That said, heated mattress pads on the market now have a finite lifespan. The heating elements gradually lose their ability to heat, necessitating replacement after a perhaps 3-5 years, give or take. Unless they've engineered a much longer-lasting heating system, this significantly limits the window of risk. If they have engineered a pad with significantly longer-lasting heating elements they should trump that fact LOUDLY, as it'll be a big plus to existing fans of heated mattress pads.
