Can it withstand being the layer in between a sheet and another blanket? Will all the cover flipping at night damage it?

Actually that is exactly how I use it. I have a mattress pad, the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, the electric blanket and another sheet over it because we have a dog who is 200 pounds who gets into our bed and I do not want him to sleep directly on the electric blanket. It has worked for both my husband, myself and the dog. You will find that a blanket on top of the electric blanket will make it retain heat better and you will not need to set the number so high for warmth.

Yes, I have it between 2 blankets and it has held up well over the year. It did come with some loose threads but I just trimmed them back and I have not had any other issues with the blanket.

I've tried it both ways. Started with wool up and it seems to "rub off" easily just from the friction of the sheet. So when I changed the sheets I flipped it. We'll see if that helps. Sleeps fine with either side up.

We've had it 6 months and it's been fantastic and still looks great. However, I believe it's only been through the wash once since we use a sheet between us and the blanket.

I have not experienced any symptoms of this using the blanket. I am sure with extended use, that the material will eventually fray to the point that you could experience some Irritation, at which point you would discard and replace it. I am very happy with the performance so far.

I leave it on top of a thin, mattress protector, so we never have that issue at all. Without that protector, it moves until the regular sheet is placed over it. Then it's fine, too.

The Cover is made of a very heavy weight paper, and doubt it would tear easily. I haven't really put it to the test though.

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

it is heavy but you could flip it. No need though as it is the same on each side.I guess if you stain one side you could flip it.No change in firmness though.I would recommend a waterproof cover. They make some for people with allergies that zip on.My daughter got sick and left a sweat stain from the fever.

The fitted bottom sheet does stay on very well. The top sheet can't really be tucked under. I leave it loose draped under the blankets.

It isn't bad if you do not put anything on top of it. For me the nap is a huge problem as the blanket travels while you sleep! In our case the sheet (under blanket) and quilt (on top of blanket) travel to one side of the bed and the blanket travels to the other side of the bed. The distance it travels is between 12-18 inches. Very frustrating, so I bought a duvet cover and have safety pinned the blanket to it to make the blanket easier to manage.

The material is heavy enough that it stays in place just fine without anything on the corners. I use mine on top of the mattress and under the fitted sheet--works great!

Nope. Even when up to have full access of the bed. No issues. I love this cover. Even folds as low was negative 24f. A little stiff. But works.

I don't see that it would have an effect on keeping the fitted sheet on. In my case, my flannel sheet stayed on before the zippered case and it says on now, and my regular cotton sheet came off during the night before the case and it comes off now. The case has no special grippy properties, nor is it slippery.

It is a sheet that is closed in, I would say no you can't do that however if you want to try it let me know how it works out. We used it as a top sheet, because we had the sleeping bag we used this to cover up.

We bought it for an adult using a hospital bed to keep his sheets dry, but I guess it COULD go under the sheet. That, of course, would protect the mattress but not the sheet.

You shouldn't flip it The bottom has a firm, rough finish. The top has a 2-inch memory-foam like layer that should stay on the top.

I've only had my Queen cover & split box spring covers since Jan., but the fabric is tightly woven & the construction seems VERY durable to me. The sides & bottom are of the same fabric (for mattress cover) and when pulled have a bit of a stretch to them -and the sides are pulled /kept together by a zipper on all 3 sides. The construction is superb. It seems logical with the tightness of the zipper joining the fabric (so no bugs come thru the stitching around the cover sides) that normal wear & tear from adult weight & kids tossing & turning on your mattress would NOT result in tearing. It was hard for us to zip it up (it takes two people) and the fabric was strong - if it were weak fabric, we would have seen small tears around where it was sewn due to our handling to make sure the twin box springs (& queen mattress cover) were tight & secure. I've also sewn clothes & repaired my kids clothes most of my life, and this product's fabric feels & seems quite durable. Q: Is your wood platform surface unfinished or does it have a rough surface that could produce splinters or tearing in the fabric's bottom, if there was lots of movement (e.g., jumping by kids) that could produce sliding of the mattress on the platform during use? How smooth is your large sheet of wood to touch? If it is not rough, you should have no problems. If you still have doubts, I'd suggest you contact the company directly if you are really concerned. The company should be able to give you the technical fabric specs (e.g., just like threads count for sheets determine their durability). Hope this helps.
