Monogram Konnect Smart Heated Mattress Cover | App and Alexa controlled heated bedding | 9 temperature settings and 4 heat zones| Machine washable | Luxurious soft padded finish | King 150 x 200 cm

Almost an ideal mattress protector, but very expensive. But it’s the only one I could find which has the lump where the controls connect at the foot corner and not in exactly the place where you put your arm so my husband said to buy it! Finally a manufacturer has seen sense!So first the blanket, then I’ll explain the (mostly unfairly) maligned Wi-fi control.I bought the king size and it covers the entire mattress surface with a generously deep good quality skirt fabric which goes all the way under my very deep 40cm mattress.The controls plug in at each foot corner (yay!) and there is then a long cable between these and the hand controls so they are near the head of the bed, and a shorter cable from each controller to it’s wall plug.The king size has a separate controller and plug for each side, each side has separate body and feet controls (yay!).The product description says exceptionally thin wires. Well I can feel the tiniest crumb on my sheet so am rather sensitive to the wires in electric blankets. I’d say these wires are about the same as most top end blankets, and personally I’d like a bit more padding please (manufacturer please note), but they are okay - so far.So overall the blanket fits the bed really well with no annoying block at the head to drive my husband crazy and has separate body and feet controls for each side, but maybe more padding over the wires may be needed over time (9/10).You can control the blanket either by the hand controls or by your phone using the App and Wi-fi. Bluetooth is used to set it up.I downloaded the app and installed it on my iPhone without a problem.The Wi-fi controls work well and if you have it set to Wi-fi controls then you can operate the blanket by Wi-fi or the manual controls (10/10).The first thing you need to know is that the controllers have a 3 position slider on the side: on/Wi-fi/manual. You need to put this to Wi-fi in order to connect to your Wi-fi (duh!), the app doesn’t tell you but the instruction booklet (initially unread by me but easy to consult) does.The Wi-fi controls work as if you have two separate blankets.So you pair your phone with one controller, name it and away you go - just follow the instructions from the app (but have the control slide slider set to Wi-fi).You can then set a daily multiple on/off schedule from your phone, or just turn it in and off from your phone, or use the controller like a manual control. Simple:)But there is an issue. It only lets one phone connect to each controller. I initially set it up so I had both controls on my phone (it treats each side like a separate blanket), but found it didn’t remember settings for the second side when I swapped back to the first side, although it always retained the first side.When my husband installed the app and connected up his side to his phone, his side then vanished from my phone.Maybe the engineers thought that only one person should be able to control a blanket and that person doesn’t need to use two blankets at the same time? I can get the logic but regardless it means I can’t switch on both sides from downstairs from my phone; my husband has to fend for himself:)Having said that it has rapid heat-up when turned on.I really didn’t see the need for the Wi-fi controls prior to purchase (was quite scathing about it really) so it was interesting that during the first night of use I found it easier to leave the app open on my phone and use that to control the blanket than to reach down and pick up the controller :)What else to say?I found the manual controls very intuitive and easy to use (which I was concerned about having read other reviews).It has an anti allergy/anti dust mites feature - basically you put it on max for 12 hours and fry the yuckie beasties.It has a 3 year manufacturer warranty, but take note, the manufacturer is honest and says too much washing of the blanket will cause it to deteriorate and says only to wash it 5 times. I never keep an electric blanket more than 3 years for safety reasons so this should be okay. (But maybe the manufacturer might like to make a compatible separate padded cover?)Last thing to note from the instruction booklet, if the product overheats (ie due to a fault), it will turn off needing the manufacturer to reset it so I won’t be risking putting any extra padding on mine myself!Overall, almost a perfect electric under blanket; too expensive, but I am quickly growing to love the (previously thought to be unnecessary) Wi-fi control!Just call me little mrs toasty toes :)

Love being able to set this going from our phones. I do wish the app allowed one person to at least switch on both sides. As it is, you can only register one side, to one device at any one time (I.e. You can't set both up on my and my wife's phone at the same time, so we just have our own). Not a massive deal, but also not hard to implement.Apparently works with Alexa, but we use Google Home. Is it complex to carry over that function to other common platforms?As a mattress warmer though, excellent. Love the separate body and feet zones. Love the timer and 9 levels. It warms up quick enough (15-20 minutes in our bed, but if you forget to turn on in advance, it does at least take the edge off the cold after a few minutes before actually feeling warm.Recommended.

I liked this electric blanket because the lump/power connection is not up at the top like so many others! It covers the entire mattress and I have a deep mattress so that's a positive. It takes a little while to heat up but not too bad. The separate foot and body warmth, plus separate sides is great. The issue is with the remote feature. The App has always been a bit buggy, it has improved with an update. The big issue I now have is that one of the controllers is constantly flashing 'remote' and cannot be controlled by the app. One side is fine. I've reset the controller, deleted and reinstalled the app, all I can think of but nothing has worked. So I now have a manually controlled electric blanket for which I paid a remote controlled price! Great idea but the product doesn't fully do what it is supposed to anymore. I have it over a year now so I don't think there is anything I can do. Expensive mistake.**update to my review. Beurer contacted me with a proposed fix to the remote fail issue but it hasn't helped. I still have one controller that works with the App/Wifi function and one that flashes 'remote'. No response to my request for another solution as yet.**further update. I contacted Amazon about the issue and they sent me a replacement blanket immediately. Incredible customer service. However, the replacement blanket is faulty, the foot zone on one side does not heat up and the controller is glitchy. When changing the heat levels it keeps resetting itself to zero. Will need to contact Amazon to return this one also

The materials and controls are what you expect for the cost of the product. £199 as of Oct 22.You have to add both sides of the bed to your cosy night app if you wish to control the one blanket from your phone. You then have to select each side of the blanket separately to operate it. This is not ideal if you sleep alone and one to just turn the blanket on. You’ve got to do it twice, one for each side.I will give it a week and see how much hassle I feel this is.
