Can you sleep directly on top of the pad or put a sheet on top?

Hi Michele - For best comfort you'll want a sheet on top. We never notice the pad while sleeping. It's working great.

yes, i only have a fitted sheet on top of the protector. Its barely noticeable

I think can sleep directly on it, it has a cloth covering. I put a sheet over it since I use it for my dog.

It is designed to protect your mattress from wetness so my suggestion would be to not use it to sleep on but put a sheet on top as you normally would.

If you mean is it 'lofted' to give you a comfortable sleep, then I would have to answer no. We tried fitting the heated mattress pad on our beds directly underneath the fitted bottom sheet. My husband slept well this way, but I have a thin build and could feel the wires beneath me all night and was restless. I then tried putting a fitted lofted mattress pad between the heated mattress pad and the bottom sheet and now it sleeps wonderful. Even my husband said it was more comfortable this way. I was concerned about not being able to feel the heat, but it is great. When it is cold enough to turn on the heated pads, I usually keep my twin heated pad set on 2 or 3 and my husband prefers his heated pad to be set at 6.

Joy, we don't use a sheet. The pad is on the outside/underneath, so there is no place to put a sheet. We gave our son a blanket (but it gets a lot warmer in the pea pod than in the room) that he can use if he wants.

No, but I place it directly on top of the mattress and under the mattress pad. Love it!

Just lay it on top of your regular mattress and put you fitted sheet over both.

It is a mattress pad - it covers the mattress itself. Yes, of course, you need to put sheets on top of the mattress pad.

We did the same thing but did not use a sheet. The pad has a cover that is washable.

Putting a futon cover on top of either, I believe would be a challenge. However, I would choose the water-proof one over just a regular fitted sheet.

You can't use a sheet bc there is nothing to attach a sheet to. I don't think a sheet is necessary anyway. The floor of the pod is silky and soft feeling. It's also very easy to wipe clean. Sometimes I'll put a light blanket in there for my daughter to snuggle up with, but that's it. Although when she was under a year old I didn't put any blankets in there to reduce the risk of SIDS.

Yes. I don't recommend sleeping directly on top of it - although I suppose you could. It has, what looks like, square "chambers" all over. A top sheet helps smooth the entire surface.

You use a fitted sheet on top of it. I hear rustling every now and then, but the mattress pad doesn't make you sweat. It's a great product if you have a toddler who on occasion has an accident at night. The mattress cover will save your mattress.

Like others have stated, it lays on top. Much thicker than a mattress pad. We use over-sized sheets and it covers the pad and mattress just fine. The topper is very plush and soft so if you prefer a firm bed, it may not be for you. But if you like a fluffy bed, it works great.

If your sheet barely fits now and you want one sheet to cover both the topper AND your current mattress, I would suggest using a flat sheet and tucking it in around the entire mattress or get a set of deep pocket sheets. Another alternative is to just put your fitted sheet on the topper and tuck in the rest as you will be sleeping on that and not the regular mattress. Best wishes.

I did use a regular sheet over the pad that came with it. The sheet was a little big, but tucked in nicely underneath the pad so it didn't seem loose and didn't bunch up.

No you cant! Plus its very thin, and not well padded!You will need a mattress pad for underneath!

it is used on top of the mattress. that is why it is called a mattress pad.
