Can you feel the wires if you lay on top of the blanket?

You are not supposed to lay on top of an electric blanket, and no I've never done it, I would think you would feel them though.

My 76 year old Mom is the user of this product. She is very sensitive and does not lay on it but uses it as a cover only. I did ask her if she thought she would feel them if she was to lay on it and she thinks she would.

My Mom uses this item, she is 76 and has very sensitive skin. She says if she were to lay on she does think she would feel them.

Of course you would feel the wires if you lay on top of the blanket. However if you lay beneath it and use the product as intended you cannot. This is a product is a Blanket and as such is meant to be used as a covering. It is not a mattress warming pad.

On the highest setting it feels like you just got your sheets out of the dryer. Having a heavy blanket over the bed helps trap the heat.

No. This blanket is very thin. I would not buy it unless you plan to put another blanket in top of it. Not worth the money.

I really can't feel the wires at all. And, instead of hot vs cold zones, it's more like hot vs really hot zones, but that's usually if you have something like a pillow or folded blanket on top. I've had numerous heating pads like this, and this one is the best by far. I highly recommend it!!

Yeah I had the same problem. I had to scoot the couch closer to the wall and you really have to lay with your feet toward the end of the couch closer to the wall with the outlet. I'm not sure how other blankets work to know if this is a good design or not. I just assumed that to be electric you had to plug it in so you were stuck with the wires. Works good for me though, but it might be that I just don't know any better :).

No not at all. It's actually really comfortable. The wires are pretty thin.

I believe so, but mywife did not want to do it... I feel it with my feet if i look for it, but is not an issue. The issue is- that the heating area is only along the outside edges.

Hi,Instructions recommend that the blanket be placed with the bottom connector on top. For me however one of the controllers did not work at all so I returned the blanket. I cannot validate if it is ok to flip it over.

Yes, you can feel the coils. We put a quilted mattress pad over it, at that point you can't feel them.

I put my 4" memory foam mattress on it and I could feel the wire base on my back. I taped some cardboard on the wire base and that helps a little bit but also get problems like sliding issue. Finally, I solved my problem by getting an extra firm foam topper and put it underneath my memory foam mattress. Hope my story helps.

Nope;coil wire is light guage enough where you don't feel any resistance at all;very comfortable.

Yes you can, especially the connector at the foot of the bed. We have a sleep number split king which I love but these heated pads are thin so you feel the wires and connector. Also the thin nylon mesh type material used to make the sides will tear easily. The elastic is too stretchy so not a snug fit. I recommend Beautyrest brand as that was my last king which is 10 years old and is still in use plus held up to washing each year after use.

You can not feel the wires in the mattress pad. It is very easy to sleep on. It has variable temp settings but no variable timer. However I do not recommend this product since the connector from the control unit to the mattress pad has melted and failed twice for me. There are scortch marks on the mattress pad. I changed to a different brand after it melted the second time.

It doesn't ruin the firm feeling of a mattress. It has enough thickness to not feel the wires, though. One thing I recently noticed (not sure if it's a recent defect, but I think it is) is that it doesn't heat to the end (or top) of the mattress by about a foot on either end. Leaves my feet freezing cold!

We have a comforter on top of the blanket, and it works fine. If you put a top sheet underneath a normal blanket, you should do the same with this blanket. No need for anything between the comforter and the blanket unless the comforter is made of some exotic material that doesn't like heat.

No its not electrical- you just lay on it. Its one solid piece. However, its not the most comfortable item in the world. It kinda hurts.

We have a very deep pillow top king sized bed, and it is very roomy on our mattress. You don't feel the wires when sleeping on the mattress pad, and there is no need to put anything over the pad other than your sheet. It is a fantastic product, and we are thrilled with ours. I give it the highest rating, and would purchase again.
