How high does the heat setting go? I looked up some of the comments and a few state that the wires feel bumpy...is it okay to put a fleece cover over?

Heat goes high. I usually keep it on 2 notches & it is plenty thru a fitted and a rubber sheet. It warms up nicely & u can set the time from 1 to 4 hours. The wire box is at a corner, it can get in way of one foot, but if u stretch it over a bit, most clients do not know it is there & i have not had anyone comment on it as of yet; we have used them for over 6 mos now. I would think the fleece cover would cut down on heat transfer, but s/b safe. just turn up heat more. Hope u like it.

I have just sheets over the table warmer and my clients say it is comfortable. I do not think you would need a fleece cover over it.

The setting goes quite high and warms up rather quickly. When I first received the warmer I was worried about the wires. But my clients didn't seem to mind them (They were to warm and relaxed) But it works really well and is the best warmer I have found. It would be absolutely fine to put something over it to buffer the feeling of the wires. Like a mattress cover or nice wool blanket. There are 5 heat settings (low to high) and 4 time settings (between 1 Hour and 8 Hrs.)

I have no idea how to measure the temperature, but it does get hot enough to have to turn it down. I use it at home only for personal use. I don't know if a fleece cover would be necessary, I don't need it.

I use mine on top of fleece. It doesnt seem to distribute heat evenly.I tried under the fleece, it needs to be on top of fleece :)

The mattress pad is evenly heated. You can feel the wires if you try. They are not noticeable when laying on the pad.

We were a little leery about the coils being uncomfortable, but so far they haven't been an issue. Yes, they're there, but not noticeably uncomfortable. The plug at the bottom of the bed is obvious, but again, it's rather a trade off. I prefer to be toasty.

To me it just feels nice! There is a bit of a lump at the center foot where the wires connect to the pad, but it's pretty close to the bottom/foot of the bed. I'm pretty tall so I notice it, but my wife doesn't even know it's there.

I ordered them together and immediately put the cover on. I haven't noticed any heat buildup and have used it for several hours at a time before. As a rule, I would notice if it or any electronic device was unusually warm and so far that hasn't happened. The cover has holes/vents where they need to be if you order the same brand (Matricom) cover.

BTW, mine is soft, warm and the fur is in tact. I even machine was and dry it. The person who complained may have bought a cheap knock off. We have 5 blankets and they are great! Amazon seems to be cheaper than Ebay on these. Also, if u search fleece u may get the short fur or flannel type blankets.

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine. Morrison

it nay not feel very warm to you with a 98.6 temp, but on a cold day outside, the contrast is noticeable. Cole paws on the cement do notice the warmth of the heater. I always use a cover on it, a towel or polar fleece so they don't feel any coils. I am on my second year or caring for ferals, I have a family of 4, Mom, Dad, Baby and uncle Fluffy. and after a winter of below zero nights and days, I am very happy for the heaters, I have them in 2 small doghouses.

I use a comforter over mine, but I sometimes find it increases the heat too much. Not a problem, just an observation.

I thought it was hot. I tend to run warm anyway, with night sweats (TMI?) and it seemed the extra padding got extra hot and retained the heat. This is not a complaint about the product - it is well made, extremely plush and cushy. It's just a note that if you're hot and sweaty at night, this isn't one of those magic breathing, wicking matress covers that's going to alleviate any problems and could make it slightly worse. If I weren't a middle aged-woman, I'd give it 5 stars. :)

Ive had no problems with it being too warm but I sleep with my a/c set pretty low. I have in the past had mattress pads that I thought were hot, I havent noticed that with this one

Personally, I keep mine pinned under a thick blanket, the heat comes right through, the blanket cushions the wires and then sheets on top keeps it pretty clean.

I have had no problems whatsoever. No kinking and no problems with heat control and I have laid directly on it for the entire night. The only problem is that it can get very hot.

I haven't experienced any discomfort from it heating up and it has not caused me to sweat. It is overall a pretty good Mattress pad. I supplemented it with an 1 1/2 inch thick, 5 zone gel foam pad.

We have never felt any heat built up. The cover is on a foam Serta icomfort mattress, and we, too, had the same concern. There is a texture to the material, but under the sheets, it isn't noticeable, and is probably beneficial. We are completely unaware of having a cover. Having used traditional mattresses (including pillow top style) and ultra thick plush covers, we have found our current bedding to be superior. Good luck if you select this item - it has been just fine for us.
