Can you feel the wires if you lay on top of the blanket?

You are not supposed to lay on top of an electric blanket, and no I've never done it, I would think you would feel them though.

My 76 year old Mom is the user of this product. She is very sensitive and does not lay on it but uses it as a cover only. I did ask her if she thought she would feel them if she was to lay on it and she thinks she would.

My Mom uses this item, she is 76 and has very sensitive skin. She says if she were to lay on she does think she would feel them.

Of course you would feel the wires if you lay on top of the blanket. However if you lay beneath it and use the product as intended you cannot. This is a product is a Blanket and as such is meant to be used as a covering. It is not a mattress warming pad.

No not at all. It's actually really comfortable. The wires are pretty thin.

Yes you can, especially the connector at the foot of the bed. We have a sleep number split king which I love but these heated pads are thin so you feel the wires and connector. Also the thin nylon mesh type material used to make the sides will tear easily. The elastic is too stretchy so not a snug fit. I recommend Beautyrest brand as that was my last king which is 10 years old and is still in use plus held up to washing each year after use.

No I can not. With it being kind of a quilted pattern, I do not feel them, and that's with running my hand directly across the top of it.

The directions state that it will NOT feel hot to the touch - it warms the bed and you have to get in the bed to appreciate the heat. I LOVE this blanket, as it does not overheat, I never become uncomfortably hot and the softness is lovely.

I put my 4" memory foam mattress on it and I could feel the wire base on my back. I taped some cardboard on the wire base and that helps a little bit but also get problems like sliding issue. Finally, I solved my problem by getting an extra firm foam topper and put it underneath my memory foam mattress. Hope my story helps.

Well, you can't feel the wires running through the pad, which is obviously good, but you can feel the power cord connection at the foot of the pad, it's relatively small, about 4"x4" and in the center so it's not a big deal, but every now and then our foot will brush over it, and it would be nice if that didn't happen. So it loses a couple points for that, but it works great and overall we're happy with it. Turn it on about an hour before bedtime, and you're in cozy central by the time you turn in.

It's normal to feel connector with your feet but you get accustomed to it after a bit. Due to a change in bed position, ours is at the top now. I never notice it there.

I really can't feel the wires at all. And, instead of hot vs cold zones, it's more like hot vs really hot zones, but that's usually if you have something like a pillow or folded blanket on top. I've had numerous heating pads like this, and this one is the best by far. I highly recommend it!!

Actually, we love our blankets but have found that we only use them to preheat the bed when the room is cold. They're toasty enough as-is, and have a very luxurious feel to them, too.

I doubt you'd feel it if you had shoes on. You would definitely feel it barefoot and probably through socks though.You may want to be a little careful with the shoes though. The wires in this mat are *very* fine and shoes could probably break them or dislodge them from the mat surface.

Personally, I keep mine pinned under a thick blanket, the heat comes right through, the blanket cushions the wires and then sheets on top keeps it pretty clean.

Hello, my mother says she can feel the warming almost immediately at #1. She says #2 setting is very toasty. And she says the wiring is not noticeable at all, too.

Yes, you can feel the coils. We put a quilted mattress pad over it, at that point you can't feel them.

I don't know the weight of the fabric, but you can feel the wires between the two layers, if you use your hands. I don't feel them on my body while lying in bed.

I don't see why you couldn't just unplug the electrical part of the blanket and let it soak in the washing machine. However, I wouldn't let it agitate. Of course, you can spin it out! I also would drape it between two lines (if hung outside) or on a drying rack if dried inside. I wouldn't put any tension on the internal wires of the blanket.

Nope;coil wire is light guage enough where you don't feel any resistance at all;very comfortable.
