Heat strips are useful down to about 40 f. If it is cold than that the air conditioner fans don't like it.
also, the semi warm air from the AC fan does not feel hot when it blows on you.

I've always just used the basic little cube style heaters. They go to 1500 watts and 2 different fan speeds.
Don't use them with an extension cord or plug strip. Check that the tip-over cutoff works. Set them in a place where they wont' get pushed against anything cloth or plastic. They are perfectly safe.
I will add, don't set them on the floor next to the bed as they can scorch a circle on the blanket when/if it comes in contact. ๐

I was also thinking about a heat strip in the A/C. We had an old Terry that had a heat strip and it was really good. Was old enough that we didn't have duct work but came out of the bottom of the A/C unit. Took the chill off and you didn't run the furnace. Do they still make them?

Hi,
I would avoid digitally controlled heaters. If the power "blips" they may turn off.

Mattress pad heaters go on top of the mattress, not under it. They are just under the sheets.

theoldwizard1,
I think the brand name was something like "tempertek" for the electric heated carpets.
Found it!

Do you have foam board or reflectix under your bed?
We put 1" blue foam board under our mattress. Wow, what a difference!!
I ask as, if putting a heat pad under the mattress, insulation under it would put more heat to the side you want it on.

Also, heated mattress pads work much better than heated blankets,
40 degrees is cold we get down to the mid-tees at times. We also use heated mattress pad. Pianotunaโs heated carpet sounds interesting, warm feet!!
