Can I use an electric heating pad on this mattress and not degrade the memory foam? The pad covers the entire surface of the mattress and functions like a heating blanket, except it is under the sheet.

I can't answer that, since I haven't used one on the mattress. You might try to ask someone at a mattress store.

Covers my queen mattress very well -- it also fits under my original mattress cover. This mattress pad was originally purchased to cover a queen bed in a travel trailer. Because the trailer is not used in the winter -- the pad was brought to the house to make the queen bed there more comfortable. Not willing to give up the added comfort at home now - so, purchasing another one for the trailer.

Dear Peter, Thank you for your question. Shield Life makes heating pads like the Shield Life TheraPad XL or TheraPad Lite, but they do not have an electronic warmer (could you please clarify what this is?). Thank you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions. Also be sure to check out our site greathealthtech(dot)com! Regards, Sales Team

NO! not at all, that's one of the key characteristics I love about it. I've always had heat issues with mattress pads, foam, etc. I will definitely buy this again when my current one needs replacing.

The instructions say not to- I'm sure there's a flammability concern.As long as it is not thick, you should still be able to feel the heat/warmth.I don't have a foam top, but I am considering using an extra pad this year since I feel some of the coil bumps now that it is 4 years old. I turn my heater off as I fall asleep since I get TOO hot! :)

We put it under a sheepskin. The company does not recommend using with foam. Great company, you can call and chat with them. I recommend the mattress pad style for just sleeping. My friend has purchased three styles of this product and both she and I are very pleased with how our body aches are greatly reduced and sleep much improved.

I am not certain what sort of field an electric mattress pad creates, but it may not give you the results you desire to ground if being surrounded by an electric mattress pad. Here is a link to their FAQs: http://www.earthing.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1835#d14 scroll to the part about using a laptop-- I'm guessing a mattress pad doesn't generate that much compared to a laptop, but if successful grounding and reducing your exposure to electrical fields is your goal, using a heating pad might not be helpful.

It's not really a heating pad, it's just a fuzzy cloth cover for a heating pad. Hope this helps.

In case anyone is still reading these answers, please be careful when lying on any heating pad. I have severe chronic back pain and slept on one for years. I had burns on my back that matched the wires in the pads. My skin actually turned dark and you could trace the wires from my back. I found out that I can sleep on one IF it is set at the lowest setting AND if it turns off automatically. Since I became more careful the dark marks have disappeared. All manufacturers caution against sleeping or even lying on top of a heating pad. But if you're careful you can do it. You can also try a heated mattress pad which does not get as hot as a heating pad but might work for you. It also obviously covers a much larger area. Please be careful.

Yes, the mattress pad goes on top of the mattress, under the sheet. The cord can come out either at the bottom or the top of the pad, depending how you put it on the mattress. No, it does not interfere with the fitted shape of the sheet.

It's very much like a very "short" electric mattress pad, it lays under the sheets at the foot of the bed, we only use ours on low, but bedding shouldn't be an issue, foam or otherwise.

Not to warm in summer (AC is on) and do use heat pad in winter. Think some heat is absorbed by pad thickness though. Pad makes fitted sheets very tight, worse as they shrink. My pad has been on since I got it, use once a week. No issues with it, sheds a little when new.

We put a fitted sheet over the heated mattress pad always. If you didn't do that you would have to wash the heated mattress pad more often and that would be hard on it.

It actually doesn't work like a regular heating pad. It comes with batteries that you recharge and put into the pad. So once the batteries run out you have to put them into the charging pod and not use the heating pad. A better choice would have been a built in pack that can charge and be used, like a cell phone battery.

The way it is set up under the sheet it will blow the cool air over the top of the mattress pad and under the sheet. Couldn't imagine it would make that much of a difference but I do not have a memory foam so can't give you a definite answer on that. Sorry

Sorry Rick I don't know. What does a heating pad do to a memory foam pillow?

That's exactly how I use mine and it works fine. It's the best heating mattress pad I've ever had.
