad heat up?

Not at all. Each side is totally independent. There is nothing better for chronic back pain. I usually turn mine on about half an hour before bedtime and the temperature is just perfect. I usually sleep the night through and wake up without pain and stiffness. Makes for a much better sleep and rest. You'll love it...

No. I often have my side on, while my spouse has hers off (and vice versa).

You have to figure out which control is for each side, then you just heat that one side. We got our wires crossed up and I just turn on both of them. You do not have to have both sides turned on.

Yes, both the hot and cold side have a switch in the back to turn them off.

no you plug it in and the heating element in the pad warms up. I like it a lot and my old one lasted more than 20years

Im not sure exactly what you are asking, but let me guess. The connector wires must connect at the bottom of the bed and on the top side of the mattress pad(between the pad and your sheets). Additionally, connect the pad and only turn on the left side to 9. If you have it backwards or upside down the heated side will be on the right of the bed.

Yes. You can turn the heat and massage off and on at will they have seperate switches.

No. It's there for safety reasons and as a constant user of heating pads I wouldn't want that to change. There's too much of a risk. My mom was in the hospital and needed to use a heating pad (not this one). No one checked on her and she ended up with 3rd degree burns. This is going back 25 years where no one thought about the risk factors. Had the heating pad they gave her had a shut off feature this never would have happened to her.

Not specifically. It just has the one gliding switch at the top, as shown. However, if it's positioned all the way to the left, then the heat doesn't come on since it's set well below the 50 degree mark. Hope that helps!

Yes, there is just on and off. No way to adjust the temperature except by putting layers on top of the pad. I always leave it on. I put it away in the summer and plug it in and turn it on in the fall. I'm in my second winter with this pad. It still works perfectly.

Yes, the heated pad is placed directly over mattress then the bed is made as it always is.

We put a fitted sheet over the heated mattress pad always. If you didn't do that you would have to wash the heated mattress pad more often and that would be hard on it.

No. they both heat up on the same control. You could use one side and put water into the other. I wouldn't use one side and leave the other side empty.

There is no dial on this to turn up the heat. The new body shaped heating pad has a unique design which conforms to your body. It provides CONSISTANT, therapeutic heat where you need it most. MINE NEVER GETS HOT ENOUGH TO BURN ME.

Yes you can have either one sideorboth turned on...and set at different temps!

Yes. You have to plug it in for the heat to turn on. The cord comes out of the bottom closer to the left side. Where the cord plugs in is a hard protective case and it does stick out an inch or so. We have them on our acupuncture tables and it does not seem to get in the way of the sheets or the patient.

There are no zones on the controller for the twin XL heated mattress pad. There is a preheat button and it adjusts from L 2 - 9 and H.

Mine doesn't heat up like a heating pad does,but just that subtle cozy warmth creates a wonderful feeling.You have to realize that this is a warming pad and doesn't work like a heating pad.I have had no problems with mine yet,and I love it. Please make sure you have it connected in the plug correctly,and the controls are working properly.I hope you have many warm days ahead of you,and I hope my answer helps you. God Bless

No, although, this is a good, dependable heating pad, an auto-turn off feature is not included. I added a wall plug in timer to remedy that.
