Advantages: None

Disadvantages: It is so uncomfortable to be unusable

Just bought a Dreamland (Imetec) soft fleece heated fitted mattress cover Model PD1A for a single bed for my mother. There is a small matchbox-sized plastic junction box right in the middle of its underside. Despite the fleece topping it is like sleeping on a golfball, even when a £70 foam mattress topper was fitted over it. It does not matter how warm or effective this underblanket is - it is unusable and must have been designed by idiots. There is no other explanation. Stay well away from it. There is no way of detecting this faulty design until the blanket is taken out of its two wrappers and laid out flat. The amount of heating element is also rather meagre.

Summary: Badly designed Dreamland electric underblanket. It is so uncomfortable to be unusable
