if I like cold and only the other 1/2 is turned on -will it make my side of the bed warm?

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

The directions state that it will NOT feel hot to the touch - it warms the bed and you have to get in the bed to appreciate the heat. I LOVE this blanket, as it does not overheat, I never become uncomfortably hot and the softness is lovely.

I think the warmth just depends on the type of duvet insert you put in it. The duvet cover itself is like two normal cotton flat sheets that are sewn together on three sides (plus there are buttons on the fourth side to give it a "finished" look once you put the duvet insert inside).

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

No not to my knowledge, I installed a cutoff switch near the thermostat otherwise even if you turn the thermostat down all the way it will eventually fire up when it's cold enough.

Yes, there are 2 switches on the side of that allows you to turn off the hot and the cold (should you go away for a period of time).

It could cool the entire bed. My husband is always cold so he makes sure it is tucked to stay on my side of the bed only. One night he froze because it was getting on his side too. I have a queen bed.

My unit is kept at about the same temp as yours. It is a guest bedroom and doesn't get the constanttem change due to a humanbody or covers being on and off - however I checked it just now and -yes - it does feel rather warm. I honestly do not know if it feels like that all the time are just when it is actually warming the bed. As it cools down to room temperature and or below the currentwater temp - it will of course be activated and go into the warming mode. My guess is that is normal when it is in the heating mode. Mine has worked fine so far. Hope this helps.

I can usually only feel direct heat for a couple of feet but the way it is situated to be any further than that, I would have to be off to one side. But I can tell you that within 10 min. or so our large bathroom is so toasty that we have to turn it off.

It'll heat that great room, but the heat may no carry to the bedroom also. You can buy little fans that mount in the doorway to circulate heat to the bedroom. A round 20'000BTU unit will drive you out of the house with its heat. We have a half level upstairs with two small rooms and a bathroom. Up there with the heater on, it gets to 80 degrees on the coldest days. We've had the round heaters and placement of those is more problematic because heat is thrown out on all sides.

Not at all. I usually turn it on 5 min before getting on bed. The bed sets itself on high until reaching the set temp then drops to the setting you put it on.

Both answers below are correct. We use our heater in a small bathroom that gets very chilly in the morning. The thermostat dial on the side is labeled 1-3 with 3 as the warmest setting. I would agree that set on 3 with the door closed, the room would probably warm to approx 85 degrees in short order. If left on 1, the heater would cycle on and off at around 60 degrees. Hope that helps.

Boy, that is cold. It is a tough question since I did not buy the blanket for my bed which has a quilt and a plush throw and I keep my thermostat at 62 degrees at night. My area can get down to freezing in Nov, Dec and Jan. So, I would say if your house gets colder than mine, it might take two of these blankets or blanket and quilt (or maybe a comforter). Sorry, I could not give a definite answer.

I like to be warm but haven't noticed the matress changing anything. But since I don't mind heat if it warms up I might not notice. The review I read said that was a reason to get the higher-end "temperpedic" type mattress but I haven't noticed.

It depends on several factors-how cold it is outside, exact room size, etc -but mainly depends on how well insulated your room is. If your room is well insulated, within an hour your room should be quite warm.

You probably can, that's a good idea! My duvet is also really warm so that is probably what I will do.

I really cannot answer the question, we have had the coldest couple months here in years, My primary heat is all electric heat pump, so I was expecting a huge bill adding the heater also, I ran it quite a few days without turning it off, my bill was lower than I expected it to be, and it is a warmer heat than the heat pump
