Your skin temperature is a few degrees cooler.  So 100F underneath you would certainly feel warm, especially with blankets (your skin is used to 72 degree air after all).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ben]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 21st 2007 10:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ChiliPad keeps your mattress hot, cold]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/21/chilipad-keeps-your-mattress-hot-cold/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/21/chilipad-keeps-your-mattress-hot-cold/</guid><description><![CDATA[FWIW, I have a water bed (big whoop, wanna fight about it?) and setting it to anything higher than 90* is almost unbearable for me...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[daaper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 21st 2007 11:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ChiliPad keeps your mattress hot, cold]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/21/chilipad-keeps-your-mattress-hot-cold/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/21/chilipad-keeps-your-mattress-hot-cold/</guid><description><![CDATA[This makes no sense whatsoever.
