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 .

You probably can, that's a good idea! My duvet is also really warm so that is probably what I will do.

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.

I actually didn't put a duvet or anything inside of it. We're just using it as a bedspread, so I don't know that answer for sure. From the way it fits the bed, I would think a standard comforter would work just fine.

I love it. It's not heavy. It's more the weight of a bedspread. I am using it now with a sage green dust ruffle. I do have blankets on the bed.

I don't think It would hurt to put a fleee table warmer ontop the foam toppe. it would give it a softer fee to lay their and g comfortable

The company says that it should be on a hard surface with no padding/insulation on top or beneath as it can cause overheating and thus a fire hazard. It seems many people are successfully using the bed that way but just thought I would pass on the official answer to that question

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.

My suggestion is what I do for our covered back porch bed. I put an LL Bean dog blanket on top. It gives a barrier and can be washed and dried as needed.

I think it is heavy, but I have a hard time describing what degree of heavy. It's crisp and holds it shape, very well made. In summer, if it is 75 degrees indoors, one sheet and this bedspread provide plenty of warmth with no blanket. Sorry, I couldn't do a better job in defining "heavy."

No you can't put anything over it. The whole idea of the sheet is that you sleep on it and that's how the eathing happens. Putting a sheet over it will insulate you from it. It's a great sheet and doesn't nee anything over it. Hope that helps.

Well, I think you might get a bit chilled trying to cover yourself with this item. However, if you just want to store a comforter...it should work well:)

I really don't know if folding would harm the unit but I (think) you could just wrap around mattress and would not be a problem. there are different sizes just buy the smallest .. these mattress warmer are great !!!

Certainly - you want your fitted sheet to go over the mattress pad. Just be certain that the electrical connections at the head of the bed are secure. We LOVE our heated mattress pad - still using it!!

Since I use mine outdoors in a cat house for the local strays, I do place an old thin towel on top of the light fleece cover that the warmer comes with. This way I can wash it and the cover doesn't get dirty. I would not use a cat bed on top of it. I'd be concerned that the bottom of the bed would get heated, but not the cat.

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.

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!
