Heated mattress pad?

With the cold weather starting to settle in we are looking for a heated mattress pad for a RV short queen,
Any recommendations?
TIA
Chuck

We simply use an electric blanket.

My TT came with heated mattress but you can buy heated pads from Amazon for ~ $60-$70.

If you have to settle for a regular queen size pad just let the extra 5" hang over the foot of the bed (difference between RV and Std Queen).

Electric blankets are good too and easier to find with dual controls if partner likes to be warmer or cooler.


A funny thought. Here we are talking about "camping" with electric mattress pads or Electric Blankets.

Remember the days when extra heat in you bed depended on who had the dog sleeping next to them in the tent?

And here we are talking about heat when it's 80 degrees in North Carolina today. Crazy weather.

We've been out for 10 nights, and it has gone from almost freezing to almost summer again.

Good point about dual controls on the electric blankets. Probably a necessity for some.

FWIW, we have an RV queen. We use the pad that used to be on a standard queen bed at home. With a good comforter, a pad will keep you very toasty. We got stuck in Missouri a couple years ago in January. Temps went to -15 overnight. That day only, the furnace decided to take a vacation. So we had a single 1500 watt electric heater and the mattress pad.... We were actually quite comfortable sleeping, ate breakfast wearing heavy jackets before heading south.

We just bought a standard queen heated pad from target and use one at home and on the road.

As mentioned, we picked up an rv queen heated pad from Amazon. Dual controls keep Mama and papa happy.

Wasn't sure those came with dual controls. Good to know. Thanks.
