Which is better for cold feet?

The Bwarm. It has extra foot coils near the bed edge and separate foot zones with their own 9 heat levels, so feet can run warmer than the body. The Beautyrest heats each side as one zone.

Which has more heat control?

The Bwarm, with 9 levels per zone across 4 zones and a 1–12 hour timer. The Beautyrest offers 5 settings and a fixed 10-hour shut-off.

Does the Beautyrest fit a thick mattress?

Yes. Its fitted skirt fits mattresses up to 18 inches. The Bwarm listing does not state a mattress-height fit, so measure before buying.

The Bwarm backs its pad with a 5-year warranty; the Beautyrest listing states no warranty. Longevity also depends on washing care, and the Beautyrest is machine washable.

Is the Bwarm worth the extra?

If you want zone-by-zone heat and a longer warranty, yes. If you just want an even, simple warm bed, the Beautyrest covers that for less in most stores.

Do I get two controllers with both?

The Beautyrest Queen, King and Cal King come with two controllers; Twin, Twin XL and Full get one. The Bwarm listing shows a single LCD multi-zone controller for its Queen pad.
