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.

Make sure you have the connection ito the blanket right, because if it's not the blanket will not heat up at all. that's what happened to me, it can go in two different ways but only one way works...

Yeah I had the same problem. I had to scoot the couch closer to the wall and you really have to lay with your feet toward the end of the couch closer to the wall with the outlet. I'm not sure how other blankets work to know if this is a good design or not. I just assumed that to be electric you had to plug it in so you were stuck with the wires. Works good for me though, but it might be that I just don't know any better :).

I felt very cold when I first started using the sheet but now use a heavy blanket on top of me & that takes care of it. I'm not sure it's the grounding sheet's problem though. A tester was also included in the package to test the sheet to make sure it is still grounded, so make sure your sheet is working correctly. The material feels like light cool cotton so I think that 'cool' is normal for breathable cotton.

No not at all. It's actually really comfortable. The wires are pretty thin.

I really can't feel the wires at all. And, instead of hot vs cold zones, it's more like hot vs really hot zones, but that's usually if you have something like a pillow or folded blanket on top. I've had numerous heating pads like this, and this one is the best by far. I highly recommend it!!

Kind of. When you push in on it with your hand you can feel clumps of memory foam. It is kind of hard to describe the feeling but it is a pleasent feeling. It is very suddle and when laying on it you don't feel it at all.

Always put the electric blanket on top. We absolutely love ours. We used electric blankets a lot back in Indiana but had not used one in Texas until last year. It will keep you toasty and we love that ours has dual controls as my husband doesn't like as much heat as I do. We highly recommend this beautiful blanket. We just leave the electric cord between our mattress and box springs all year so it is easy to hook it back up again when we need it back on the bed.

I do feel wires, but I don't find them uncomortable - my mattress pad sits on top of a feather bed which sits on top of a pillow-top matterss, so that could be why. The mattress pad isn't programmable - it will stay on for ten hours at whatever temperature you set it.

This goes on top, the mattress pad version is the one you sleep on top of. That being said I find it best to put this between the sheet and whatever blanket you're using. Trapping all the warm awesomeness in :-)

No, I've not. You could, however find cloth you like and decoupage it on to the front, back and inside covers. The wire binding would still show, of course.

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.

I live in the South and do not turn my blanket on every night. I have had this blanket for about a year and still love it with no complaints. It really feels so nice to get into a warm bed at night and keeps my feet so toasty. Really love my electric blanket!

No. Although not as quiet as a fleece blanket it doesn't make near the noise of the Mylar blanket. (Much warmer also)

We have a very deep pillow top king sized bed, and it is very roomy on our mattress. You don't feel the wires when sleeping on the mattress pad, and there is no need to put anything over the pad other than your sheet. It is a fantastic product, and we are thrilled with ours. I give it the highest rating, and would purchase again.

No, cannot feel any wires, although can feel the patch at center foot of the bed where the cord plugs in.

Personally, I keep mine pinned under a thick blanket, the heat comes right through, the blanket cushions the wires and then sheets on top keeps it pretty clean.
