can this be used exclusively as a sleeping pad?

Yes it can. However I would not use it on the bare ground with out a barrier as the cover is not water proof.

I suppose you could. It may not be that comfortable, and it definitely won't stay hot, but it would probably be equivalent to sleeping with a towel on your head.

This is stiffer like a lap pad, but I cut it up to use as a waterproof changing pad cover. If you used it for sleeping, I think it would need to have a fitted sheet put over it, so it didn't move around, as it doesn't have any elastic to keep it in place.

I wouldn't hesitate to sleep on it. However I would first do my best to make sure there is nothing under it sharp enough to penetrate thru the tarp, just as you would a tent. But in all honesty I believe it wasn't designed to be slept on, but to be slept under.

Yes, but the existing foam pad is a bit hard so it's a little uncomfortable. I added an extra piece of foam and it's now fine to wear alone.

I never slept directly skin on pad. I always covered it with a sheet. I am very heat sensitive (hate it) and never had a problem. When camping, I know you can't be carrying around a sheet with you, but I would assume that if you are wearing lightweight clothing when sleeping that there would be no problem. I cannot say enough good about this product. It got me through nine years of sleeping on the floor while I was caring for my mom and is as new now as it was when I first started using it.

no. This is pretty heavy duty. I get a large sleeping bag and a small pad in it, and it is durable. I've been very happy with it.

I regret that we do not offer anything like this designed specifically for a bed. This is not really designed to be used for sleeping on a continuous basis.

I don't see why not. However, it might develop soft spots rather quickly. I have had one for about a year and it is noticeably softer where I sleep compared to the middle.

This heating pad is fairly heavy, so it might not "loosely" wrap around. I actually sleep on mine, because you can adjust the temperatures to the exact temperature that you prefer. Another "plus" is that it is longer than most heating pads.

Yes, you can use a heated mattress pad with this mattress. Please use the normal safety precautions stated on your mattress pad.

If you used a heated pad it would make the mattress really soft where it was heated and would not work so well for support. I do not know if it would damage it but it would be hesitant to try it.

Sure! It's not as flexible as a heating pad with no massage,but it's very comfortable. It also has an automatic shut off after,I believe, 30 minutes. However,I wouldn't suggest sleeping with the massage. I usually use it in the recliner and it's perfect.

Not at all! It is very quiet. I would reccomend to all who need a high quality sleeping pad--although it doesn't compress to very small...

I use it exclusively my bed; though mine is not a memory foam, it's a sleep number bed.

We have used it for naps, but not long periods of time. The pad is not anything like a mattress. I don't think it's meant to be a bed.

This is definitely not meant to be a mattress pad. For my purposes, it's just a thin layer to keep dust a and mites out of the mattress.
