Can a heavy bedspread be safely placed over this warming blanket?

I believe you can.I have several covers over it.I love this product.It works.

I use a comforter over mine, but I sometimes find it increases the heat too much. Not a problem, just an observation.

Well of course heavy is a relative term, but I routinely place a heavy comforter and a thermal blanket over the top of this item with no problems. In fact, you need to place at least one blanket over the top in order for the heat generated by this blanket to be most effective. Also it is very important to look for the label sewn onto the blanket which instructs you which side of the electric blanket needs to face up on the bed. Placing the blanket on the bed in any other orientation substantially reduces the amount of useful heat produced.

Yes I would believe so. I never did that but I see no reason why you couldn't .

Sure you could...either hem with needle and thread or use duct tape. Will look like crap but it could work if you don't care what it looks like. BTW...this is not a very large blanket so if cut in half will be very small / short. Would not recommend doing this unless you have a very compelling reason to alter the blanket.

You probably could, but it's pretty lightweight, so you may still need to use a light blanket underneath.

I just used K&H; self warming pad, with old small blanket I had laying around. I also had it up on my deck & had it wind block with a tarp. I made sure I had it turned out of the wind & snow could not get in. Hope this will help you :)

It could hinder it some. Mine still works with the winter setup of sheet, two blankets, and comforter, though my comforter isn't heavy. If you have a footboard, you could drape the comforter over that when you use the fan...

I guess it depends how you define each. Its kind of a quilted bedspread! There is some padding, but not sufficient to keep one toasty warm like a real quilt. Hope that helps.

Hi Barb,I think this would slide around if it were not wrapped around the sides of the mattress as intended.

We just use a twin sheet, fold it under and then put a blanket on top of that. Works well.

Sleigh beds are difficult for any of the mattress warmers on the market. What I did was put a small cloth over the headboard to avoid scratches and hung the controls over the cloth. I always knew where to find the control.

I sewed my blanket into box-type covers. It is much heavier material than previously purchased frost covers.

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.

The company says that it should be on a hard surface with no padding/insulation on top or beneath as it can cause overheating and thus a fire hazard. It seems many people are successfully using the bed that way but just thought I would pass on the official answer to that question

I actually didn't put a duvet or anything inside of it. We're just using it as a bedspread, so I don't know that answer for sure. From the way it fits the bed, I would think a standard comforter would work just fine.

Yes, I have hung both blankets and bedspreads. It fastens to the other side with a suitcase like handle over a hook on the adjacent side. It is not as durable as I would have liked. The first one I ordered arrived smashed - returned it and the second was fine. Only problem is it will not retract as I wanted so I have just left the lines up permanently. For the money I would have liked for it to be more than hard plastic. I've had it about 18 months and use it in my sunroom with the windows open for that fresh air scent.

On the colder night I occassionally use another blanket. I would consider this fairly thin, probably closer to your summer quilt, not a heavy winter quilt

I have without a problem. It is very nice kind of quilted and great for late spring summer and early fall. I have put our heavy bedspread back on now.

You certainly can put it on a hide-a-bed. But please don't plan to hide it!
