This disclosure relates to an auto run mode for initiating a heating cycle of a heated bedding product. A heated bedding product can include a bedding product body comprising a heating element and a controller electrically connected to the heating element. The controller can include a processing circuit, such as a microcontroller, that is configured to operate in an auto run mode in which a heating cycle of the heating element is automatically initiated in response to alternating current power being provided to the controller.

Auto run mode for initiating heating cycle of heated bedding product

A heating blanket system comprises a blanket, one or more heating wires embedded within the blanket, a control switch embedded in the blanket, the control switch being configured to allow a user to adjust a temperature setting of the blanket, and an external control module detachably connectable to the control switch and the one or more heating wires, the external control module configured to receive the temperature setting from the control switch and configured to control current flow through the one or more heating wires based on the temperature setting, the external control module being external to the blanket.
