First thing you have to consider when buying a heated floor mat is where you will be using it. There are many different styles, models, and lengths to choose from.

There are small foot warmers that can heat up your cold feet when you are sitting on the couch in front of the television and long wide ones that can be placed as a runner if front of an exterior door to melt the snow and ice from your shoes and boots when you come in from the cold.

If you want just a small one for in front of the bathtub when you get out, or to help keep your feet warm in general, that the smaller ones are a good choice. They are easy to move around, and have adjustable setting to keep your feet just the right temperature.

If you are planning to heat up a walkway in front of the house, or entry, then the longer heated floor mat is going to be more your style. They are available in ten and twenty foot lengths, which can be rolled up when not in use.
