Can I use this topper with a heated mattress pad or will it melt?

We recommend you do not use either electric blankets or heating pads with our memory foam toppers. The memory foam material responds to your body temperature, and the additional heat from electric blankets or heating pads causes the mattress to respond to that heat instead of conforming to your body. Longer periods of exposure to the heat from electric blankets or heating pads may damage the memory foam material.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

Don't know. I use mine on top of a memory foam topper. Wish I could be more help. But have to say, we are having terribly cold weather for FL and I am loving this heated mattress pad!

No, it won't melt. Basically it a giant roll of clinging plastic wrap. A larger version of the stuff one uses in the kitchen. So it has to be above the water boiling point temperature to melt.

I don't really know but it seems it might get to warm for a plastic mattress full of air. The heating pad is great for your mattress at home.

I'm no expert, but I think it would melt if it were close to the heat source, such as on a wall heater. It is made of very thin plastic. I wouldn't risk it.

I agree with Susan Messer. It can be either depending upon the temperature. It will melt at body temperature.

No. The material is not safe to have heat too close to it. It would melt and or catch fire. The teepee tent is otherwise awesome. Easy set-up and roomy inside. We had 5 kids in sleeping bags on the floor and the adults in a single air mattress as well as a double air mattress and we had room for more.

I wouldn't. The heat is localized and unless you have a reostat, you cannot control the temperature, which could lead to melting.

I have not had a problem with any of the 4 heated mattress pads I bought. I've washed them each several times & left mine on my bed even all summer. Send it back. You'll love it when u get one that works

We have a 4 inch gel memory foam topper on our bed with the protector and it is fine. Do not notice any heat issues at all.

I don't know; I had no trouble with my bed being too hot (it is not a foam), and I did not notice any temperature change with the mattress topper.

It will melt if it gets warm. I put mine in the refrigerator when that happens. Otherwise no.

I think this depends on your mattress. I have a pillow top that is designed to dissipate heat. The fabric used in the top does not retain heat, and there are air holes through out the pillow top. Therefore, this mattress cover made my bed very warm because it blocked all of the air holes and covered the fibers in the mattress that allowed heat to dissipate. I was too warm with it and returned it.

You can any heat to melt plastics...that said be aware that you are causing toxic fumes to be emitted when you do it. If the sheeting is to thin it will likely wither away when heated up, but if thicker, yu could fuse it. Do it outside and consider a mask t protect from vapors.

I'm not completely sure, as I've always used a pad on top of my 4 inch foam topper, but I would think it would. The quilted pad adds a buffer between you and the foam to help disperse heat. At least from my experience.

The Tempur-Pedic Mattress Protector does not indicate that an electric heating pad couldn't be used in conjunction. Therefore, I think it is safe if you wanted to use an electric blanket w/ it.
