A member asked:
Medically will it be alright to use an electric mattress in moderate night temp say +4c and above?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversy: Typically you will not want to raise your body temperature throughout the night with mattress warmer. Can cause changes to sleep and hormonal balance. If you can see if you can set a timer to stop heating after about 30 minutes which is about the time that many people start going into a deeper sleep.
