Fibreglass goes pretty high on temperature. I hope it's not asbestos.

Depends how old they are. Mine are relatively recent and the insulation
looks a bit like stuff you get in lofts!

Maybe we could get Donald Trump to flog us some old space shuttle tiles? :-)

I /added/ rock wool insulation to mine; the pad was in good condition but
the front got hot and most of the heat had gone before evening. After extra
insulation it still had heat at bedtime.
