What is the weight of the fill used in this heated mattress pad? I am comparing as I do not want to feel the wires.

I don't know the weight of the fabric, but you can feel the wires between the two layers, if you use your hands. I don't feel them on my body while lying in bed.

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.

Don't know how much fill, but we don't feel the heating elements in the mattress. When we make the bed the heated mattress pad is put on first, then a standard mattress pad and finally the fitted and top sheets. You don't even know there is something different about the bedding - except it keeps us warm on cold winter nights.

I put my 4" memory foam mattress on it and I could feel the wire base on my back. I taped some cardboard on the wire base and that helps a little bit but also get problems like sliding issue. Finally, I solved my problem by getting an extra firm foam topper and put it underneath my memory foam mattress. Hope my story helps.

This foam pad is at least 4 inches thick and firm enough to support 200 lbs without sinking in.However it is not hard feeling . I have fibro myalgia and it provides a very comfortable sleeping experience. Hope this helps.

I love the feel but I have it under my mattress pad and sheet. Does not feel hot. I am not using it because I have a child (so I can not say anything about being waterproof!), just using it because I wanted good protection for my new mattress.

This pad is made to help you sleep cooler, it is only 3/4 of a inch thick. We had it made thin on purpose so it doesn't take away the feel of memory foam or tempurpedic beds.

No, it doesn't make me feel hot (it's 100% cotton, with no synthetic fibers). I have a comfortable firm mattress, and I didn't want an overthick, fluffy pad on top of it, so I really like this pad. If I were trying to sleep on the equivalent of a board, maybe it wouldn't be enough.

Not sure on the weight. The mattress pad has a sheet on it but you would still want to cover it with something to protect it from getting dirty. I just use a regular bed sheet and tuck it under the mattress pad. Sorry I can't answer you on the weight.

If you used a heated pad it would make the mattress really soft where it was heated and would not work so well for support. I do not know if it would damage it but it would be hesitant to try it.

My guess is that it weighs 7 to 10 pounds, which, when spread over the area of the queen size bed, is very light on a per square foot basis. It does not press me into the bed, and most important to me, does not press too heavily on my feet. A nice thing about the silk filling is that the fibers reflect body heat, but still allow air circulation. I am comfortable with my silk duvet in all seasons, especially winter.

That's exactly how I use mine and it works fine. It's the best heating mattress pad I've ever had.

Good question and I would think the mattress maker would have that answer.I do not know. I use the heated mattress pad on a conventional inner spring mattress.

I called Sleep Experts 214-237-5294 was and told you can use the heated mattress pad to warm the bed up, but do not leave the heat on all night or you will compromise the gel.

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.

The mattress warmer was purchased for my elderly mother. The wires are not huge, plus there is a little padding covering the wires. I also put the mattress warmer under another mattress pad which also has flannel sheets covering that pad, so the wires do not interfere with my mothers comfort level. As for the hot and cold zones, with the above layering, the heat dispenses evenly, with more heat at the foot and less at the head as it should be. Easy to use. My mother and I have no complaints to date.

For a mattress pad, it's pretty thick and plush. Just from memory, I'd say somewhere around a 1/4 inch thick. We LOVE this mattress pad and bought a second one so we always have a back-up.

I use it at night on my bed and put it under a mattress pad. I still only use it on the 2 or 3 setting and can feel the heat. I will say that with the fleece on this pad, it is not necessary to put anything over the pad ... you can not feel the wires when you lay on the pad like you can with other pads.

Its very light, I don't think it even weights a pound. Breathability comes a much from the sheet and duvet cover; both of mine are 100% cotton.
