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.

Feeling the wires was a problem I had with my two previous pads but I've never felt the wires in this one. I'm very skinny and the least little bump annoys me and can sometimes even be painful. I don't have that problem with this pad.

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

Not yet. Good blanket, very pleased. Used with cover top so that wouldn't be a major issue for me anyway.

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.

I found that the mattress pads are very generous in size. If your mattress is not overly thick, it will probably fit, since these are sized to fit up to 18" mattresses. I use a 100% cotton quilted mattress pad over the top, so that I am not sleeping directly on the polyester pad. I do not feel the wires, but I can feel the connector at the bottom near the feet. I just put extra padding over that, and have no problems.

I do feel wires, but I don't find them uncomortable - my mattress pad sits on top of a feather bed which sits on top of a pillow-top matterss, so that could be why. The mattress pad isn't programmable - it will stay on for ten hours at whatever temperature you set it.

There are two white molex plugs at the bottom of the bed, one on each side of the (king-sized) blanket. The cords run underneath the bed and (for ours) plug in to the blanket at the foot of the bed about where the mattress meets the box spring (where the foot of the blanket hangs down). The foot-board of our bed hides the cords from view; otherwise I'm not sure how you would keep from seeing the cords. During the summer months, we just unplug the blanket from the bottom of the bed and remove it, but we leave the cords hidden under the bed so we can easily reattach the blanket anytime we need it.

I have on top of a foam topper. The foam was reflecting my body heat, after putting on the mattress pad I felt much better. Remember that the pad is wool covered by cotton sheeting.

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.

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.

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

Always put the electric blanket on top. We absolutely love ours. We used electric blankets a lot back in Indiana but had not used one in Texas until last year. It will keep you toasty and we love that ours has dual controls as my husband doesn't like as much heat as I do. We highly recommend this beautiful blanket. We just leave the electric cord between our mattress and box springs all year so it is easy to hook it back up again when we need it back on the bed.

Hey Bob! Not sure about the wires. The mattress cover was a gift. My daughter LOVES it!!!

I can't but I also bought a regular cheap pad to lay over the top plus my fitted sheet. I don't even know its there. Plenty warm. Sometimes number 2 setting gets to warm for me. I really doubt you'll be disappointed.

I put it between the top sheet and my extra blanket. I have my bedspread over everything. I usually turn the electric blanket on half an hour before going to bed and shut it off when I get in. On the sub-zero nights, I just turn it down. This blanket works great.

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!!
