I had the same prob. The manufacturer suggested an extra mattress pad on top. I put two and it worked like a charm!

Call the manufacturer, see if there is any form of a partial trade in for something else?

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...

I have purchased two Table Warmers from massage supplier and they both died after about One year of regular use. I have used a heated mattress pad for a twin size bed for about 4-5 years now with no problems.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

I have a level 6 and was worried it would be too soft, but I have a thick mattress pad on it and it still is not too soft...I might even put a 1 inch memory foam topper on it just because I am used to a bit of that 'cradle' effect, but I don' like the heat of the thick memory foam at all.

I put a regular mattress pad over the cloud foam mattress topper. Then my normal sheets. The pad and sheets don't affect the comfort in a negative way. Adds more cushion I suppose.

Absolutely fabulously. The key is that Sure Fit calls it as a WARMING pad. It will not ever get hot enough to melt the foam. I actually put it over my Sleep# mattress and then put on the sheets, turned the warming pad to High and came back in about an hour and felt under the two pads and it was warm, like medium hot water, and I kept my hand there for about 5 mins. It is great for foam mattresses

We put a fitted sheet over the heated mattress pad always. If you didn't do that you would have to wash the heated mattress pad more often and that would be hard on it.

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.

A straight memory foam mattress would still probably have this issue. This particular mattress does have a pillow top, so that helps somewhat, but I do still get pretty warm on it.

I too have a memory foam mattress. It's very lightweight and so far I haven't had difficulties with it making the bed too hot.

I have a mattress pad covering the foam so I do not have issues with it getting too warm. As for the comfort, I had knee problems and would have pain sleeping on the standard mattress. Now I have no more pain. The pad is beyond comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone suffering body pains.

I really didn't notice a 'warming' sensation.,..but I did notice the thickness gave some cushioning on the bed, which was what I was looking for. I think it would be safe to say, it doesn't really keep you warm, more or less just comfortable

Michele - i live in Honolulu - 80 degrees F most days. at night, goes down to '70'sF. it's fairly warm.i use the foam pad under my mattress pad and sheet - it is comfortable, doesn't make me feel hot. i got it because i'd broken my shoulder and was in severe pain for months - the pad, plus a "body pillow" helped a lot. it seesm like good "memory foam - hasn't flattened out at all. i hope this is helpful to you. i have it on a "queen-size" bed (actually a futon mattress on a box spring). aloha from honolulu!! - john

We thought the same thing. I could not possibly sleep on it! This foam is so very, very hard. I advise against it for a bed.

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.

We bought one of these for our camper. We put a regular mattress pad and sheets on it. It is not hot.
