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.

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.

I use it at night on my bed and put it under a mattress pad. I still only use it on the 2 or 3 setting and can feel the heat. I will say that with the fleece on this pad, it is not necessary to put anything over the pad ... you can not feel the wires when you lay on the pad like you can with other pads.

Clients haven't reported feeling the wires. I use a massage pad over it that can be washed. It's used to help protect the warmer. You do not want to wash the warmer. Most washing machines would wreck it. You would have to spot wipe it by hand.

No its not electrical- you just lay on it. Its one solid piece. However, its not the most comfortable item in the world. It kinda hurts.

You can't feel any wires they are so small and the contr connection is very small and not even noticed at the head of the matress pad. Heat is from 0 - 14

I guess it depends on the 'depth' of your mattress as to where the connecter lays. I scoot my down as far as I can as to not feel it, I also am not as concerned w/ heat by my head/shoulders as I am my Feet! Good Luck.

It is not very thick, maybe 3/8". Enough for the wires to be encased in. I would not rely on this as a pillow top. We actually use it under our existing pillow top, over our sleep number mattress. We LOVE it but if you sleep on just that, you can feel the wires from time to time. Not bad but noticable here and there. We initially used an oversized fluffy comforter as a pillow top and it helped and was easier to wash. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else! We really do love it.

I would say no. I used these for my children's captains beds with a solid base. The mattress is much too thin and squishy for wire.

since the wires are equally spaced, you could put the connection at the head or foot, I actually prefer mine at the head (don't feel them through my pillow) rather than the foot.

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.

This goes on top, the mattress pad version is the one you sleep on top of. That being said I find it best to put this between the sheet and whatever blanket you're using. Trapping all the warm awesomeness in :-)

I felt very cold when I first started using the sheet but now use a heavy blanket on top of me & that takes care of it. I'm not sure it's the grounding sheet's problem though. A tester was also included in the package to test the sheet to make sure it is still grounded, so make sure your sheet is working correctly. The material feels like light cool cotton so I think that 'cool' is normal for breathable cotton.

You do not sleep on top of it. It goes between your top sheet and comforter/bedspread, ie mattress and sheet, your body, top sheet, this blanket, bedspread.

it does NOT itch to my wife or i. the bottom of the blanket feels like micro-fiber (very soft). the top is more like a combination micro fiber "silky" look and feel. the colors are very deep and rich and the set is very comfy. we have been very happy with it, hope that helps.

No. Although not as quiet as a fleece blanket it doesn't make near the noise of the Mylar blanket. (Much warmer also)

We have a comforter on top of the blanket, and it works fine. If you put a top sheet underneath a normal blanket, you should do the same with this blanket. No need for anything between the comforter and the blanket unless the comforter is made of some exotic material that doesn't like heat.
