Can I use it under the pillows instead that under the mattress? Thank You

I agree with Barbara that if you do try to use it under the pillows, you cover it with something first. My guess is it will still work better under the mattress, because it does tend to shift a bit over time, and that will be worse with less weight on it.We haven't had problems with leakage, though, and except for resetting its position from time to time, the genie has worked quite well for us.

i have it under my mattress. don't know why it wouldn't work under you pillow. i really like my genie.

First of all, you would have to have something in the back of the mattress genie - like a headboard - to keep it under the pillows. I think it would be very uncomfortable .. sort of like putting a pillow on a triangle inner tube ... and you lose the benefit of the comfort of the mattress. I wouldn't recommend it.

you could try, but each of the 3 sides is only about 15 - 18" high, not enough to elevate your whole upper body (can't measure, not at home). i don't put it under the mattress, I put a board over it since my husband doesn't need the elevation (king bed, twin Genie for me).

You can certainly position the Genie under the pillows if you wish but I do not think the support you get is as even and smooth as it is when it is under the mattress. Try it that way and see what works for you.

I don't know if this would work or not...sorry. We have only used it under the mattress. I would suggest if youdid want to use it on top of the mattress under the pillows that you cover it first with a blanket or comforter and then put the pillows on top. However, I am not sure that when the mattress genie is inflated and deflated if it would remain stationery without moving some. We have had no problems with leakage of air in the genie.

I dont think it would work wihout the mattress...i have had no problems with leakage....i would think the plastic would be uncomfortable to lay on without the mattress and probably squeak when you moved on it....i love it tho....

That's a good question - I suppose you could. It's worth a try:) Perhaps, without the weight of the mattress on it, it wouldn't leak so much.

Not really with the way it is designed. Also I had to send mine back after just over a week because it kept going flat.

Yes you can, I used it on memory foam pillows. It is great if you can leave it out in the sun as well.

Hi! Using a pillowcase is completely up to you. It would not interfere with the Memory Foam or the pillow design. Thank you, TheHomeLiquidator

Yes you can, the cover is similar to a pillow case except the opening is much larger and easier to manage. the cover does not fit real tight and is easy to maneuver over the mattress.

As far as I know you can. If you have an adjustable foundation, or if you don't, if you use just the mattress. It should work fine.

Yes, but it is lower than a typical loft bed so depending on the thickness of the mattress the person sleeping undernear may be very uncomfortable.

Of course:-) I honestly get pretty tired of having to pick my sons pillows up every day to put them back on the bed. Im sure it would work just as well as any other bed. There's a couple of inches between the head board & mattress as well.

Yes, you can lay it directly on mattress sheet and have your shoulders laying on it. No, I don't believe it will do much good underneath a pillow as there would be little way for it to get through to pillow top. I have also used it wrapped in pillow case up against my neck/shoulders area from a seated position when I feel a hot flash coming.

You can short term. But for longer it would probably need a futon/slatted base for air circulation. FYI I'm a side sleeper and found it uncomfortable.

I have a sleep number bed with a memory foam topper. The topper does not give at all under the pillow. It is heavier than a regular pillow but not heavy enough to sink more than a millimeter or so.

You can, but of course the pillow elevates your hips some so you may want to put pillows under your back as well.

Yes you can, especially the connector at the foot of the bed. We have a sleep number split king which I love but these heated pads are thin so you feel the wires and connector. Also the thin nylon mesh type material used to make the sides will tear easily. The elastic is too stretchy so not a snug fit. I recommend Beautyrest brand as that was my last king which is 10 years old and is still in use plus held up to washing each year after use.

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 think there would need to be some kind of firm foundation under the mattress. Bed slats or something like that would not work.

Yes you can. I've use it a couple of time on the floor sleeping with my dog. in fact the dog love sleeping on it.

I don't know why not. Might have to leave it under inflated so it would bend where the bed bends but what you have is three pieces of wood hinged together and you could pretty much use anything mattress-like that can bend. The mattress is stopped from sliding off by a small rail at the bottom.

I'm sure you can. I chose to put it under so I can wash only the pad if needed, and not the pad and the sheets
