You probably got a "SoftHeat" (made by Perfect Fit maybe?), I love them, they are really good quality. One of the problems they have is that they are not aware of the temperature and after a few hours usually get too hot and really uncomfortable. When using them I usually wake up feeling too hot and have to turn them off.

Yep, it's a Soft Heat. And yes, the dial goes up to 10; I set it to 2ish before bed, then turn it down to slightly less than 1 before falling asleep. That's usually low enough that I don't get too warm in the night, but I have occasionally woken up and turned it off. (I can't even conceive of someone setting it higher than 3 or so...)

Given that we just got it I'll probably hold off on this project for now, but I definitely see an upgrade in the future!
