Just bought a topper for a hard mattress. Which order do I put the following:

Sheet
mattress protector
mattress topper
electric blanket
Mattress

think I might need some deeper sheets!

From your list, I'd agree mattress first.

Then protector followed by topper. Then electric blanket.

Finally sheet.

Maybe protector and topper could be swapped around.

I thought it was going to be a medal presented by the Duke of Bedford. A bit like an OBE.

I'd go for mattress, then topper, then protector, followed by electric blanket and then sheet.

Check your electric blanket - ours (a warner blanket) states not to use with a mattress topper if it’s memory foam.

otherwise what cynderella wrote regarding order.

ShaunaTheSheep · 06/12/2022 21:12

From the top:

Sheet
Protector
Electric blanket
Topper
Mattress

No, the protector is for the topper, the electric blanket can go in the wash easily and anything on top of it will stop the heat

so it needs to be sheet, underneath electric blanket, beneath this is the protector, then the topper and then the mattress.

Sheet
mattress topper
Mattress

Electric blankets arent something I would consider at all tbh.

I'd go for mattress, then topper, then protector, followed by electric blanket and then sheet.

I was going to suggest the exact same- but also to check the mattress topped can indeed be used with an electric blanket.

SantasFlaws · 06/12/2022 21:27

I have mattress, topper, electric blanket, protector, sheet.

It doesn't stop the heat at all and I much prefer it to sleeping on a sheet with the electric blanket directly below it.

reallyhatewinter · 06/12/2022 21:39

I'd do
mattress
Topper
Electric blanket
Protector (easily washed)
Sheet (easily washed)

Having never owned an electric blanket I don't know if they can be washed or not.

Love this. What an honour! "For her lifelong dedication to lying on 400 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, mastering the Order of The bedding with aplomb .... I hereby pin a medal in the shape of a feather atop your nightgown"

I thought something along these lines too, maybe a new chapter in the Harry Potter-verse!!

Frlrlrubert · 06/12/2022 22:36

I don't have a topper but I'd go:

Mattress
Topper
Electric blanket
Mattress protector
Sheet

I put my electric blanket in the bed at the weekend and considered putting it directly under the sheet but decided on under the protector because the protector can be washed easily and the electric blanket can't. Also comfier because my electric blanket is quite bumpy.

DramaAlpaca · 06/12/2022 22:50

I don't use an electric blanket as I generate plenty of my own heat thanks to the menopause.

Bedding goes, from bottom to top in the most logical order for easeof washing:

Mattress
Topper
Protector
Sheet

Topaz67 · 07/12/2022 08:20

Thank you everyone. I have gone with the majority and sandwiched the electric blanket between the topper and protector as I the bumpy bits (element) in the blanket would keep me awake. It’s not memory foam but we did check and as it’s a Silent Night topper they say you can only use with a Silent Night electric blanket, of course😉
