Comfort in the Form of the Electric Mattress

By Irvan Januta


Throughout history, heat has been used as a natural remedy to relieve pain and enhance recovery.
It also has been long associated with comfort and relaxation, being used extensively in saunas and spas.
With the advent of electric mattresses, there is now an easy way of bringing the benefits of heat right into the comforts of your bedroom.
Electric mattresses differ from the electric blankets because the former provides heat under the body and the latter heats from the above.
It's better to use electric mattresses than electric blankets because thermodynamically speaking, heat always moves upwards.
Heat will rise from under you and spread evenly over your bed instead of having it blown away in the air.
Most electric mattresses come with digital controls nowadays, and all you have to do is to set your desired heat level and the system will do the rest of the work. It will adjust itself automatically as it senses and responds to the temperature of your room and your body. With the heat supplied by the electric mattress to your body, it will help increase blood flow, which will help reduce stiffness and relax sore muscles.
From mattress stores and outlets to department stores and recently, internet retailers, getting a quality electric mattress pad had never been so easy.
There are many things to consider though, like the right size that will fit into your bed, safe power source, the material and heating elements used, comfort features etc., so it is important to know what to look for in a quality electric mattress.
With an electric mattress warming your bed, you're sure to get a good night's sleep.

Aside from the luxury of getting such comfort in your own home, electric mattresses also alleviate suffering from chronic lower back pains and arthritis. Using an electric mattress will also help reduce your heating bills as your bed will still be toasty even if you turn down your thermostat during winter.
