My heat is set at 64 at night so i can relate.
Get some “Root Riot” cubes, put your seeds in them about 1.5 inches, then put that in a solo cup with some Fox Farms happy soil under an incandescent bulb for warmth. Mist around the cube daily so the tap root has to search a bit for the water, and keep your temp higher than 70
“Happy Frog” soil....but keep a light close for warmth. I sprout beans always in Root Riot in solo cup with soil under a 4 bulb-4 foot T5 with a curved reflector that keeps them toasty

I have that exact pad but I’m worried about overheating
I use that too. Use a buffer. A layer or two of cardboard, or more. They can get too hot for sure.

LER have it at 70 but it gets cold and down to 67 regularly. I lost a Somango and critical Kush seed last week because of this. I am now trying to pop so PCK. I remember last winter I had same problem and put them in a wet towel on the fridge. Well we have a new fridge and it doesn’t get warm up there

Wrap a sealed plastic container with your damp paper toweled seeds inside, in a small towel or t shirt. Put it over a constant source of heat, like a reading lamp.
