Can you use a heating pad and/or electric blanket with this?

I use a electric blanket/pad that goes under the sheets and is like a fitted mattress cover. I've used the electric heading blanket/pad all winter and have not seen any break-down of the memory foam topper; however, the electric blanket/pad does not come in direct contact with the memory foam.

I don't know about an electric blanket but I use a heating pad all the time. No problems noticed. But I do have a mattress pad on top of the foam.

No. You need an analog blanket. They don't make them anymore. But might find something on eBay.

Joy, we don't use a sheet. The pad is on the outside/underneath, so there is no place to put a sheet. We gave our son a blanket (but it gets a lot warmer in the pea pod than in the room) that he can use if he wants.

It is unlikely a normally-operating electric blanket will melt this topper, as the foam reflects/traps enough heat that the temperature control will kick in as if a person were under the blanket. I would not recommend an electric blanket, however, as the viscose foam sleeps VERY warm. You will find that more than your own body heat (except in unusually cold conditions) may be warmer than you prefer.

The underside is a thin plastic/vinyl material and it has a removable pillow that goes on top of that. I don't know if the materials would be a fire hazard if used with a heating blanket, although being that it is a thin bottom layer under the removable pillow, that layer could possibly melt with enough heat. I can say that this bed is warm enough for any pet to not need a heating pad because it retains their body heat inside. If it is going to be used outside, I would choose a bed with a smaller entrance hole and/or put the heating pad on top of the included pillow, not underneath.

Hi...you can but they are not as bad as when I slept ontop of my regular electric blanket and......the pad is AMAZINGLY warm. It is a great investment!

I would say you probably can. It doesn't get hot like a human heating pad because K&H; says on their site that animals have different internal thermostats. Their heating pads are designed to warm the animal and not make them hot. Their site is very informative and they have all kinds of wonderful products for pets. I have 4 heating pads and one of the nylon cat houses that has a heating pad and is beautifully made!!! I highly recommend their products based on my experiences with them. Sturdy materials, heavy duty wire and coils around them, nylon, all of it. And, the fleece covers which have 4 elastic corners to go over the pad so it is soft and fleecy. I think each heating pad offers one. I would say you probably can. It doesn't get hot like a human heating pad because K&H; says on their site that animals have different internal thermostats.

No. It does not get as warm as a regular (human) heating pad, however, so this is not a problem. My frail old dog loves it. I put it under a blanket on top of her dog bed. A great product!

Yes. You can also use a low heat pad in colder temperature. Some of soft blanket for them to huddle together to build up their own body heat. Just like you under a blanket. Thanks for taking care of the little ones

I don't know for sure, but my supposition is that most of the warmth and comfort would be absorbed by the memory foam . I think an electric blanket would be more suitable and will warm the bed nicely. I happen to have both, and use them both. Good luck...

I am not certain what sort of field an electric mattress pad creates, but it may not give you the results you desire to ground if being surrounded by an electric mattress pad. Here is a link to their FAQs: http://www.earthing.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1835#d14 scroll to the part about using a laptop-- I'm guessing a mattress pad doesn't generate that much compared to a laptop, but if successful grounding and reducing your exposure to electrical fields is your goal, using a heating pad might not be helpful.

Yes, I think you could use it at the top of your bed as you could always turn it off if you were getting too warm. I don't like an electric blanket as it is too warm for me. I was very pleased with the smaller bed warmer to help keep my feet warm. I also have arthritis issues in my shoulders and plan to have total shoulder replacement surgery on the 21st of this month. It was suggested that you could place it behind your shoulders while sitting in a recliner, but I didn't try that method. It is a very nice heating pad that can be used for many other purposes.

It's not really a heating pad, it's just a fuzzy cloth cover for a heating pad. Hope this helps.

Hello, I am happy to respond ... The electric spa wrap is smaller than an electric blanket. I love mine as I use it all the time. It is way better than a heating pad as it many ways to place it on the body and wrap your body in it. I hope this helps answer your question.

It says you can use it for heat also but I haven't tried it. I dont want to risk it so I use a heating pad for heat.

There is a place for the electric cord to fit through the Kitty Tube although I haven't used it. I would ask the company directly to see what they would use for a heating pad.
