How long does the bed buddy stay hot? Thanks for your help!

I find it stays warm for about 10 minutes. I microwave it for 1min and 15 sec.

Mine stays really toasty for about 30-40 minutes. Then I pop it back in the microwave for 2.5 minutes, and it's good to go again.

it depends how hot you want it. I put mine for about 2 minutes and it lasts about 15 minutes. but then it cools and you redo it.

I would say about 20 minutes, depending on how hot you start with. I usually put it in the microwave for 2 minutes and it's usually a little too hot at first, but when it starts cooling off a little, it's toasty for probably 20-30 minutes.

I have not had a problem with it being hot. I have to keep my bedroom at around 65 or less because I just get so hot at night. This mattress does not seem to be hot and I have been sleeping really well on it. I find it nice and firm but not hard and the edges aren't to soft. I was thinking that if it did seem too warm I was going to get the gel topper for it but don't think it is needed.

I took it camping...filled with near boiling water. It stayed hot/warm for about 4 hours in my sleeping bag.

Becky, I am sorry it would only stay hot 30-60 minutes at the most if not plugged in. Diane

I put mine in the dryer (washed before putting on the bed) and didn't have any problems with it. I made sure that it was on low heat and was only in there for about 25 minutes. It didn't need more time than that.

Hello, never worked it out in hours but my dog (English Setter) loves his cool bed and chooses to lie on it most of the time. It does not loose it's cooling ability at all and sometimes, when he is nice and cool, he will move onto his nice soft blanket - obviously the cooling outlasts his need for it! Hope this helps.

Not sure exactly, we have six people in our house so usually doesn't last long. I know its still hot after 3-4 hours.

It gets warm but not too hot if you follow the directions, you don't want to handle it without either a towel or the cover between it and your hand.I just tested mine, following the directions I put in my microwave for 4 min (depends on your microwave) and it got up to about 155. Which is really good for me and my dog. (yes I use it for my feet and back too) I've had it stay warm over 12 hours when it's well insulated. Just make sure they don't chew on it.

I believe it's preset for 10 hours after you turn it on. So if you warm up the bed for 30-60 minutes, you will still have 9 or 9 plus hours of a warm bed. And if you forget to turn it off after just 7 hours of sleep, it will automatically turn off at the completion of those 10 hours. In other words, it doesn't run all day while you are at work or wherever.

It gets pretty warm; especially after my cat has been lying there for a while. I have a towel wrapped over the actual bed, and then a little fleece blanket so that my baby can snuggle down into the warmth. You may want to try that. If this one breaks, I will buy another. My Izzie LOVES it!

NO! For one thing I can't thing of too many things more uncomfortable than a hot (scalding?) wet body wrap around ones neck, especially as it start to cool. Second---The filler is not listed in the material packed with the Bed Buddy so it's difficult to tell what the effect of boiling water would be. The added weight of the water to the alread significant weight of the Bed Buddy would make it totally unusable. How about warming it in the clothes dryer? Worth a try.

I put this cover on my child's mattress, because he has a cheaper mattress, however, he has had trouble laying down for his nap, and staying in bed, so lately, I'll lay down next to him for a while till he gets sleepy. Once or twice I've fallen asleep, and no it didn't get hot or even warm. It was very comfortable. But I haven't slept on it for an extended period of time. Sorry about the lengthy answer.

My 10 year old is the same way. He hasn't complained about being hot. It's not cool gel bed.

I don't know about making you sleep cooler, but a few guests have slept on it and had no complaints about heat. They did say it was the most comfortable bed they've slept on. My brother slept for 12 hours when he visited. Said he slept so good and comfortably, he just didn't want to get out of bed!

It depends on where you keep it. I keep mine in my puppies kennel and it takes maybe thirty minutes for it to feel cold again after sleeping on it all night

Unfortunately, our old dog only got to use this cool pad for a month before she ran out of time, so my experience with it is limited. The website states that it cools for 3-4 hours,but it doesn't give a recharge time. Our dog seldom laid across the entire pad (but I also had bought one too big) and the exposed sections stayed cool to the touch. She would normally lay part of her body on the mat and apparently that was sufficient for her at the time. I think that she would have loved it come summertime as she was always so hot due to a heart condition and arthritis. This doesn't answer your questions, but I hope that it has helped you some.

depends on your settings. it lasts me approx 24 hours. My heat has been running more than usual in this cold weather we have been getting. I can say I am happy with it. easy to fill, does a good job. I currently use it in my bedroom.
