H O T, T O, G O
I’ve discussed on this show in the past that when I sleep my feet are what gets cold and so Multiple blankets are piled up on my feet Lauren sleeps cold year-round and is always cold like head to toe For me, it’s my feet my feet but years ago, I got Lauren a gift of a Mattress pad that’s heated like a seat warmer and it comes with two zones So each person in the bed can choose what temperature they want their mattress pad to be heated to so in the colder months I could turn mine up to one or two Sometimes I turn it all the way up to ten and then when I got in turn it all the way down to one or just Turned it off because I don’t to be hot all night, but I like the the sheets to be warm against my feet That’s a good thing But then the heated mattress pad died your Daily Lex So what did I do I replace it I got another one from the same company And a couple years into owning this new one it stopped working very well and I was like this is dumb.
These are not supposed to be short-term items so I contacted the company through their website and they wrote back almost instantly being like, can you please take a picture of the tag and Send us your receipt and I did those things they’re like, okay we’ll send you a replacement because it should still be working and All we need to do is we need you to send another picture of the tag with a giant X drawn on it And you have to show that you’ve cut the cable that plugs into the wall, okay So I do those things they send us a replacement.
We set up the replacement It’s a bit annoying because you got, you know strip the whole bed fine and then put on the new mattress pad and then thread the cable that go under the whole mattress and Remotes go to either side and whatever And we just turn it on the first day and yeah, it works just fine except I kept finding I was getting way hotter than I wanted and Last night was like the worst.
I put it on one while I was reading before going to sleep and I verified how to turn it off because night or two before since the remotes are different each time They send us a new one The buttons in a different place and I made sure I knew how to find it by feel and turn it off.
And so around Midnight, I turned it off.
I Woke up again at 1 or 2 in the morning and it was still so incredibly hot and it’s true like having weighted blankets and stuff Against your feet can trap some of that heat in so it can stay hot But I was like, this is a ridiculous amount of trapped heat.
How is this happening?
Why is this happening?
and it’s just unbelievably hot and I’m just I’m cooking basically and I can’t stand it and Eventually I start to get the this small hair of a thought and I unplug the mattress and Go back to sleep and in the morning I’m like Lauren something’s wrong with the mattress bed.
She’s like, I know it won’t get hot at all I’m like no what’s wrong is the remotes are arranged opposite of how the prior one was meaning I’m turning Lauren’s off or turning it down to very low and she because her side isn’t getting hot enough since I’m literally turning mine off or Leaving it on one is turning hers to the maximum setting which to be clear should it should be illegal.
It’s so hot It should not be allowed And so in fact, we were torturing each other because I was making Lauren be much colder than she wanted and she was cooking me It was torture So tonight before bed, we will be swapping those remote locations because that was horrendous Yeah, it’s just so bad Like I’m eventually I’m just sleeping on top of all my blankets because the heat doesn’t penetrate all of them and this way I cannot Be on a boiling hot surface Unplugging it was the right move in the middle of the night, but man just horrible just horrible.
Anyway That’s my main story for today.
So I hope you’re having a wonderful Wednesday October 30th.
And yeah, that’s all I got Talk to you soon.
Goodbye Lex You
