It would need to be a fuse on each branch of the heating element. And even so, sometimes a defect in one line of the heating element causes it to catch on fire anyway due to the concentration of current.

I mean, this depends on the layout of the heating device. It could also just be a metal plate with a single heating element underneath, using metal to distribute the heat.

Oh that’s a good idea: cut a thin metal sheet and sandwich it between the heater and the bedding.
