Can I use a heated mattress pad with this mattress? It gets cold here in the winter and we currently use one to heat up the bed before we get in.

I don't see why not, but that would make the mattress lose its firmness through the night even faster (as body heat activates the "contouring") - we got the 3.5 firmness and it's still like waking up in a hammock every morning.

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.

Nope- no heating pad. I don't think a heating pad is needed though because my dog is very warm in there with its linings plus his favorite blanket.

As far as I know all heating pads tell you not to lie on them. I haven't let that stop me with any I have ever owned. Just pay attention to the heat setting and how long you lay on it. Also, if you have a medical condition where heat may cause problems, you want to be very careful.

I have not had a problem with any of the 4 heated mattress pads I bought. I've washed them each several times & left mine on my bed even all summer. Send it back. You'll love it when u get one that works

If the heating pad does not have a built in thermostat (and I'm guessing it may not because I do not see any module protruding from it), the heating pad will continue to heat the battery. This would not be desired when it warms up. I would only use the heating pad when when the weather is very frigid. I would use the pad only when the outside temperature goes below 10 degrees F. Those are the days when you need it. Otherwise you might cook your battery.

It says you can use it for heat also but I haven't tried it. I dont want to risk it so I use a heating pad for heat.

serendipity: Well. We built a kind of cat house for the feral cats that came to us. It is insulated. We live in the mountains, so it snows here. There is a shelf inside the house where the heat pad sits. They seem to use this cat condo when it snows, mostly. Also, covered porch area with a love seat, with blankets and tarp, with heated lap blanket. Cats are creatures of comfort. It is likely the cat will use the heat pad when it gets cold. I know you are worried the cat will suffer the cold, but it seems to me you are doing the best you can to help a fellow creature.

Actually that is exactly how I use it. I have a mattress pad, the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, the electric blanket and another sheet over it because we have a dog who is 200 pounds who gets into our bed and I do not want him to sleep directly on the electric blanket. It has worked for both my husband, myself and the dog. You will find that a blanket on top of the electric blanket will make it retain heat better and you will not need to set the number so high for warmth.

I don't see why not. There were no warnings from the co. I would use my heated mattress pad with no reservations. Have a good day.

Our mattress pad seems to stay cool, it does not add heat like some mattresses add heat. Even my husband was impressed with the cooler temperature difference and he definitely doubted it would produce results for a better sleeping experience.

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

Yes. The way I use all mine is to wrap an indoor outdoor temp sensor right in there with the heat tape. Then spray that foam insulation all around the set up. The sensor tells you what the temp is & I was pleasantly surprized at how much heat these things put out when you insulate them. Well above freezing.

I think it depends on the mattress. If your mattress has a slick, shiny cover, putting baby on that with only a sheet (or a plastic sheet) between feels cold at first and may promote sweating if it doesn't provide enough air circulation. This pad is like a thick layer of dense felt, and - in my personal opinion - seems more comfy than going without it. It's not in any way cushy, though, if that's what you're looking for.

NO! not at all, that's one of the key characteristics I love about it. I've always had heat issues with mattress pads, foam, etc. I will definitely buy this again when my current one needs replacing.

yes you can put a mattress pad on it. Mine was a snug fit for a full bed. I find you get cold on all air mattresses, but a pad might help.

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.
