where does it plug into the pad? Can it be felt by sleeper?

It plugs in at the bottom of the pad. The coils can be felt; I suppose the plug can be felt if you looked for it.

Yes it is weighted or heavier than the cheap store bought heating pads (which are NOT anything like this moist head pad). Two totally different kinds of pads here. This is for deep, penetrating muscle heat on a physical therapy level not just for an ache or pain. The comment about holding onto the switch, that is for your safety because you hold onto the activate switch until you cannot stand it any hotter. You never want to fall asleep with a heat pad that is on. And the other comment about the bag with beads that heats up in the microwave, that is for an ache or pain once in awhile. Not real deep-seeded, disabling pain... Yes it is weighted or heavier than the cheap store bought heating pads (which are NOT anything like this moist head pad).

I actually do not know the answer to this, but I tend to doubt it. I use mine on a sofa sleeper that has a very firm mattress, and it softens it up beautifully. I can only imagine the pad would sag into the existing mattress.

No. It has to be plugged in for use. It is very comfortable and works really good though. You can wrap it around you unlike a traditional heating pad.

It doesn't make much noise when baby moves. I have an organic cotton mattress pad, not sure of the brand but it is a safe one and it is quiet as well. It may be the naturepedic.

It doesnt. Its a pad the person lays on. I liked it because it was easily mobile.

I placed it under the mattress pad. Doesn't seem to compress the foam pad too much

Yes, in fact I found that pad to be rather uncomfortable to lie on, would probably put a heavier covering than just a sheet.Some patients, and I, too, complained about the feeling of the little round buttons.

The mattress pad is evenly heated. You can feel the wires if you try. They are not noticeable when laying on the pad.

I haven't noticed any objectionable odor and I commonly sleep with my head on the pad. I measured the cord at 9 feet from pad to plug.

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 plugs into the pad at the top on both sides. Each side is independently heated. This is a great pad. I have another pad on top of mine because I don't like feeling the heating ribs. It works just fine either way. Hope you enjoy yours as we have enjoyed ours.

You cannot feel anything but the middle separation bar. I used a 1/2" sleeping pad to add a little comfort, and it was great.

We bought the mattress pad for our guest futon which was only in use over Xmas. As I recall the connector was near the top edge of the mattress but not intruding on the top surface. Hope this is of use. P.S. the guests didn't complain!

This pad will do what you want. As long as it is plugged in it stays on. Only uses 6 watts. It doesn't feel warm when you feel it but when the pet lays on it the heat comes from the weight of the pet laying on it. My cat only weighs 3.5 lbs and when she gets up I can feel the warmth from where she was laying...she loves it!

Hi. Okay, I tested the mattress. I put a glass of water on one corner and pretended to sleep by moving around. The cup stayed in the same position. So, to answer your question, no I don't think you will feel movement.

You do not feel them thru the sheet. It feels just like a regular mattress pad.
