hi! does the fleece pad get too warm in summer months? do you use a warmer with it in winter?

Not to warm in summer (AC is on) and do use heat pad in winter. Think some heat is absorbed by pad thickness though. Pad makes fitted sheets very tight, worse as they shrink. My pad has been on since I got it, use once a week. No issues with it, sheds a little when new.

Barbara, I wonder if you already own the K&H outdoor extreme weather pad this fleece cover fits over? The plug belongs to the heating unit which may not be clear from the picture. We purchased the fleece cover to replace the pad which came with the unit. We are pleased with both. Jean

I would say yes, it's warmer than my plain mattress, but not excessively so. In comparison, I once had a down topper and found that it was far too hot, whereas I could use this topper year round with lighter blankets when needed. I have still found it extremely comfortable, but someone who is very warm-natured might feel differently.

sorry its taken so long to get back to you I don't use this e-mail often but the answer if you have the room I would recommend a ground pad, the bag is great it will keep you very warm even in sub zero temps. hope this helps

I have this pad. I recommend always following the usage directions because if anything goes wrong, you have not a leg to stand on with the company who gave you warning. You might try lying down to put the pad on your back and cover it with a blanket or something to hold in the heat. I use the pad to cover my cold feet. It can get quite hot to touch. I keep it at around 155 f. Higher and I have to fidget to keep it from being uncomfortable. Well, I hope this was helpful. Happy heating.

My first use of this bag was on a night that dipped to 40 degrees. If I completely covered myself (hood up and tight) I was actually a little too warm. My feet were chilly all night though regardless - wish I had worm wool socks that night.

We put a lightweight, folded fleecy throw on top our ours and that has worked fine in the past. I'm not sure a padded dog bed would allow the heat to come through and it might cause the warming pad to overheat. I just don't know.

Yes, I did and found it a marginal product, however, I live in south Texas and it gets SUPER hot here and I think I decided on a combination of some kind of regular frozen pad and a fan. Maybe the product would be ok where you live. It just did not feel cool enough to make a difference. Good luck.

We haven't noticed any temperature problem. Overall we have been very pleased with the pad.

Hi, It's been a while since I had to use this but I'm pretty sure this was the summer one. I would just have my little ones wear a onesie and this sleeper. I used the thicker fleece one in the fall and winter for both my kids and this lighter one in the spring and summer. I really loved these and used them from the smallest sizes all the way up to the largest size they offered. I always used these over blankets and never had a problem. They also have these at Babies R Us :) I hope this helped :)

Yes. You can use it in the summer !!! . I have and have had no heating problems whatsoever. Basically you feel its magic when its actually cold. So don't worry ! ;)

With a thick fleece cover under the sheet, we dont turn on the heater in the winter for fear of over heating the table under the thick fleece. In the summer, under only a sheet and towel the heater is a nice NON-essential luxury.

I use a heated blanket and have had no issues. Can't comment on a heated mattress pad, though.

I believe it really depends on the individual. I use mine year round and throw on a blanket in the winter. I think it breaths well and I sleep quite comfortably in the summer with AC on. Bottom line, in my opinion, it's in the middle. It's not made for cold and it's not light weight for hot nights. But for me, it's perfect.

I wish my memory was as good as yours. I felt for continuing use that the medium setting was fine. I thought the High setting was OK when you first put it on, but that it did get quite warm. Of course this is subjective, my hot might be your medium, but for the price I think it is an all around good pad.

It is comfortably thick enough for me. I bought it for the cooling and it does seem to help! The pad is not cold but the heat seems to go down and stay at a normal temp. Good luck. A,

It's very cozy now since the weather is quite chilly. I ordered it because it's supposed to be cooling and until the weather changes I won't be able to tell. However, manufacturer info included with the pad does not state it to be cooling.
