Do the bed have to lie flat or can it be placed in or over something? How long is the electric cord for the heater? Thanks in advance for your answers

The bed is just like a human hot pad only not near as hot. It doesn't have to lay completely flat; the cord is 6'; I place mine inside her basket which sits on top of a low table.

I just measured my cord and it is about 64" long. Our cat's bed is on the seat of a reclining chair (that belongs to her) and is very flexible. It folds up one side to fit properly. This has been the best purchase I could have ever made for my cats. Good quality, has lasted for quite awhile now. It used to be on the back of my couch so they could see outside. I hope this helps.

The electric cord is 5ft. The bed doesn't have to lie flat. The heater is made of a thicker plastic that is still pliable (but wouldn't bend in half). For example, if you placed the pad on a basketball, the pad wouldn't bend around the ball on its own; you would have to hold it there. The heater is surrounded by two thin foam pads and everything is inside of a soft cover with a zipper.

Well of course heavy is a relative term, but I routinely place a heavy comforter and a thermal blanket over the top of this item with no problems. In fact, you need to place at least one blanket over the top in order for the heat generated by this blanket to be most effective. Also it is very important to look for the label sewn onto the blanket which instructs you which side of the electric blanket needs to face up on the bed. Placing the blanket on the bed in any other orientation substantially reduces the amount of useful heat produced.

It lays on top of the mattress. Read the reviews. I had to throw mine away. 80 bucks thrown away.

I agree with exactly what the other people have responded. It lays flat depending on the ground. Highly recommend it! My daughter loves her tent.

You can chose to place the heater against the wall of the tank (no cord submersion), or place the heater underneath gravel (cord submerged). I have had the heater at the bottom of my tank for almost a month and have had no problems.

Somewhere between airplane size and a blanket you would put on your bed. It works quick and effectively. This was a much cheaper alternative than getting my daughters automobile heater fixed!

I would think you would have to place it on top of the air mattress. The pet has to put body pressure on the heated pad to get the most body warmth from it. When I got it to test it out I laid a weighted object on it to simulate body weight pressure and plugged it up. You can feel the warmth from pad. I use it in an outdoor house for my cat. She stays nice and warm. But she lays directly on it. The cord is covered in a way to protect the pet from chewing it and getting injured.

I don't think it is a good idea to bend the warmer, or any products like heating pads. I would go for a smaller bed by the same maker.Our large one is enough for my Lab (all 77 pounds of her).

It will lay flat, but the wooden rollers in it would not be comfortable to lay on. I would not recommend it for,the use you are mentioning.

I have had the bed plugged in for just under two months, I have only heard it come on one time. It would only need to use electricity if it is loosing air and needs to adjust the pressure. You could always leave it unplugged until you noticed a difference in firmness to make sure you do not waste electricity.

You can flatten it to lay on it however, it's not quite comfortable. The rollers that massage the back actually hurt against my back (tried it before replying to our question). I wouldn't suggest it to be used in a bed.

About two feet. Enough to place the heater in the middle(under) of a Queen sized free-flow waterbed and have enough cord for control to rest on the floor outside of bed. Screws come with it if you'd prefer to mount it to the bed or the wall (we didn't)

That is exactly where we use it. It seems to be okay, but you still want to be careful that it doesn't fall onto the bed. The cord seems a little short to make it too far - that would be my only complaint.

It will lay down quite far but not "flat" due to safety I would have to assume. But it lays far enough back to let the baby sleep in it. My little man sleeps in it every night right next to his mother.

No, not flat and the on/off switch on the cord endsup either behind furniture or close to the floor!

We just put it right on the bed and used it a few hours later. There were no instructions that said to let it lay flat, so we didn't. Still working well!

The cord is 2 1/2 feet long. This heater will need a larger object placed on top to keep it in position if you place it submerged in a bird bath, such as laying a brick or rock on top. An outdoor extension cord will be needed to make up the distance for how short the supplied cord is.
