too warm on foam pad: Any ideas about dealing with the problem?

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

I too have a memory foam mattress. It's very lightweight and so far I haven't had difficulties with it making the bed too hot.

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

The mattress pad is just as good as the day I bought it. We just bought an identical one for another bed in our home. I am not hot sleeping on it, it doesn't have the heat reproducing qualities found in standard foam pads. Hope this helps you in your decision.

I had thought about a heating pad too - maybe on a low setting. There is a nice thick fluffy cushion inside that you can take out to wash. The underneath is not plastic - I'm not sure what it is. It looks like fabric but feels kind of paper-y. Just buy it and return if you don't like it. For $20 it's a pretty good deal.

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 got too warm! Very comfy and no aches this morning, but took awhile to adjust to the feel. I had to keep my feet uncovered part of the night and felt too warm if in one position too long. It was 47* outside last night and I had windows open. I'll keep trying...

Yes. I don't see why not. I bought a cover for the mattress so if you do that, the heated mattress pad won't be directly on the foam.

Since this pad can easily be overheated and cause a serious burn to the skin, I would suggest that this customer contact the company for specific directions- if he has removed the contact numbers perhaps Amazon could assist with the correct phone number. DJones

I just used K&H; self warming pad, with old small blanket I had laying around. I also had it up on my deck & had it wind block with a tarp. I made sure I had it turned out of the wind & snow could not get in. Hope this will help you :)

You might try the "Bodymed Digital Moist Heating Pad. It measures 14x14 inches, it can be set from warm to very hot temperature. You can lock in your most comfortable temperature and it stays on for up to a hour long. This I'm sure is a safety feature. The control pad does not light up which I thought was a minor issue. Cost about $40.00. Good luck.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

I can't but I also bought a regular cheap pad to lay over the top plus my fitted sheet. I don't even know its there. Plenty warm. Sometimes number 2 setting gets to warm for me. I really doubt you'll be disappointed.

I also have a memory foam on top and I do not have an issue with it feeling too hot and I over heat pretty easy. I do have sheets that don't keep heat and I run a fan on me at all times when I'm sleeping.

It's very cozy now since the weather is quite chilly. I ordered it because it's supposed to be cooling and until the weather changes I won't be able to tell. However, manufacturer info included with the pad does not state it to be cooling.

We use a heating pad but they dont stay hot long. Probably should heat in pot of water.

I did. Fold along natural lines in the pad and turn the pad half way through the heating cycle. Hope this helps. Sarah
