Works out great. The only concern is the electromagnetic waves we are absorbing from the pad.

Years ago I used an electric blanket all the time and loved it. Because of all the horror stories of those electromagnetic waves and how bad they are for you I stopped using it. I do still use a heating pad sometimes on my head when I have a real bad headache but that is it.
