Does it matter that there is a 4" memory-foam mattress pad on the bed?

My memory 4" foam pad seems to keep the bed warmer and I use a lower setting on the heated pad.

I have a feather bed on top of the mattress pad and I still feel the heat. I do need to turn it a bit higher than if there was no FB.

It might depend on you. I have found the memory foam keeps me too warm at times, and I think I might have an issue having the heated pan on very long.. I also have been unable to control the heat so must leave it on the lowest setting, and it is almost too hot...

I don't know for sure, but my supposition is that most of the warmth and comfort would be absorbed by the memory foam . I think an electric blanket would be more suitable and will warm the bed nicely. I happen to have both, and use them both. Good luck...

The material does conform to your body. A mattress pad is helpful as cushion and insulation. A six inch thick pad may leave too little space between the bunks.

No, the pad is smaller and thinner than a regular mattress. I got a bunch of crib sheets for my baby shower so my mom used her mad grandma skills to modify them to fit.

Not as far as I know. My mattress is not memory foam either, and it works just fine.

This mattress pad is just a cover. It doesn't really add "extra" comfort or softness to the mattress. We just bought a new mattress from Amazon...It was delivered in a box. Medium firm 10' foam...and I bought the mattress pad to protect it. FINALLY we are getting restful sleep. If you can swing a new mattress...I would do that first. Sorry I am not much help.

There's a 2 inch Goose down alternative cover that goes around the 2 memory foam pad so a total of 4 inches. I think some of the reviewers were expecting 4 inches of memory foam or perhaps they didn't feel the goose down layer was thick enough, it's harder to measure thickness cause it more like a thick bead spread or comforter that insulates you from the memory foam to keep you cooler. I found it to be sufficient to do exactly that.

This mattress pad is about a 1/4 of an inch thick. I don't think that it will soften the effects of a firm bed, but the pad is very nice.

Your mattress is cut down to allow for the thickness of a mattress pad, which is good thing for this type of bed, where the mattress needs to fit inside the frame.

This mattress pad does not make any noise. And yes, you can put a regular mattress pad over it.

It does not matter if you have a magnetic mattress pad, using the two together would not hurt. Carolyn Alger

It's very much like a very "short" electric mattress pad, it lays under the sheets at the foot of the bed, we only use ours on low, but bedding shouldn't be an issue, foam or otherwise.

My son's mattress is fairly thin, but I put a memory foam topper on it--since he has it at school with him, I don't get to see it, but he hasn't complained about it. I believe it's staying on fine.

Do you mean, "Does it fit the mattress?" After a few hours the foam fully expanded to a thick 2 inches. My mattress pad fit the bed perfectly on the sides, maybe just a tad small, but the sheets hold it nicely.

In my view, the mattress topper provides a cooler layer of separation between your body and the memory foam. That's really the reason behind the topper. I would keep it simple, but not too cheap. I can't recall which one I bought because I had it for a few years before I came across this mattress. You want it to be of decent quality so that it fits securely over the mattress. The memory foam delivers the comfort, the mattress pad keeps you cooler.

Thread count is relatively unimportant when considering a mattress pad. Sheets, yes, of course.I can tell you that I have used this pad for 2 years now and it is of the best quality and workmanship.

We put a mattress pad on our Sleep Innovations 4 inch pad, so we don't anticipate having to clean it. We have discarded the information that came with the pad but I'm sure that if you Google Sleep Innovations you can get their web site info and ask them directly.

No. It's very comfortable, no different than a regular mattress pad. If anything, it adds some pillowing to the bed so it sleeps cozier!
