is the double plush going to retain heat?

It was too hot for me. It's not noticeable when you first lay down, but by the morning I started waking up repeatedly from the warmth. I tried to move around but any spot I moved too got too warm after 10 mins.

It does retain heat a bit. Not terrible though if you use good cotton sheets. The comfort is worth it.

I haven't noticed any heat retention. I am warm-natured and sleep very comfortably.

If I set it up in the middle of my double bed, it cools the whole thing. If your bed is larger and you set it up more to one side or the other, it would probably only cool one side/person.

I have a down duvet cover, we stay warm. I would say no to the topper staying cool

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

I have not had any issues with overheating using this topper. I put a foam topper on my futon under the topper and that has worked out quite well.

It can go either way. The heating portion is sandwiched between thin layers of foam and it's warm on both sides when the cat is laying on it. The light side the plush side but the other side is warm too. The cats love it.

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.

Yes. I have another heating pad that does the same thing. I don't believe it is anything to worry about.

Nothing significant. When it comes to heat, there's nothing to worry about unless it is slowing down when it gets hot. There have been times where the laptop has felt slightly hot, but nothing slowed down and it wasn't uncomfortable, so I didn't worry about it. Cooling pads are cheap if you think it'll be an issue. This has been a great laptop for me though.

It seems to remain cool enough to the touch. You could elevate it or pot foemat under if you are concerned.

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.

Even though it states that it is double walled, it doesn't seem of offer any noticeable insulation. As a result, it is uncomfortably hot to touch, but won't cause an instant burn from a brief contact.However, given how hot it gets and therefor how poorly it is insulated, I wouldn't choose this unit for 24/7 use.

I use mine inside a mascot head where temps easily reach that. It won't work miracles, you will still feel the warmth, but it definately helps alot! It's one of the best I've found so far.

It does bunch up when I put it behind my back when sitting. I don't know about the dry heat. I haven't really noticed it being really moist. It does feel really good, but it keeps shutting off after ten minutes or so. I think you can reset that part, but I haven't figured out how to do it.

I have a 2 slice unit. It gets warm but certainly not hot. It appears not contain any insulation.

I want to know the same thing. It sounds like it will work just fine from the description, although the lack of padding may make it less comfy than some. That monstrous fan is really nice.

This has a very plush pad, but I cannot recommend it because it melted in the dryer the first time that we washed it. We were very careful and used the lowest heat setting, so unless you plan to air dry it, I would probably try the other choice.
