Memory foam and electric blankets

brookjump

I need to get a new single mattress for my kid.  He will be a teenager in a few years and he also has allergies (blocked nose) so consequently wanna get rid of his current 13 plus year old mattress as I suspect it has dustmites. 

 He and mmyself also both like using electric blankets , is this a problem if the pocket sprung mattress has memory foam at the top?

I haven't felt mine being any different after using my blanket all winter

I use an electric blanket with a 100% memory foam mattress and haven't noticed anything different

Sales assistant  Basically  said Um half the companies Said it's okay To put electric blanket on Memory foam the other half said it wasn't okay.

He's going to say to cover himself that it's not okay so it's not clear really

We replaced our son's mattress for similar reasons not long ago (he has allergies too and was waking up all stuffed up). A newer mattress made a big difference. Dust mites definitely build up over the years, especially in older ones.

As for the electric blanket + memory foam combo, we've been using ours all winter on a pocket sprung mattress with a memory foam top and haven’t noticed any issues either. The heat from the blanket can technically affect the foam over time, but honestly, if you’re not cranking it up to max every night, it should be fine.
