Can you feel the wires if you lay on top of the blanket?

You are not supposed to lay on top of an electric blanket, and no I've never done it, I would think you would feel them though.

My 76 year old Mom is the user of this product. She is very sensitive and does not lay on it but uses it as a cover only. I did ask her if she thought she would feel them if she was to lay on it and she thinks she would.

My Mom uses this item, she is 76 and has very sensitive skin. She says if she were to lay on she does think she would feel them.

Of course you would feel the wires if you lay on top of the blanket. However if you lay beneath it and use the product as intended you cannot. This is a product is a Blanket and as such is meant to be used as a covering. It is not a mattress warming pad.

Yes you can, my dog use to shew up, everything all her beds and blankets but she hasn't do anything this one, and the wired is safe

That's an interesting question, but I don't believe that would be the case. The wires are on top but then there are strong metal bars which run opposite direction of the wires. While I cannot be certain that pressure won't force a tiny amount of the mattress through the cubed holes, I'm sure the mattress will be just fine on top of the frame. If you believe your mattress is marshmallow soft underneath, then I would recommend getting a box spring to alleviate your fear since few frames will then suit your purpose.

We have a comforter on top of the blanket, and it works fine. If you put a top sheet underneath a normal blanket, you should do the same with this blanket. No need for anything between the comforter and the blanket unless the comforter is made of some exotic material that doesn't like heat.

I found that the mattress pads are very generous in size. If your mattress is not overly thick, it will probably fit, since these are sized to fit up to 18" mattresses. I use a 100% cotton quilted mattress pad over the top, so that I am not sleeping directly on the polyester pad. I do not feel the wires, but I can feel the connector at the bottom near the feet. I just put extra padding over that, and have no problems.

It is not very thick, maybe 3/8". Enough for the wires to be encased in. I would not rely on this as a pillow top. We actually use it under our existing pillow top, over our sleep number mattress. We LOVE it but if you sleep on just that, you can feel the wires from time to time. Not bad but noticable here and there. We initially used an oversized fluffy comforter as a pillow top and it helped and was easier to wash. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else! We really do love it.

I don't think electric blankets were made to lie on, only to lie under. Wires can be subject to breaking if too much weight is put on them, making them unsafe and possibly causing fires.

That is a question that you should be asking the electric blanket manufacturer. I haven't owned an electric blanket in a long time, but the last one I had specificly stated that you should never lay on the blanket. The weight of a person can cause the electric wiring that is in the blanket to pull lose or break and cause a fire hazard. Concerning this specific egg crate foam, in my opinion it is not heavy duty enough to use. The foam is too soft for the egg crate to work properly.

I can't feel them through the sheet. They're small wires. If you pull the sheet back, you can detect them with your hand.

No, there are wires that connect the control to the blanket. One of those wires broke off at the insert to my blanket. The blanket was less than 2 years old. I contacted the manufacturer and they replaced the control. The new one is just like the last one. It is not very well made, use care when using, the wires are fragile.

I use it at night on my bed and put it under a mattress pad. I still only use it on the 2 or 3 setting and can feel the heat. I will say that with the fleece on this pad, it is not necessary to put anything over the pad ... you can not feel the wires when you lay on the pad like you can with other pads.

Hi,Instructions recommend that the blanket be placed with the bottom connector on top. For me however one of the controllers did not work at all so I returned the blanket. I cannot validate if it is ok to flip it over.

No. You need an analog blanket. They don't make them anymore. But might find something on eBay.

I can't but I also bought a regular cheap pad to lay over the top plus my fitted sheet. I don't even know its there. Plenty warm. Sometimes number 2 setting gets to warm for me. I really doubt you'll be disappointed.

You can not feel the wires in the mattress pad. It is very easy to sleep on. It has variable temp settings but no variable timer. However I do not recommend this product since the connector from the control unit to the mattress pad has melted and failed twice for me. There are scortch marks on the mattress pad. I changed to a different brand after it melted the second time.

I am not sure. I always turn on my blanket to pre-warm my bed. I hate getting under cold sheets.

From the end of the blanket, there is plenty of cord. The cord goes to one side of the bed and drops a control, then then under the bed to the other side to drop the other control, and then there is cording that can reach a wall outlet or an extention cord. We keep ours on the floor because I don't like the lights. The height of our bed allows for easy adjustment, when needed. I am finding the blanket is a bit warmer than I would like for the summer when it is off, however, the plug to the blanket is so difficult to remove that I just leave it on the bed.
