Should any additional material be placed over over the heated blanket?

I don't think you need it. Although I do have a comforter over mine but i am on a pourch with no heat. I dont have my blanket set over 5 or it to hot and i kick it off in the middle of the night

I have not run into that problem, I use my blanket as insulation on my Treager BBQ unit and works fine no problems.

We just use a twin sheet, fold it under and then put a blanket on top of that. Works well.

Personally, I keep mine pinned under a thick blanket, the heat comes right through, the blanket cushions the wires and then sheets on top keeps it pretty clean.

The blanket is nice and could give some amount of protection. However i wont advice that this alone would do.

Always put the electric blanket on top. We absolutely love ours. We used electric blankets a lot back in Indiana but had not used one in Texas until last year. It will keep you toasty and we love that ours has dual controls as my husband doesn't like as much heat as I do. We highly recommend this beautiful blanket. We just leave the electric cord between our mattress and box springs all year so it is easy to hook it back up again when we need it back on the bed.

The underside is a thin plastic/vinyl material and it has a removable pillow that goes on top of that. I don't know if the materials would be a fire hazard if used with a heating blanket, although being that it is a thin bottom layer under the removable pillow, that layer could possibly melt with enough heat. I can say that this bed is warm enough for any pet to not need a heating pad because it retains their body heat inside. If it is going to be used outside, I would choose a bed with a smaller entrance hole and/or put the heating pad on top of the included pillow, not underneath.

Nothing of the sort. It's just an extra layer under the sheets. No heat issues at all on my end.

No. The instructions clearly state "Do Not cover your Original Lectro-Kennel with blankets or materials other than a fleece K&H; Lectro-Cover. Other coverings may not allow heat to radiate properly and could cause pad failure."

Not yet. Good blanket, very pleased. Used with cover top so that wouldn't be a major issue for me anyway.

I just used K&H; self warming pad, with old small blanket I had laying around. I also had it up on my deck & had it wind block with a tarp. I made sure I had it turned out of the wind & snow could not get in. Hope this will help you :)

No you have to put a sheet over it but my mom loves it she even has a blanket on top of it besides the sheet and lays on that and it still warms her bed nicely

That has not been an issue so far, and we live in the really hot desert...I do have a zip on cover over mine, followed by an old fashioned mattress cover, then the sheet. That may have been adequate to prevent over heating.

Sounds defective if you have gone over the directions and this problem still persists I would return the item. My blanket only partially heats up. Personally I'm not impressed with this item.

The feral I kept warm would not use a blanket- straw worked right away. Under the straw you can add the heated blanket or I used the reflective blanket material that keeps body heat in. I put the reflective material under the straw. I made the straw thick around the sides and the bottom a bit less. I kept extra straw on hand for rainy or snowy days to replace the wet. She loved it while she was with me.

I would just have a fleece single layer on these. I would not put anything thicker as the heat from these have to penetrate through whatever you put on there.
