How comfortable would it be to sleep directly on the pad? I have a memory foam mattress so more layers over the foam, the less body heat gets thru.

We have it on a 13 inch memory foam mattress and it feels fine. It's not that thick so it's not noticeable.

The protector is not designed to be slept on so you would still need a sheet between you and the protector. The protector uses a breathable technology that works great with any type of mattress including memory foam. Hope this helps.

I have a topper on my bed also. I put the SafeRest on the top of that and then my sheet and I sleep just fine.

I didn't notice it being any warmer than our regular mattress. Since I am hot nearly 95% of the time anyway, I would have noticed it. :) It wasn't cool though. However it was supremely comfortable. I say was, because we got a new extra firm mattress and haven't put that back on yet.

It would be more comfortable than sleeping directly on the floor, obviously, but because it's so soft, you might end up compressing it and getting less benefit than, say, 4 inches of just memory foam.

I really don't know how to answer that. I still sleep with a down comforter over me, and I haven't really even thought about if the mattress pad is too warm. I can't stand to sleep on a waterproof mattress cover, I sweat terribly, that's why I intentionally bought one that is not water proof. Maybe that's what's happening to you.

Slightly. If the pad were a bit thicker it could be even better. It Definetly does not bake you and might provide a slight cooling effect. If you have a very firm mattress and want something to take away the ultra firmness. This isn't the pad for you.

In case anyone is still reading these answers, please be careful when lying on any heating pad. I have severe chronic back pain and slept on one for years. I had burns on my back that matched the wires in the pads. My skin actually turned dark and you could trace the wires from my back. I found out that I can sleep on one IF it is set at the lowest setting AND if it turns off automatically. Since I became more careful the dark marks have disappeared. All manufacturers caution against sleeping or even lying on top of a heating pad. But if you're careful you can do it. You can also try a heated mattress pad which does not get as hot as a heating pad but might work for you. It also obviously covers a much larger area. Please be careful.

Hi James, I do not think this would be advisable. The sliding and shifting of the pad would make sleeping very uncomfortable. You would be forever adjusting the mattress pad under your sheets. BL

This mattress pad is just a cover. It doesn't really add "extra" comfort or softness to the mattress. We just bought a new mattress from Amazon...It was delivered in a box. Medium firm 10' foam...and I bought the mattress pad to protect it. FINALLY we are getting restful sleep. If you can swing a new mattress...I would do that first. Sorry I am not much help.

Both my husband and I feel the pad is firm but very comfortable on the spine and muscles. We are experiencing much better and longer sleep. Hope that is helpful.

Myself, I froze on this sleeping Pad. I also bought an insulated one (around $166), but I still froze. I Returned Insulated one, because I still Froze with it. Now I just use a foam pad because with the air sleeping pads - I freeze (could be just me).

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

I get really hot when I sleep too and I sweat under this comfort but not as bad as I did when we had a heavier one. Hope this helps.

I do not have an issue with this item holding in heat. It is very comfortable to sleep on. This purchase will definitely not be a waste of money. You can read all the reviews but until you experience this mattress pad for yourself only then will you understand what the rave reviews are about.

It's a much different feel than memory foam. I have purchased two on Amazon, not from this particular vendor. Both of them came with covers. I absolutely love sleeping on it. Difficult to say whether the feel is softer or firmer than memory foam. Don't worry about it being too firm, not the case at all. We bought king size for our bed and it is heavy. Initially getting it unpackaged and set up is easier with two people. The second one we purchased was for my 80 year old mother, she says it feels like heaven.

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.

I never slept directly skin on pad. I always covered it with a sheet. I am very heat sensitive (hate it) and never had a problem. When camping, I know you can't be carrying around a sheet with you, but I would assume that if you are wearing lightweight clothing when sleeping that there would be no problem. I cannot say enough good about this product. It got me through nine years of sleeping on the floor while I was caring for my mom and is as new now as it was when I first started using it.

The company is unlikely to say you can lay on the pad, as there are all those warnings about people who are not sensitive to heat, and people who may lay a small baby on it. I would use my own judgement, and carefully monitor the heat, but enjoy the benefit of laying on it.
