These mats are waterproof and come in other sizes and quantities on Amazon.
I use them under my nesting material. They are secured by pre-drilling and screwing a thin piece of wood over the ends of the mat to hold flat then cover with nesting material. Chopped straw works well. Plug into a thermo-cube to control when they turn on and off.
I have collected eggs that were out all day in temps below 16F.
I collected one night after I got home from work when the temperature was 8F. NO FROZEN EGGS!!

What a great idea. Thanks for reviewing this! Any idea how much this adds to your electrical usage?
 
Oh, and I noticed in some other posts you said you have several inches of bedding in your boxes. Do you currently have this mat under the bedding? I'm currently trying to plan all the little details for our coop build. Thanks!!

Yes, they are under the nesting material in the nest boxes.
