Dive! Dive! Dive! (seed subs)

I tried Joel Holland's method, (starting in 1 gallon containers), again this
year and after a week, none of my seeds had broken the surface.  I was very
careful to plant them exactly 1.25 inches below the surface of the medium which
is 1/3 perlite, 1/3 peat and 1/3 vermiculite, so I decided to find out what
happened.  I started carefully digging, and found them about 4 inches down,
germinated, and apparently healthy.  I wouldn't have thought they would have
settled that much.  Just hope the bottom heat from the seed starting mat didn't
cook them.  Maybe if I had planted them flat, they wouldn't  have settled so
much.  Any other ideas?
