Can this heating pad be used under an orthopedic bed that has a gel center?

Instructions provided by K&H; Manufacturing with the Lectro-Soft Heated Pet Bed state, "DO NOT cover your Lectro-Soft with blankets or materials other than a fleece K&H; Lectro-Soft cover. Other coverings may not allow heat to radiate properly and could cause pad failure."

I don't think it would do any good under a bed. It doesn't get super warm, but warm enough to keep an animal cozy if they are in direct contact with it. So putting it under the gel bed, in my opinion, I don't think would be a noticeable difference unfortunately.

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.

Gel foam is more firm (less sinky) and supposedly cooler sleeping. I dont think you want this mattress less sinky, because it already does not sink link a tempurpedic. I never noticed any heat build up in the foam, but i have a mattress pad on it. So that is about it, except the obvious answer, which is....$100.00

Sorry Rick I don't know. What does a heating pad do to a memory foam pillow?

We have ours under the fitted sheet. It has helped some with comfort and temperature regulation for both of us. Enough that we kept it!

I have no idea if you can or not, but this mattress pad is Awesome. Love it and would buy again. It's great that you can set your own side to the temp you want and your partner can do the same

Yes..I first put a mattress pad over the mattress before I put the gel foam on and then put a fitted flannel sheet on top. My 90 year old mom loves it :)

I have the same pad and have used it for 6 months. I have used it both laying on the bed with the pad under my shoulder, and while sitting on a chair. I place the pad over my shoulder, and using an elastic, I wrap the elastic around the pad with no problems.

Yes you can. It is the nicest heating pad because you can adjust the temperature in degrees instead of Hi, Med, and Lo. I use it everyday for my back and neck. It is a really nice size pad.

I can't but I also bought a regular cheap pad to lay over the top plus my fitted sheet. I don't even know its there. Plenty warm. Sometimes number 2 setting gets to warm for me. I really doubt you'll be disappointed.

The key word is "help". Yes, it helps, but only with frequent repositioning of the bed's occupant. My mother, who has back problems and fragile skin, finds it very comfortable. I, however, see a deep sag in the gel foam topper even when the bed goes unoccupied for several hours at a stretch. I have turned the pad over, and end for end, but the sag remains. Still, my mother enjoys it greatly and we have seen no bed sores.

The heating pad is large but flexible and has a Velcro strap that could hold it around your knees while sitting. I use it for my back and have not tried it on knees but I think it would work. It has a really good heat and time control. My older ones only had an off/on switch. I use mine every day and am very happy with it.

I don't know, but I don't think so. This is something I would contact the company about. I seem to recall reading something on their website about someone wondering if they could use a Heat Trak mat indoors and this was something the company discouraged. While your question is not the same thing, you would be using the mat for an unintended purpose, which could void warranties, etc. However, your best bet would be to contact the company and ask their opinion.

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.

Do not see why not. I have to stay in bed most of the time and lay on the heating pad all the time. Never had a problem with overheating. Just be careful not to get burned. I keep the pad on low and make sure there is an article of clothing between me and the heating pad. Hope that helps.

Certainly - you want your fitted sheet to go over the mattress pad. Just be certain that the electrical connections at the head of the bed are secure. We LOVE our heated mattress pad - still using it!!

Yes, I do think you get warmer. I see they now have foam mattresses that have cool gel in then too. May be better for you.
