I live in the south and the weather has just started to change and now we have some cool nights so I put the heating pad on my bed to use and it will not heat. I have it set on #7 and still can barely feel the heat. It states that it stays on 10hrs..not this one. I am very disappointed with this purchase

This might be the best thing to ever happen to me. I HATE being hot, but I have children and things to do and live In Virginia where it is suddenly unseasonably hot. I used the cooling towel at my daughter's birthday party, which we for some reason chose to have outside during a heat wave, and I thought to myself, "where was this when I was pregnant with her 6 summers ago?" I just wet it and rung it out and draped it around my neck. It's a nice size and great at absorbing extra sweat then turning it into coolness, like an air conditioner for you body. It's also great at wiping down the baby and kids with to cool them off when we are out for a while. The day I find myself at a festival or other outdoor event without it will be a tragic one indeed. I can't wait to use it at the beach next month!

Chill pad arrived today.  It is not for my dog, it is for me. I am lying on it now and loving it!.  If you need coolness for optimal comfort get this.

I bought this cooling pad because I crate my dogs when we sleep. Now that it's getting warmer, I fear that they may be too warm in their crates. I used to have a fan facing the crates at night, but my female dog would growl all night because of it. Ever since I bought these cooling pads, my female dog will want to go in the crate BEFORE we put her in for the night. I know the pads are advertised as "no refrigeration needed", but I found that if I put them in the fridge for about an hour before we go to sleep they stay cooler longer throughout the night. I also put the pads on top of their soft crate mats and under a light pillow case. That way the dogs paws/skin are never in direct contact with the cooling pad. I now hear snores coming out of the crates within minutes of putting them to bed and it makes me happy to know that they are so comfortable. =)

I LOVE this.  Sadly my head tends to get overheated when I sleep - this has stopped that completely!  I'm thinking of getting a wool mattress pad next.

The bed felt like it got too soft for a while BUT I am used to it and I am loving it and sleeping much more soundly

I preferred to keep our cat in at night.  But I gave in.  She now sleeps in the garage.  I was very surprised to see her in her new home that I built and laying on her bed warmer.  This at least makes me feel a little better that she has a warm bed.  I have it on a timer.

The heating pad is not too strong so the bottom cushion does not get too warm. I usually have to put some kind of weight inside the bed so that the heating pad touches and warms up the bottom.

Boy oh boy do my gf and I love this heated mattress pad. The finish feels great while laying on it, don't feel any wires, heats up quickly and washes easily. And I mean heat up quickly, you feel the differences minutes after turning it on. We keep our bedroom mid 60 degrees during the cold months at night with this on and keeps us warm throughout the night from head to toe.  My gf is also a blanket hog so when we used to have an electric blanket it was always me waking her up to pull the blanket from her lol. She still hogs the top comforter till this day but feeling the heat coming from beneath me rather than a blanket laying on me, I stay much warmer than with the electric blanket until I need the comforter to trap the heat. It's also great to have dual zones so we can use different settings on each side but never had a need to put it above the 1 setting. The automatic shut off feature is great also after 10 hours when we forget to turn off the pad. When we use it on a nightly basis, we barely see an increase on the electric bill but do see a decreasing difference not keeping the temperature around 70-73 degrees in our heat bill so we are saving a few dollars a month. And for those of you curious Georges out there, I give this mattress pad an A for not breaking down during physical activity, if you know what I mean lol.. Just how nice it feels alone makes us keep the pad on the bed all year round.

I have an older Tempurpedic mattress that I love, but it retains so much heat that I was waking up frequently and not sleeping well.  I read lots of reviews for mattress pads and was ready to spend $180 for a "cooling" mattress pad that only had mediocre reviews.  I found this pad and the positive reviews were overwhelming, so I decided to give it a try.  I love it!  My mattress is a bit softer now, but still provides the Tempurpedic support that I love.  It has greatly reduced the amount of heat that I feel, and although the mattress is warm I know I can roll over and find a cooler spot.  Excellent product!

I was skeptical about whether this mattress pad would be able to help reduce my bed's temperature because of the plastic coating. I was even more skeptical when I took it out of the bag and saw just how thin the tencel covering was; it doesn't have all the padding most mattress pads have. However! I love this pad - it really does help keep me cooler at night! I pair it with Tencel sheets, and have reduced my night sweats greatly. Better yet, when I do sweat a little, the Tencel really does wick it away from my body. I am surprised and impressed, and very glad I took the chance on this.

The initial feel is cool, so when I first lie down it is "working". However, the pad warms up in time and ends up being BOTH a weird surface to sleep on AND a warm surface. I'm not entirely dissatisfied, as for a quick lie down it is ok. It is an interesting texture to recline on, but when it sits on top of a memory foam pad, the memory foam's influence is too strong.

It's been a few months now and initially it was great but now there are areas of the mattress pad that do not heat up so there is not an even distribution of heat. Disappointed

I have been using the chili pad for 6 years now. If it is not on, I don't sleep. My skin feels like I am sunburned when I sleep. But with this pad, I can adjust the temperature any way I wish. I even take it with me on vacation. I didn't like putting it under the fitted sheet, so I wrap it in a single flat sheet. Works great! My world changed with the Chili Pad. I will be purchasing a second one for backup. Ive only had to have it repaired once, while it was still under warranty. I change the water in the unit every couple of months, and use compressed air to blow the vents out and get rid of the dust that gets sucked up in there. I think thats why it has lasted so long. If you get too hot at night when you sleep, then this is for you. Im even able to turn my A/C up some in the summer. Win-win!!

09-09-18 edit. I found this product to be very hot in the summer months. Some nights Id be moving from place to place on the bed trying to find a cool spot.
Still great for my back and now that its getting cool outside Ill keep using it. But Ill be switching it for something else in the spring.

I got the 2 model because my mattress is a bit too hard and I wake up with a lower back ache. This works really well for that.
It doesnt work to keep you cool, which I believe was one of the claims, but it isn't any worse than my mattress.  Some pads make things a lot hotter which this one does not do.
It could use another 2 in length and width because it is a bit smaller than my mattress.
