"Can you lie on this heating pad?
585775
It says on the tag you are not supposed to but I have and so have my cats with no ill effect. But it's not especially comfortable.
585776
Yes. It is wide enough. You can set it flat and lie down on it. It is pretty comfortable. My wife uses it everyday.

Be extremely careful. I ended up with second-largest burns on the back of both thighs...the most painful thing I ever experienced. Took weeks to heal.
585778
yes but only no more than 20 min, less than that if you put it on high, you could get burned. If I have to lie on it for a sore back I use only second level of heat and no more than 20 min. More than that and you could hurt yourself.

totally!!! we love this and lay on it all the time, the only thing is, you have to move it around every 10 minutes or so to feel the heat, it has a sensor that wont get any hotter

Yes, the padded cover over the top will allow you to position it under the bod comfortably. If you intend to lie on it more than 30 min. I would place a thin blanket between you and the heating pad. Remember, no auto shutoff so keep the setting low if you think you could fall asleep!

Manufacturer states you are not to sit or lay on it. But my doctor said it was fine for me to lay on it as long as I don't program temperature too high and DONT FALL ASLEEP. The pad needs to CONFORM to your body. I find laying on my foam mattress topper is perfect for my back. Manufacturer wants you to lay it on TOP of your body. My doctor told me they have to say that or people, if they fell asleep could get burned if the digital control malfunctioned for instance. I've been using this pad regularly and it produces very good moisture! I'm happy with this pad. I prefer the control to Thermophore. I own both. I prefer BodyMed controller.

No. The 'heating pad' is an additional item which you must purchase separately.

I would say no. The heat in it is wonderfully subtle. I suppose you could make it hot enough to act like a pad for back pain, but the entire pad, or your side of it anyway, would all be just as hot.

this is the best heating pad i used. it's is moist heating pad and with very pretty warm temperature (highest can be 167F, but you cvan ajust it lower). can be ajusted the time most to 60 mins and restart again for the next 60 mins. and the weight is just right on body,not too light to move away, not too heavy to press on you. is this enough for your question ?

Hi...you can but they are not as bad as when I slept ontop of my regular electric blanket and......the pad is AMAZINGLY warm. It is a great investment!

I would not - the vibration is too strong/noise-y and they do not recommend that you have the heat against you for a long time. Not to mention, it's like a cushion, so it would be like trying to sleep on a little square cushion that is too loud and hot.

I suppose you could. It may not be that comfortable, and it definitely won't stay hot, but it would probably be equivalent to sleeping with a towel on your head.

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.

If your bottom muscles are sore, I'm sure you could. I have a very bad back and my last heating pad died, so I bought this one and it's great! It even works for my neck area, although it's harder to use the massage because there are areas of the pad that stick out and it can get noisy like that. ;)

Yes, you can. My husband does. I cannot due to back issues. I put a towel over my head and around my neck (wear it like a kerchief) to trap the heat.

No you cant! Plus its very thin, and not well padded!You will need a mattress pad for underneath!

No. I would recommend purchasing a heat pad or heat lamp depending on what you are trying to keep warm!

Yes you can, just keep an eye on the temperature in the bowl, be it air or water. Bear in mind, you are asking about the cover of the heating pad, not the heating pad. I'm answering the question as if you were asking about the heating pad and not the cover.
975041
Yes. Turn the mattress pad on about 20 mins. to 30 mins. before you wish to settle in, you can adjust the heat as suits you - works like a charm!

No you can't lay on it. It is like a large shower head... It is rounded... Really...look elsewhere.. Not a good buy....

The underside is a thick vinyl or plastic but on top of it is a 2 inch thing removable cushion. So Im not sure a heating pad would do a ton through that. But I am hesitant with electric heating pads as is and it would be pretty confined in this. I personally would not use one in it. Maybe a hot water heating pat would be better.
