Make sure she's not directly touching the pad, fluff up the bedding, and she should be fine. You may want to look into methods to increase the ambient temps so that she doesn't feel the need to huddle on the heat pad for long enough periods of time to burn herself.

No she wasn't, that's why I have to bump it up in the first place so I could get it through the substrate.

My ambient temps are fine, though. I've never had a problem with temps. I pretty much have a red bulb for every wattage and just switch as need be. Ever since the winter season has started, however, she has done nothing but stay in her cold hide. I only see her wander to the other side if she needs a drink. I always assumed it was because she sensed all the cold fronts we've been getting.

My cold side is 80-82, and the warm side is 84-86
