What happens if the blanket is put on upside down? Can't you just reverse the controllers?

Hi,Instructions recommend that the blanket be placed with the bottom connector on top. For me however one of the controllers did not work at all so I returned the blanket. I cannot validate if it is ok to flip it over.

I haven't had the blanket for very long and I usually do not use it at the higher settings so the controllers have stayed cool. I also turn them off as soon as I am out of the bed. So I don't know if the controllers of your son in law were faulty initially or if they got that way with constant use. It could be an issue to consult with the manufacturer through the internet. Gadgets that convert household current to low voltage to charge say cell phones or rechargable cell batteries do get hot if left plugged in for very long periods of time after charging. They usually recommend to unplug them after use. I haven't had the blanket for very long and I usually do not use it at the higher settings so the controllers have stayed cool.

There's a long cord coming out from the bottom and goes around the bed from left to right. Each side has a controller at the top.

I've sewn a small thin loop about half way up the side. Using bias or hem tape, stitch one end of the tape to the blanket, lay the cord across the tape, fold over then other end then stitch that end closed of the tape so the cord is now trapped. My husband has added an extension cord to his so he can bring the on/off switch closer to him so he does not have to reach far for his control. Hope one of these suggestions help.

I would have to say no. If you look at the example pic in the add you can kind of see the soft S shape. Reversing it does not look like it is right. JMHO Secondly, I am not entirely sure how the arm extensions would hold position of slide being upside down. I think you are best checking with the manufactured. The unit is really well made and definitely worth the effort if it can operate the way you want.

You can hook the cables up "backwards" and reverse the rotation (push the slush down the hole)

I don't think so. I haven't done it. remember, down blanket is not water washable. I intend to treat them in the same way. Hope this helps.

Short answer: no. Long answer: Whether or not the mattress will start to sag or lose its ability to bounce back to original state, the mattress will not be flipped. Look at the description information. The mattress is composed of layers of different material. Only the top 3 inches or so is the "memory" material. That means if you flipped the mattress you would be laying on regular foam like a peasant. And we can't have that.

No, it is not reversible. I had checked the seams on both sides & has the same colors.

My son hasn't had any problems with his. Especially since we learned you are supposed to keep the Xbox on its side not up and down!

Yes, I found that you have to reverse it (using the remote) while it is running.

The reverse switch is a momentary switch which must be depressed and held there to continue to run. If the reverse side of your switch ( indicated by two vertical lines ) is actually the side that runs in reverse without having to be held down, the switch is wired wrong coming from the power side of the motor and not simply not a case of the switch being installed upside down. This unit MUST be returned, do not attempt to re-solder this lead. P.S. We're4 still lovin our 8006, use it at least once daily and have had NO issues with running anything thru it. Jeff Zinneman

No, but you can change the orientation before turning it upside down. Sideways no.

We are using the configuration shown in the picture....don't think it is reversible

it a plug and hole system. push the plug it slides down. Its hard enough that children cannot do it. I dont think we turned the table upside down. I had my grown son do it for me.

There are two controllers. They work pretty well. Fun fact: we just put ours back on our bed for the cold season coming up and realized that we had set the controllers on the wrong side. My side was really cold and hers was really hot. I kept turning mine up and it wouldn't get any warmer and she kept trying to turn hers off and couldn't get it any cooler. Glad we figured that out :)Seriously though, we love this thing. We live in Maine along the coast, and being able to turn this on an hour before we go to bed and find a toasty mattress instead of a block of ice is amazing.
