I live in Houston, so it gets very hot in the summer. Will this Full metal Tonneau Bed Cover burn me to the touch or does the polyester epoxy help?

I am usually in Phoenix. I have never been burned , but yes it can get very hot to the touch. A really nice cover though.

It gets fairly hot but I don't recall it burning me. However summer is not fully in swing for me to recheck

I believe the cover itself is made of aluminum; I have never seen the cover get hot enough that you could not lift it to fold it up

I have no clue.... my use of the product was limited to fabrics. My suggestion would be to contact a Fire Marshall in your area, or to do a small test yourself. A company that produces stage settings for theatrical productions might also be able to answer this. Good luck!

That has not been an issue so far, and we live in the really hot desert...I do have a zip on cover over mine, followed by an old fashioned mattress cover, then the sheet. That may have been adequate to prevent over heating.

My proofer never gets that hot. I do agree with others that your unit is defective. I have mine, (when in use) on a roll around "school" cart. No problems with over heating that kind of composite plastic. I also have used it on tile table top. Of course it would not hurt that at all.

The cover and sides gets very hot to the touch- However, to answer your question, there is negligible impact on the ambient temperature

I live in NC have a Cowmooflage and an Anna CS and My Daughter is fine. I use the A/C but have never noticed her being hot. But keep in mind under the fabric is foam and that foam will keep in some heat. I am not sure if there is a difference between the epp foam and Styrofoam in keeping in heat. I don't have tinted windows either.

Afraid I can be be of little help. I have mine covered and shielded from the sun. However, as the cover is black, I don't expect it would surive a summer in my nck of the wood if exposed to the eliments.

I'm sorry that I am just now seeing this. I personally have not slept on this, so I can't answer. I bought this for the futon, when we have overnighters staying. I haven't had any complaints that it makes you hot, though.

My seat proctector doesn't do that. I have non-leather, black/gray interior in my SUV. I live where the weather is warm to hot as well. I would recommend this product. Previously (about 10 years ago) I used a all rubber-type seat protector which worked well also. Hope that helps.

It does radiate a great deal of heat at a full burn. I would recommend using it unless you are not worried the heat deflection.

I am not exactly sure how this would hold up in the extreme heat. I used this on the floor board of my pickup truck, and when it's super hot in the summer months, it gets a little bit sticky feeling. This product is like rubber in a can. If you wouldn't put rubber near extreme heat, I wouldn't put this near it either.

We have never felt any heat built up. The cover is on a foam Serta icomfort mattress, and we, too, had the same concern. There is a texture to the material, but under the sheets, it isn't noticeable, and is probably beneficial. We are completely unaware of having a cover. Having used traditional mattresses (including pillow top style) and ultra thick plush covers, we have found our current bedding to be superior. Good luck if you select this item - it has been just fine for us.

The problem I see is that the heat necessary to melt the adhesive will burn the silk. It happened to me when I tried to use it on polyester. Cotton was just fine.

I did not have any heating issues at all with this cover, I am really pleased with it. But again, I am using a Mac BookAir and does not heat much at all with or without cover.

This thing is pure synthetic material I'm not sure I understand your question! it's all about chemicals here --- nothing about polyester is fire retardant ---- this is pure plastic at it's finest and yes I've checked it burns quite happily so (no fire retarding processes here)

In one word: No. It will coat anything nicely, but any Epoxy resin will yellow, crack and generally degrade when exposed to constant UV rays and weather. It will last a few years but be prepared to do the project again. If it's under a canopy then it will last longer, but overall these coatings are not meant to be used outdoors

We used ours for the first time last week. Although it isn't as good as the normal heavy duty cart cover it did keep the wind and rain off of us. I would really be worried about using a heater because this is flimsy material and it will fly around, could easily catch fire I would think.
