Does it get as warm as heating pads did, decades ago? I've returned a purchase to Walmart because it didn't heat satisfactorily and they explained t.

I wouldn't say it gets burning hot on the highest level, but it's pretty warm. So to answer your question directly about the decade ago ones, I would say no it's not quite.

Yes. Unfortunately, like all heating pads now, it goes off after a certain time. Thankfully, with this one it lasts an hour or two. Just love how we're all "protected" now because we're apparently too stupid to use things correctly. Sorry. Venting. :)

I wish my memory was as good as yours. I felt for continuing use that the medium setting was fine. I thought the High setting was OK when you first put it on, but that it did get quite warm. Of course this is subjective, my hot might be your medium, but for the price I think it is an all around good pad.

I don't remember the "heat factor" from decades ago, but I can tell you that I fractured 3 vertebrae 2+ decades ago and have back issues as a result and this works fine. I seldom use the highest setting. But I use it every day and it works great. Hope that helps.

I don't know how hot yours used to get, but mine gets very hot. I can only use it on the lowest setting which is one out of four.

It reaches a very high temperature :) I've used several heating pads, and all of my SunBeam products have been more than sufficient in this department. The particular pad you are inquiring about actually has 4 separate settings, Low to High-High, which I often find is actually too* hot. The soft exterior of the pad makes it much more like a heated blanket, so burns are hard to come by, even with the high heat ability. If this is your only concern, I'd definitely recommend it!

Mine gets very warm. In fact, I keep it on the two lowest settings all of the time. The two higher ones would be too hot for me. So there is a lot of range with the heat in this one.

No it doesn't get as hot as the older heating pads did that could even burn your skin. This one gets comfortably warm but definitely not hot.

I have this mattress pad on a Tempurpedic mattress and I do not find it to be hotter than normal.

In my opinion, no. It comes with a unique cover (?made of bamboo fibers I think) that insulates any heat that might build up. I am a very HOT SLEEPER, and was on "high alert" for any increase in warmth caused by this pad, and have not noticed any uncomfortable increase in heat since I put the pad on my bed.

I haven't experienced any discomfort from it heating up and it has not caused me to sweat. It is overall a pretty good Mattress pad. I supplemented it with an 1 1/2 inch thick, 5 zone gel foam pad.

Our mattress pad seems to stay cool, it does not add heat like some mattresses add heat. Even my husband was impressed with the cooler temperature difference and he definitely doubted it would produce results for a better sleeping experience.

Yes, I do think you get warmer. I see they now have foam mattresses that have cool gel in then too. May be better for you.

I have not used my lectro heating pad and control for more than 2 hours; which I used to make sure it did heat up. I did not notice any difference in temp when I used the control on low or high. It did not seem to have any effect on the pad when I turned it on without the control. My litter did not materialize, so I have not used it for newborns as I had intended. My heating pad arrived in sad condition. The box was beat up and arrived 2 days after the control unit and extra cover for the heating pad. They should have arrived on the same day.

Not to warm in summer (AC is on) and do use heat pad in winter. Think some heat is absorbed by pad thickness though. Pad makes fitted sheets very tight, worse as they shrink. My pad has been on since I got it, use once a week. No issues with it, sheds a little when new.

My wife never has used this heating pad in a moist way. Sorry. Some heating pads have a foam pad you can wet and apply to the pad and it then provides moist heat. This pad does not have one of those pads, however. Best Regards, Rick

I love this mattress pad, but I purchased because my new gel memory foam mattress was hot. My husband doesn't seems to have an issue, I'm still warm!

No you do not feel the "moist". If it actually works is is very subtle. I have used other heating pads which make the same claim but they all act the same. Not much moisture gets into the pad from the atmosphere around you.

no you plug it in and the heating element in the pad warms up. I like it a lot and my old one lasted more than 20years

Ive had no problems with it being too warm but I sleep with my a/c set pretty low. I have in the past had mattress pads that I thought were hot, I havent noticed that with this one

Ours doesn't. Not at all. Our Sunbeam heating pads, however, had multiple power supply failures after a week or two. This Paraheat pad works well.BTW, you should avoid falling asleep on a heating pad that doesn't have an automatic off mode just to make sure you don't get scorched. Mark

As far as I know all heating pads tell you not to lie on them. I haven't let that stop me with any I have ever owned. Just pay attention to the heat setting and how long you lay on it. Also, if you have a medical condition where heat may cause problems, you want to be very careful.
