I bought my wife an electric mattress pad several years ago for Christmas... (I couldn't think of anything good, so I bought it on a whim and hoped she'd like it). Now I can't imagine being without it. We turn both sides on (seperate controls) about 30 minutes before we go to bed. When I crawl in bed, the bed is toasty warm. I turn the mattress pad off when I get into bed, so it's only on for about a half hour. The warm bed makes your back muscles relax immediately, and we fall asleep much quicker, and with much less tossing and turning. We keep the room cooler also, since we only have to heat the bed.
Another little benefit is when I have to get up in the middle of the night with my son/daughter/dogs/bladder.... I turn the mattress pad on when I get up, and when I toddle back to bed, it's nice and warm again.
