is it safe to use with a heated mattress pad or heated blanket?

I don't know about the heated mattress pad, but I would think the heated blanket would be fine. I often sleep with heating pads and haven't had any issues. I haven't actually used a heated blanket though, so I'm not sure.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be safe. Surely it doesn't get that hot! We have our bridge under a 2" memory foam topper and the bridge is similar material. We use an electric blanket some and have had no issues.

I use a heated blanket and have had no issues. Can't comment on a heated mattress pad, though.

As far as I could tell it was safe, we did use it with the heated mattress pad. However, we discontinued using it altogether after a very short time because we found it to be a poorly designed item. It shifted, and in shifting it pushed the mattresses apart! Maybe if your mattress is heavier you will have better luck.

I run a B and B so after joining beds, I also use a waterproof matress cover over that bridge. I find it helps keeping beds together, so with all that your electric choices shouldn't matter :)

Good question and I would think the mattress maker would have that answer. I do not know. I use the heated mattress pad on a conventional inner spring mattress.

Yes, that's no problem. Just make sure you don't put a mattress pad on top of your "electric pad". We love ours.

Seeing as how the skirt part has no heating elements in it, it's safe to discard that part and use only the heated area. I'd hem up the edges to prevent fraying. Otherwise, you have a good idea going there! I've enjoyed my heated pad very much and look forward to once again putting it on our bed for the cooler months!

The Tempur-Pedic Mattress Protector does not indicate that an electric heating pad couldn't be used in conjunction. Therefore, I think it is safe if you wanted to use an electric blanket w/ it.

I think so. Mine is outside, with a foam/ vinyl cover on top. With the blanket on, the heater comes on less. I put the bubble side down and trimmed it a bit larger than the top and it works well. I read on line that it is more energy efficient to keep it warm all the time vs turning it down to cool when not in use and then heating it all up again before using . I find this to be true also. I am not an expert.

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'm pretty sure they don't want you to use either a heated mattress pad (my fav way to stay warm when it's cold) or even an electric blanket but go to their website and make sure for yourself.

It is my understanding that diabetics are advised NOT to use heated pads or blankets on their feet. I would check with your doctor or endo.

I use a Babesafe Mattress wrap. Before that I used Carter's Keep Me Dry flannel mattress pads. They were perfect because they lay right on top and don't wrap around the edges. Now that the mattress is wrapped I don't use anything.

It is unlikely a normally-operating electric blanket will melt this topper, as the foam reflects/traps enough heat that the temperature control will kick in as if a person were under the blanket. I would not recommend an electric blanket, however, as the viscose foam sleeps VERY warm. You will find that more than your own body heat (except in unusually cold conditions) may be warmer than you prefer.

Sure! All mattresses on the market today are compatible with a heated blanket.

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.

You can not feel the wires in the mattress pad. It is very easy to sleep on. It has variable temp settings but no variable timer. However I do not recommend this product since the connector from the control unit to the mattress pad has melted and failed twice for me. There are scortch marks on the mattress pad. I changed to a different brand after it melted the second time.

It would be dangerous if it did get hot, even a regular heating pad turns itself off after a short time period. This is an important safety feature. It is supposed to warm the bed enough so that you do not shiver and shake when you crawl in.

Yes it's ok to use inside a sleeping bag or under the blankets when you are camping, I try to keep them from touching part of the body. They won't burn you as for as I have used them, but they can get hot up against bare skin. Have used them for years this way and have not had a problem, and you stay toasty warm.
