I need to lay on this. Where does the moisture come from. Will it get my bed wet?

not really wet just feels damp, I have it against my couch and its not wet. does not hold the heat for long, and I dont use it that much because of that.

I put mine in a pillow case. Yes there might be a little moisture but I don't find it bothersome. You might try putting a towel under it. I lay on mine all the time.

no i have no idea where the moisture come from and it does not get any thing wet im really happy with mine the only thing i can say bad about it is its not bendable so its just good if you need it flat for a back leg stomach

Oh no - should never wet it! Doesn't need water to create moist heat. Contains "100% natural grains" according to the box. Smells good when heated, but I imagine they would go bad very quickly if wet. You can clean the cover with a damp cloth if necessary. Better yet, wrap it in a clean, light-weight towel to keep it clean.

It is made of felt. I don't know if it is waterproof, have it under my bed.

I disagree with the previous comment. I've been using this mattress on a wood floor, and it must be aired and dried out constantly or else water will condense on the entire underside of the foam and cause mold. I've been looking for a good slatted base to put it on so that it will breathe.

You absolutely do not want to let it get wet. Once it fully dries out by evaporation (no heating) it will probably work.

It does not produce moisture on its own. You must introduce moisture via a damp cloth. It works fine that way.

It will definitely get to wet. Take it to the laundry mat. That's what I do.

Possibly, it is made with a lot of plastic, and is a wall mounted item. If you mount it about 6' off the floor, under a patio roof, not screen, you should get a lot of use out of it. So to clearify, DAMP = yes / WET = no. I hope this is helpful.

This just puts out a low amount of heat into the area to help keep the moisture level down. Uses very little electricity . I use it in my travel trailer and I live in a very wet area during the winter. It gets cold but more wetness....

It's big enough to use it in any position. The directions say you're not supposed to lay on it and lay it on yourself instead, but I've used it both ways (under and on top of me). This is the best heating pad I've ever had. I don't know how it makes moisture, but it does. It has lasted me longer than the cheaper ones too!

Nope - all of the excess moisture is released as steam through a small vent in the top. If you operate it under your kitchen cabinet though the steam will warp the wood above (I noticed when it was too late lol).

I put mine on a cheap TV tray that I got from Target. It doesn't seem to get wet during the night. It does need to be on a hard surface, I was worried and put it on a towel the first night and the towel was damp in places the next morning. (Could be also from when I put the tank in, water might have dripped out.) But straight on the tray, no problems with wetness.

The way that this thermophore hot pad works is to draw moisture from the air in order to deliver moist heat. When you lay on the pad, it is not able to get moisture from the air. It still works, only it will be a dryer heat. Also, due to the fact that this pad has some internal structure that helps weigh it down to mold to the body, laying on it over time can compromise the integrity of the pad. Still, having said all of that, I do sometimes lay on the pad, and lean back against it. If you are going to lay on it, it's best to let it heat up exposed to air, then put it under you.

I have it on my Grandmother's dresser and I have not noticed any moisture on the wood or the mirror. It is a very fine mist, so maybe it isn't heavy enough to drop.

I think any humidifier can cause issues with moisture on a wood floor. This one is pretty good, but I have concrete floors. I would'nt trust any thing that has a container of water on wooden surfaces. You can always put something non-porus underneath it.

I used it to make a mattress. I think if it gets wet it would soak water like a sponge.&#9748;&#65039;

Hey more moisture then submergeable. I would sugest camoing it up some in an addtional container. Like a pvc style box you get at one of hardware stores. I use mine on an apartment off my porch. So its pretty dry.
