Can a heated mattress pad be used on this in the winter, or would the heat not be good for the memory foam. My husband loves his heat!

If you used a heated pad it would make the mattress really soft where it was heated and would not work so well for support. I do not know if it would damage it but it would be hesitant to try it.

I don't think you want that....... this mattress holds heat to me. I say try it for a few nights without.

Is the pillow cold? Was it sitting outside on your porch in the middle of winter? Memory foam is notorious for getting rock solid when exposed to cold temperatures. Wait for it to warm up and test again. It should be softer. If this is not the case, then you might have a faulty product.Thank you for taking the time to read my answer; I hope it was helpful to you!

I always used this mattress pad on our memory foam mattress. I haven't had a problem with sweating.

I love this mattress pad, but I purchased because my new gel memory foam mattress was hot. My husband doesn't seems to have an issue, I'm still warm!

We have used a Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pad over a 3" memory foam topper for almost 20 years. Not had a problem yet. The pad doesn't get hot enough to burn you, so it shouldn't get to hot for the topper. Our topper does have a 2" filled cover over it before the mattress pad.

Yes, this mattress does get hot. There are times when the topside of my body feels slightly too cold, while the bottom side in contact with the mattress is burning. We're in northern California, where it's not even that hot outside. Currently trying to figure out ways to cool down the sleep situation. We will probably try putting a quilt between the mattress and mattress pad so our skin is further away from the mattress. This somewhat defeats the purpose of a memory foam mattress though.

Hi Karolyn,The mattress pad is not thick at all. It's awesome for warmth, but it won't help for softness.

I have this pad. I recommend always following the usage directions because if anything goes wrong, you have not a leg to stand on with the company who gave you warning. You might try lying down to put the pad on your back and cover it with a blanket or something to hold in the heat. I use the pad to cover my cold feet. It can get quite hot to touch. I keep it at around 155 f. Higher and I have to fidget to keep it from being uncomfortable. Well, I hope this was helpful. Happy heating.

I use mine with an outdoor extension cord bought from Lowe's. I called K&H; & they said that's fine. I had no problems last winter--why would I? I think the heated pad only pulls about 20-25 watts? And the extension cord is rated for a weed-eater.

That's exactly how I use mine and it works fine. It's the best heating mattress pad I've ever had.

That is correct - this pad is not thermostatically controlled and, generally speaking, should not be used in above-freezing conditions. I solved that issue by adding a thermostat to the circuit. My pad now comes on and off around 25 degrees to keep my battery warm when it's cold but doesn't cook it when the weather is nice.

I don't know about the heated mattress pad, but I would think the heated blanket would be fine. I often sleep with heating pads and haven't had any issues. I haven't actually used a heated blanket though, so I'm not sure.

I don't see why not. There were no warnings from the co. I would use my heated mattress pad with no reservations. Have a good day.

According to the instructions, the pad can be used as a cold pack. However, I have only used it for heat.

Don't know. I use mine on top of a memory foam topper. Wish I could be more help. But have to say, we are having terribly cold weather for FL and I am loving this heated mattress pad!

Michele - i live in Honolulu - 80 degrees F most days. at night, goes down to '70'sF. it's fairly warm. i use the foam pad under my mattress pad and sheet - it is comfortable, doesn't make me feel hot. i got it because i'd broken my shoulder and was in severe pain for months - the pad, plus a "body pillow" helped a lot. it seesm like good "memory foam - hasn't flattened out at all. i hope this is helpful to you. i have it on a "queen-size" bed (actually a futon mattress on a box spring). aloha from honolulu!! - john

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).
