Laptop heating issue..

I just got my first laptop, the Toshiba 5205-S705... Well, it's wireless and I was using it on my bed, and I had it sitting on the sheets of my bed. I noticed that the bottom of the laptop was pretty hot. It even has a warning label to not use the laptop on bare skin.

So my question is, can it burn the sheets or something and start a fire? I didn't smell any burning, but I am just concerned. Also, the fan is on the bottom and back of the laptop. Could this cause an over-heating problem? Is there a way to find out if it is overheating? Dunno if laptops have censors like PCs

Thanks
 
the manual I got with my laptop specifically said don't use the laptop directly on your bed, as it will block fans and vents causing it to overheat. put it on a flat surface so the little feet can hold it a bit off and allowing air flow.

I use an old 3 ring binder for this, it also gives it a bit of a slant that's nice with viewing the screen and typing.
