thanks for the tip. I ordered it and will put in a review if it works well on a memory foam topper.

NO! This foot warmer causes the foam in your bed to break down much faster then normal and that is thru the mattress tops other material. I had a mattress that had a problem in the exact area the foot warmer was used and so I put in a claim on a 1 year old mattress which was denied when they found out I had used one these warmers. $2,300 mattress ruined. It did state a warning in the mattress information that I found out when I went to by another bed.

They do not recommend trying to place the heater in a full mattress. I think it could e do it would be pretty risky and hard to do. I supposed if you were very careful and had help it could be done.

This can be used on any size mattress, though you would need to order a larger size if you want to cover something larger than a twin bed. I used the twin size one on my mother's hospital bed for about 3 years. I found it worked best to put it on top of the mattress and then cover it with the fitted sheet. I also used a thin sheet of memory foam between it and the mattress, and that helped a great deal to keep it from sliding around. Whatever you do, be sure to cover this pad so that the person using it is not laying directly on the plastic, because that would not only be uncomfortable but could cause unnecessary friction on their skin, making bed sores more likely.

Yes you can. Once you transition the futon into a bed position the Memory Foam Mattress works very well on a futon. I had the same problem with my futon (metal frame) in which the metal bars where pushing up into my back. While I did not use the Memory Foam Mattress on my futon (returned the futon), I did utilize it on a military metal bunk in Afghanistan. When I left there I donated the mattress to a co-worker.

We have a thick memory foam topper and I do not notice it being hot with this mattress topper on it. It should help with your problem...if not you can return it. Worth trying it out.We do love this topper.

I don't think so. From the mattress professionals we've talked with a memory foam mattress should not be used more than seven or eight years. I had mine for 12 or 13 years before switching to an innerspring mattress with this topper. I had the Tempur-pedic, and this combo of innerspring and foam topper is even more comfortable. Best sleep I've had

Unless you put a sheet of plywood over it I wouldn't use it for a memory foam mattress. I haven't used it with one, but I have a feeling that the struts across the top would either puncture or sink into the memory foam. What you see is actually a cover that just goes over the frame itself. It's just cloth.

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.

Hello, I have to be honest and say I am not sure the mattress topper will cool down a memory foam mattress but I can tell you that the mattress topper is very thick and perhaps in conjunction with a mattress pad, it may be suitable for your needs. A bamboo mattress pad or the bamboo version of the mattress topper may work for you as I understand them to be cooler than other fabrics. I have three layers over mine - an thick Egyptian cotton mattress pad, a bamboo mattress pad, and then the mattress topper. I hope this was helpful and I hope you find the right solution for your situation. :)

I use a heated blanket and have had no issues. Can't comment on a heated mattress pad, though.

I have not, but I wouldn't suggest to use it directly on the mattress topper as it may melt, depending on the temperature of the heating pad. It's like a foam type material and I think it may melt a little. Again, I am not completely sure as I don't have a heated mattress cover, my mattress cover is just waterproof. But good luck. I suggest you try to find out if the material is flammable.

For this question, I would consult with the manufacturer. I can say that the cuddler doesn't get really, really hot, but I just don't know much about air mattresses and how they might be affected.

From my experience the metal frame for this mattress must sit on the ground. If the bed frame you bought from Rooms to Go has a good amount of support beams you may just be able to put the memory foam mattress on top. Or if you have good general box spring you might be able to put it on that in your bed frame. In general though, this mattress set is made to attach a head board and foot board to the metal frame.

I have purchased two Table Warmers from massage supplier and they both died after about One year of regular use. I have used a heated mattress pad for a twin size bed for about 4-5 years now with no problems.

We put it over our mattress pad - I am not sure what a mattress topper is. The Heated pad is very large - we have a new bed and had no problem.

I have a twin XL with a single control, much different from this one which is meant for a bed for two.Why not call Sunbeam or check for "Sunbeam heated matress pad instructions" online. Sorry that I could not help more.I love this matress pad. It is so nice to slip into a warm bed on cold winter nights.

Hi, Claudia here. We have used a memory foam for 25 years and love it! There is a secret to keeping it in place. We always buy a quality mattress cover (WITH DEEP SIDES) and put it tightly on top of the memory foam,tucking it securely under the TWO bottom layers to keep it from sliding. We have a water bed that is slippery and it is also crucial to make sure the foam topper is completely squared with the bed and the mattress cover is TIGHTLY pulled OVER the topper,then pull as tight as you can, tucking all layers (UNDER) the corner of the bed, These things done, you can put your sheets ect. on the bed. It is not an easy chore, but worth it if done right. Hope this helps.......CB Hi, Claudia here. We have used a memory foam for 25 years and love it! There is a secret to keeping it in place.
