I had the same prob. The manufacturer suggested an extra mattress pad on top. I put two and it worked like a charm!

Call the manufacturer, see if there is any form of a partial trade in for something else?

Michele - i live in Honolulu - 80 degrees F most days. at night, goes down to '70'sF. it's fairly warm. i use the foam pad under my mattress pad and sheet - it is comfortable, doesn't make me feel hot. i got it because i'd broken my shoulder and was in severe pain for months - the pad, plus a "body pillow" helped a lot. it seesm like good "memory foam - hasn't flattened out at all. i hope this is helpful to you. i have it on a "queen-size" bed (actually a futon mattress on a box spring). aloha from honolulu!! - john

i have had this very problem after a few wks of use. I'm on my 2nd and i don't know if it's just the queen size having faulty issues. I use heavier blankets and wait 20 mins before bed, but in the first week I couldn't turn it down enough it was scalding. Now i forever have cold feets! =) UPGRADE!

Is the pillow cold? Was it sitting outside on your porch in the middle of winter? Memory foam is notorious for getting rock solid when exposed to cold temperatures. Wait for it to warm up and test again. It should be softer. If this is not the case, then you might have a faulty product. Thank you for taking the time to read my answer; I hope it was helpful to you!

I have a level 6 and was worried it would be too soft, but I have a thick mattress pad on it and it still is not too soft...I might even put a 1 inch memory foam topper on it just because I am used to a bit of that 'cradle' effect, but I don' like the heat of the thick memory foam at all.

I guess it all depends on your mattress. Our mattress has a cotton blend material on top so Yes...I'm sure this helps the protector to be more breathable & much cooler for us (no more mattress hot spots)However, Not sure how it works with memory foam mattresses, I know that they can get quite hot during sleep which is why we steered away from those (been there done that). We are Very Happy with this product & believe its worth a try! Getting our Zzzzzzzz's

I do have a cover over a 1.5 inch memory foam, the kind with peaks and valleys. To me, the cover does not seem to make the foam hot, BUT I have not used it much yet.

I have purchased two Table Warmers from massage supplier and they both died after about One year of regular use. I have used a heated mattress pad for a twin size bed for about 4-5 years now with no problems.

My memory 4" foam pad seems to keep the bed warmer and I use a lower setting on the heated pad.

I have this pad. I recommend always following the usage directions because if anything goes wrong, you have not a leg to stand on with the company who gave you warning. You might try lying down to put the pad on your back and cover it with a blanket or something to hold in the heat. I use the pad to cover my cold feet. It can get quite hot to touch. I keep it at around 155 f. Higher and I have to fidget to keep it from being uncomfortable. Well, I hope this was helpful. Happy heating.

My mattress is very firm, but it is now beginning to sink where my touchy is and I 've had it for about five months now. Also, I spoke with a someone who has been selling mattresses for years and she stated, "People either love Tempurpedic or they hate it." I will personally not buy any memory foam (mattress, pillows) anymore. DONE!

We put a fitted sheet over the heated mattress pad always. If you didn't do that you would have to wash the heated mattress pad more often and that would be hard on it.

I have not had a problem with any of the 4 heated mattress pads I bought. I've washed them each several times & left mine on my bed even all summer. Send it back. You'll love it when u get one that works

I don't have a temperpedic (but my mattress does have a layer of memory foam) but I don't believe this pad is a "thermal" as you described. This pad was designed to breath...not sure how they do that considering it is supposed to be water proof. I'm laying on it now reading and I can feel it warm up, so there is some transfer of body heat. However, it doesn't make me hot and uncomfortable and I run hot sleeping. The sides are a mesh fabric...probably where it gets its air from. It is relatively inexpensive so I would probably give it a try and return it if you are unhappy with the purchase. If you are using Prime the return is free if you drive it to the delivery service it was delivered to you from...UPS or USPS. I've done it several times and never had a problem. I haven't washed it yet so I don't know how it will hold up but it seems nicely made. Good luck to you.

I have the Shield life TheraPad XL and TheraPad Lite. Both feel warm after they warm up. That takes awhile. That is probably why your were told that they don't feel warm until you get on them. They get pretty hot so don't turn them/it up too much just a hint of warmth is all I need and I could stay on it for a long time.

Myself, I froze on this sleeping Pad. I also bought an insulated one (around $166), but I still froze. I Returned Insulated one, because I still Froze with it. Now I just use a foam pad because with the air sleeping pads - I freeze (could be just me).
