do instructions say that it is OK to sleep on it?

Not for sleeping on but it is divine. It's soft and you can drape it over your shoulders or over your feet. I live in LA where it's never cold but it's just enough when watching TV or lying in bed to take the chill off.

The instructions say no specifically. However our baby sleeps in it during the day when we are present. She loves it.

It's designed to sit on (and it is quite high), not sleep on unless you want a high pillow for your head. If you have a low back problem, it is usually suggested that you sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees (to keep your lower back from twisting). Good Luck.

I cannot say if you are able to do so on this Conair, but I use to sleep on my old one, although it is not advised.

I would be comfortable with my baby sleeping on it belly down. It has some cush but is not thick or soft enough to pose a health risk in my unexpert opinion.

The paperwork that came with it gave some recommendations for time to lay on the mat. I do 10 min. or so, which is enough for me. I don't think going to sleep on it is a good idea, personally.

It is firm enough to be safe, but soft enough to be comfortable. We love our MamaDoo! Get it now before family travels over Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you will not regret it. Oh, and look at the recommended sheets and waterproof pads for it, it is a soft material that needs protection. Hope that helps!

Yes, you need to sleep on one side or the other because of the bar. It works ok for me since the other side is for cloths bag, shoes etc.

If you sleep on your back, absolutely! If you sleep on your side (like me), also fine. If you sleep on your stomach... can't say I've tried that, but I think it would be okay although not ideal...

No, I think it is perfect for me. I would just recommend putting a mattress protector and light sheets over it.

I wouldn't hesitate to sleep on it. However I would first do my best to make sure there is nothing under it sharp enough to penetrate thru the tarp, just as you would a tent. But in all honesty I believe it wasn't designed to be slept on, but to be slept under.

Manufacturer states you are not to sit or lay on it. But my doctor said it was fine for me to lay on it as long as I don't program temperature too high and DONT FALL ASLEEP. The pad needs to CONFORM to your body. I find laying on my foam mattress topper is perfect for my back. Manufacturer wants you to lay it on TOP of your body. My doctor told me they have to say that or people, if they fell asleep could get burned if the digital control malfunctioned for instance. I've been using this pad regularly and it produces very good moisture! I'm happy with this pad. I prefer the control to Thermophore. I own both. I prefer BodyMed controller.

I bought this when my son was about 6 months and I tried having him sleep on it and he would just roll off of it but he does love the elephant as a stuffed animal and he sleeps with it every night. I imagine it should be perfectly safe to sleep on to answer your question... Hope this was helpful!! Also it came with a really neat and colorful baby cloth ;)

you need to put something down first. You will need a futon cushion, and then it might be a pain in the ass to attatch the sleep pad to the cushion. The topper isn't thick enough and you'll feel the bars.

I think it might be too uncomfortable to sleep on for a month. It doesn't provide that much cushioning, and was a little stiff. Maybe if you put a foam topper or something over it, it might be okay, but just by itself might be kind of pushing it.

Yes, I think it is okay for side sleeping. However, an elbow or hip or something might contact through the pad to the ground depending on your overall weight and weight distribution. I weigh over 200 lbs, but find I can sleep on my side okay.
