can it be used effectively with an egg crate pad used on a dorm mattress?

sure, if you put it beneath the pad. Just don't expect this to give you any padding, it's practically nothing.

Yes, if you Are just looking for a cover. As I said before the quilted mmaterial is very thin so it does not provide much padding but would work fine as a cover.

my daughter is in college and her dorm room has a typical dorm mattress, which isn't even as thick as a regular mattress. we put a 1 inch memory foam on top of the mattress and then this mattress pad over it all. The sides were very stretchy and were tight enough to hold it all together.

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.

Hi. I don't think we got the Twin XL, which is the dorm size. I think we got regular twin. That said, we have a very thick twin mattress with a pillow top, and the thing wouldn't fit over the mattress. Luckily we had also bought an encasement for the box spring, which wasn't as thick as the mattress in our case. So what we did was to trade, putting the box spring cover (which was deeper) on the mattress and the mattress cover on the box spring! I'm sorry, I don't know the actual measurements of this item (it's at my daughter's apartment, not here). But I did want to let you know that some mattresses are too deep for it!

I placed it under the mattress pad. Doesn't seem to compress the foam pad too much

I bet you could,as long as you order a twin for the usual dorm sized mattresses.

Yes it will work good. I have an adjustable bed and the pad is thick and heavy and with a mattress pad over it the pad stays put and it does not slide. This is a quality product and we love it!

These encasements will protect against bugs and insects from biting. Bed Bugs are a huge problem in dorms.A soft mattress pad for additional comfort may be used to cover the encasements. The encasements also provide a fluid barrier. For easy installation, stand the mattress on end and simply zip on the encasements

I use a cabela's foam pad designed to fit their cots. It is about 2 inches thick, and it works perfectly.

Sorry, I have never used a mattress pad. I guess if you use a fitted bed sheet, the pad will stay in position over the encasement. I used the mattress and box spring encasement to get rid of the bedbugs. I hope this helps.

I use it bumps up, like a hospital egg crate, and I did put a mattress cover over it. If you buy, I hope you enjoy it as much as we are ours.

Yes it will work on any sized bed top or bottom Because it expands.However it is the thickness of the mattress that matters. It is useless on my 6 " double pillow top mattress but a perfect fit on his dorm bed..... Serves its purpose .... And for the price ......to me it is ok .Isn't the rails on your bunk bed high enough though? Adding these rails inside of those rails will take up space leaving less room to turn and twist.

Yes. I don't see why not. I bought a cover for the mattress so if you do that, the heated mattress pad won't be directly on the foam.

I haven't tried(on memory foam) but I'm sure you can with a very shape blade. I have cut very thick cushion foam and I've cut that egg crate foam to fit a smaller bed without ant problems. Good luck

No, not at all. It's very comfortable and offers that extra bit of support. Actually, keeps your mattress from wearing a bit longer. I would totally recommend this egg crate, for comfort, support and it comes at a great price. It's very well made, and I don't get too warm at all

I would think so. I use mine on low, and it comes with timer so you would leave it just as long as you like. I would put a mattress pad on the air mattress first.

I'm not sure why not -- most any solid flat surface should be ok. Of course, if the surface it's on flexes or dips it may have some effect on how the mattress feels and responds to pressure, but I wouldn't think it would necessarily be a "bad" thing to do.
