Can a heavy bedspread be safely placed over this warming blanket?

I believe you can.I have several covers over it.I love this product.It works.

I use a comforter over mine, but I sometimes find it increases the heat too much. Not a problem, just an observation.

Well of course heavy is a relative term, but I routinely place a heavy comforter and a thermal blanket over the top of this item with no problems. In fact, you need to place at least one blanket over the top in order for the heat generated by this blanket to be most effective. Also it is very important to look for the label sewn onto the blanket which instructs you which side of the electric blanket needs to face up on the bed. Placing the blanket on the bed in any other orientation substantially reduces the amount of useful heat produced.

Yes I would believe so. I never did that but I see no reason why you couldn't .

I would recommend giving it a try. Try it on a small area in the corner at first and set it to the highest setting. I cannot guarantee it won't damage your blanket, but if you're careful, I would think not.

Sure you could...either hem with needle and thread or use duct tape. Will look like crapbut it could work if you don't care what it looks like. BTW...this is not a very large blanketso if cut in half will be very small / short. Would not recommend doing this unless you have a very compelling reason to alter the blanket.

Yes. It doesn't get warm enough to cause a problem. Mine is suspended on a panel over my feet, so the weight isn't on my feet, and it's just warm enough to be comforting. Hope this helps.

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.

Its definetely heavy enough, however to prevent slipping I would get a non slip backing for placing in on the floor, this blanket would be beautiful as a rug no doubt, but the edges do stick up about an inch all the way around the border, so the main issue would be tripping, but however you decided to use this it was well worth the purchase, I dont make reviews on a whole lot of things but this blanket has weight to it, gorgeous, sooo warm, I absolutely love, love, love it! :-) (hope this answers a few questions)

I used it for an air mattress for several months. No problem. I might have put a blanket or bedspread under the mattress to be safer, but I don't think that was necessary.

There is casing around the bottom of the fan. Still, I would have some concern that bedding might push up through into contact with the fan.

It could hinder it some. Mine still works with the winter setup of sheet, two blankets, and comforter, though my comforter isn't heavy. If you have a footboard, you could drape the comforter over that when you use the fan...

Seeing as how the skirt part has no heating elements in it, it's safe to discard that part and use only the heated area. I'd hem up the edges to prevent fraying. Otherwise, you have a good idea going there! I've enjoyed my heated pad very much and look forward to once again putting it on our bed for the cooler months!

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be safe. Surely it doesn't get that hot! We have our bridge under a 2" memory foam topper and the bridge is similar material. We use an electric blanket some and have had no issues.

I sewed my blanket into box-type covers. It is much heavier material than previously purchased frost covers.

I bought this 2 years ago and found it to be well constructed and attractive, though I always kept is in a duvet cover. The corners have the strap for ties, which I also love to help keep the cover in place. Alas, it is just too warm for us. We live in Maryland and keep our furnace at 66 degrees at night, but would still wake up too warm so I gave it to a friend. But the weight is fabulous- light weight, warm, well made. I would love to find another just like it that is not quite as warm. I started a few years ago with down- too warm- hoped this light weight alternative would work, but did not.

We put a fitted sheet over the heated mattress pad always. If you didn't do that you would have to wash the heated mattress pad more often and that would be hard on it.

I put it between the top sheet and my extra blanket. I have my bedspread over everything. I usually turn the electric blanket on half an hour before going to bed and shut it off when I get in. On the sub-zero nights, I just turn it down. This blanket works great.

I must agree with Jade, in thinking it's too lightweight to be used at a blanket. Maybe two stacked would work but...

i have a Murfy bed and the comforter gets enclosed in the bed in the morning. I would not be the right person to answer this question. I do fluff it when i open the bed, and it seems good enough for me.
