How to Use Memory Foam on an Electric Mattress Cover

Memory foam is one of the most popular bedding items. Its innovative technology provides many people with a more comfortable support system for a better night's sleep. Because memory foam uses a temperature-sensitive system, you might wonder whether you can use it with an electric mattress cover. According to Comfort House's Jeffrey Gornstein, this is perfectly acceptable. Just keep the temperature sensitivity of memory foam in mind when doing so, since memory foam is more sensitive to fluctuating temperatures than traditional bedding materials.

     Place your bed sheets over the memory foam topper or pad. Make sure the fitted sheet is sufficiently secured. This will hold the memory foam topper or pad in place. Make up the rest of your bed.

     Set your electric mattress cover on the lowest setting to test the memory foam's response. Because memory foam absorbs and retains heat, you do not need a high setting on electric mattress covers.
