Can I use it under the pillows instead that under the mattress? Thank You

I agree with Barbara that if you do try to use it under the pillows, you cover it with something first. My guess is it will still work better under the mattress, because it does tend to shift a bit over time, and that will be worse with less weight on it.We haven't had problems with leakage, though, and except for resetting its position from time to time, the genie has worked quite well for us.

i have it under my mattress. don't know why it wouldn't work under you pillow. i really like my genie.

First of all, you would have to have something in the back of the mattress genie - like a headboard - to keep it under the pillows. I think it would be very uncomfortable .. sort of like putting a pillow on a triangle inner tube ... and you lose the benefit of the comfort of the mattress. I wouldn't recommend it.

you could try, but each of the 3 sides is only about 15 - 18" high, not enough to elevate your whole upper body (can't measure, not at home). i don't put it under the mattress, I put a board over it since my husband doesn't need the elevation (king bed, twin Genie for me).

You can certainly position the Genie under the pillows if you wish but I do not think the support you get is as even and smooth as it is when it is under the mattress. Try it that way and see what works for you.

I don't know if this would work or not...sorry. We have only used it under the mattress. I would suggest if youdid want to use it on top of the mattress under the pillows that you cover it first with a blanket or comforter and then put the pillows on top. However, I am not sure that when the mattress genie is inflated and deflated if it would remain stationery without moving some. We have had no problems with leakage of air in the genie.

I dont think it would work wihout the mattress...i have had no problems with leakage....i would think the plastic would be uncomfortable to lay on without the mattress and probably squeak when you moved on it....i love it tho....

That's a good question - I suppose you could. It's worth a try:) Perhaps, without the weight of the mattress on it, it wouldn't leak so much.

Not really with the way it is designed. Also I had to send mine back after just over a week because it kept going flat.

technically you can, yes. remove the pillows first, though, in order to make the baby fit.

I would think you could. It really doesn't have to go on your pillow, per se. The filling in it is pretty cool on its own and grabs the heat from your body and dissipates in through the pad. So, I guess any body part can come in contact with it, not just your head.Using the pad, as is, under your pillow, is probably not going to offer much coolness. However, if you froze the pad first, it seems like under the pillow would work. My husband put it in the fridge about 20 minutes before bed, then slides it in his pillowcase, on top of the pillow, but under the case.

Yes, you can! I just bought this pillow last week, queen size. It was too high for me, so i opened one end, removed almost two grocery bags full of stuffing(its just loose foam pieces ). Now its perfect, fits in the pillowcase better too. I'm saving the stuffing in case i need to add some later.

Yes, but one of hte pillows is sewn in (the one on the end). The other is movable. This makes it a bit harder to clean, but it makes sense. That way, you always have something to lean against.

I don't see why not, but that would make the mattress lose its firmness through the night even faster (as body heat activates the "contouring") - we got the 3.5 firmness and it's still like waking up in a hammock every morning.

You could definitely put it under your shoulders, but it won't be able to get through the layers of your pillow if you put it underneath.

I don't know why not. Might have to leave it under inflated so it would bend where the bed bends but what you have is three pieces of wood hinged together and you could pretty much use anything mattress-like that can bend. The mattress is stopped from sliding off by a small rail at the bottom.

No. I think a memory foam pillow would work better for you, or a foam pillow that you can scoop away some of the foam.

No I would not because the mattress is too soft.. It causes mine as well as my husband back to hurt. .If you are having back problems you should consider purchasing a firmer mattress. .

In theory, yes, it should just fit under the mattress. In practice, it didn't work at all for me, not sturdy enough.

Yes. you can. However, I use it at night with one or two pillows below my head. One word of caution is that the farther you extend the IPAD arm the more prone it will start to fall. This is due to the weight. To counter this you can add a weight on the other end to balance it. What I do is I don't extend it too far and lay near the edge of my bed. I love it! My wife does not. So it's a mixed bag.

Yes, you can lay it directly on mattress sheet and have your shoulders laying on it. No, I don't believe it will do much good underneath a pillow as there would be little way for it to get through to pillow top. I have also used it wrapped in pillow case up against my neck/shoulders area from a seated position when I feel a hot flash coming.

You might be able to....I bought a box spring for my bed with a pillow top mattress and I didnt need the boxspring because it sat to high so I use the platform as the base...

Hi! Using a pillowcase is completely up to you. It would not interfere with the Memory Foam or the pillow design. Thank you, TheHomeLiquidator

Definitely, yes. It would be fluffy enough, but not big enough in surface area. I didn't realize that the company made a less-fill pillow though, so you might want to email the owner and see if they have a larger one? It can't hurt to ask!

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.
