If you live in a cold climate, a heated mattress pad is a game changer. It lets you sleep more comfortably and also reduce energy use by turning your central heating further down at night. They are pretty ubiquitous in Korea (probably from a legacy of under floor heating and sleeping on mats), but not commonly used in the US. They should be!

I want the reverse of this. I live in the South in the states, so the summers are miserable, and my roommates like it warm (like 75+), but I want to sleep cold and I just sleep so much better that way. I wish there was a way to get the opposite effect efficiently somehow.

Sadly, fans just don't do it for me as the noise bothers me; I don't like much white noise when I'm sleeping.

My fear would be a pad or electric blanket catching on fire.
