Question 1

Can a heating pad be used as a mattress?

Accepted Answer

Heating pads should not be used in place of a mattress. If you want a mattress that provides heating, that is an entirely different product and is much more expensive. However, large heating pads can be placed on the mattress and, depending on what kind of comfort you need, you can use them like a heated mattress. Just be sure to check the dimensions of the pad to see if it is long enough to cover your body.

Question 2

Can heated pads be washed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most weighted heating mats are washable either by hand or in the machine. Always read the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions prior to washing. For most pads, all you need to do is disconnect the power cord and throw the pad into the washing machine and wash on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry. Other pads have the option to remove their cover for washing.

Question 3

Can I lie on top of a weighted heating pad?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. In fact, you can also sit on it or wrap it around the targeted area to get the best results. We recommend investing in a heating pad with an automatic shut-off system for sleeping on, that way it will go off without overheating your back or any other body part.
