Can you use a heating pad and/or electric blanket with this?

I use a electric blanket/pad that goes under the sheets and is like a fitted mattress cover. I've used the electric heading blanket/pad all winter and have not seen any break-down of the memory foam topper; however, the electric blanket/pad does not come in direct contact with the memory foam.

I don't know about an electric blanket but I use a heating pad all the time. No problems noticed. But I do have a mattress pad on top of the foam.

As long as you have a nearby outlet I don't see why not....I keep it always on the back of my chair plugged in and ready to choose the level of heat I want each time I need it...ii's a great, soft pad that doesn't bunch and as I said in my review, the only con is that the plug detaches too easily from the pad when I move

Yes. You can also use a low heat pad in colder temperature. Some of soft blanket for them to huddle together to build up their own body heat. Just like you under a blanket. Thanks for taking care of the little ones

You should ask the manufacture of the earthing sheet. Electric blankets arnt good for you tho:/

If you read up online one is preferred but I don't remember which. We use an electric warming pad with removable fleece cover which we wash once the weather warms up.

This provides overall heating similar to an electric blanket but under the body rather than on top. This pad will help with back pain as well as overall soreness but does not substitute for a heating pad. It delivers a gentle overall warmth rather than the targeted heat of a heating pad. My wife & I both suffer back pain and this pad helps.

I think it would be like using an electric blanket which I use all the time with my memory foam bed. But to be safe, contact the company selling the mattress and ask.

I don't know for sure, but my supposition is that most of the warmth and comfort would be absorbed by the memory foam . I think an electric blanket would be more suitable and will warm the bed nicely. I happen to have both, and use them both. Good luck...

The underside is a thin plastic/vinyl material and it has a removable pillow that goes on top of that. I don't know if the materials would be a fire hazard if used with a heating blanket, although being that it is a thin bottom layer under the removable pillow, that layer could possibly melt with enough heat. I can say that this bed is warm enough for any pet to not need a heating pad because it retains their body heat inside. If it is going to be used outside, I would choose a bed with a smaller entrance hole and/or put the heating pad on top of the included pillow, not underneath.

Dear Peter, Thank you for your question. Shield Life makes heating pads like the Shield Life TheraPad XL or TheraPad Lite, but they do not have an electronic warmer (could you please clarify what this is?). Thank you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions. Also be sure to check out our site greathealthtech(dot)com! Regards, Sales Team

Yes, I think you could use it at the top of your bed as you could always turn it off if you were getting too warm. I don't like an electric blanket as it is too warm for me. I was very pleased with the smaller bed warmer to help keep my feet warm. I also have arthritis issues in my shoulders and plan to have total shoulder replacement surgery on the 21st of this month. It was suggested that you could place it behind your shoulders while sitting in a recliner, but I didn't try that method. It is a very nice heating pad that can be used for many other purposes.

It's similar to a regular heating pad with a velour like cover, so I'd be uncomfortable using it outside. I have mine in the garage. I don't have my original packing and I can't remember what the manufacturer's recommendations were.

You don't need a thermarest pad with this because it's a hammock thereby eliminating ground pads altogether. If you really want to keep warm just wrap up in a good wool blanket and climb into it.They do sell a system similar to that on their website though so check that out if you are really concerned about it.

You're probably not supposed to do so. I had a cat get a nasty burn from sleeping on a pad. However, this pad has a pretty wide range of heat settings and won't run for more that 60 minutes (easy to set for less) so it's probably pretty safe. Note that it's thicker that a typical pad and might not be as comfortable. I use mine for back pain when sitting in the sofa but have nodded off once or twice.

I don't see why not. There were no warnings from the co. I would use my heated mattress pad with no reservations. Have a good day.

It may depend on the cause of the pain. I recently purchased 2 so I can warm up the 2nd before the 1st one gets too cool. An electric heating pad may work as well, but electric doesn't allow the wearer to move about freely. The electric pad, though, will keep a constant temperature.

Actually that is exactly how I use it. I have a mattress pad, the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, the electric blanket and another sheet over it because we have a dog who is 200 pounds who gets into our bed and I do not want him to sleep directly on the electric blanket. It has worked for both my husband, myself and the dog. You will find that a blanket on top of the electric blanket will make it retain heat better and you will not need to set the number so high for warmth.
