I used two layers, but it would depend on your mattress pad.

I never thought of using a mattress pad. I've been planning to make some potholders, too. I've got an old mattress pad, might as well put it to good use.
I read somewhere that felted wool sweaters work well. I've got two wool sweaters that were my DH's that got accidentally felted :oops: . I'm going to cut them up and use them in some of the potholders. It might be interesting to see which works better.
