An occupant support surface heater includes a foundation, a cover, an optional comfort layer, an activation layer, and at least one bus bar secured between the foundation and the cover. The foundation may include a foam pad and the comfort layer includes a conductive material mat that is contiguous with the foundation. The activation layer includes thermally conductive material in the form of an inorganic or organic nanotube structure to provide efficient thermal diffusion and heat delivery for the occupant support. The occupant support surface heater may be used to heat an occupant in the occupant support or to provide heat at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time in order to destroy live viruses or live bacteria at a surface of the unoccupied occupant support.
