Hi Ian,

Thank you for your enquiry.

The latex layer in the Origins Pocket Latex 1500 is not directly under the top cover, this is a 300 GSM wool/silk blend pad, which will provide a barrier between the heat of your electric blanket and the latex layers. As you are probably aware, latex, unlike memory foam, does not require heat to activate the pliability. We trust that this resolves your query, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please call our office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards Julie
