Yes, typically they wore padding both for comfort and extra protection.
I once wore some chainmail to a party and wore only underwear beneath it, and I ended up burning myself by being close to the bonfire. I was close to the fire because I was cold, because metal against one's skin late at night gets very chilly.
It was very silly, but also worth it. I looked great ,and I loved people's shock at it being actual chainmail (as well as their surprise when I replied "thanks, I made it myself!")
