I think it does help some. I get hot flashes also and this one is way better than the previous one I had.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell whether it's cooling or not because i have three layers of high-count-thread sheets on it ... but i know for sure that it's waterproof :)

It's made of a thin breathable material . I bought it because we have temper pedic cooling mattress and the protector doesn't seem to inhibit how the mattress feels. I don't think it would make a difference on a regular mattress.

I know what hot flashes are like - terrible. But this mattress cover doesn't have a "cooling" effect, it says cool shield because it is waterproof. Some waterproof covers are plastic and would make you sweat. I do not get a feeling that this makes you overheated - its just my feeling but I am always warm so I would know if this product made me warmer - it doesn't. I hope this helps.

I can't say for sure, because the mattress we just purchased is an actual cooling mattress. I purchased it mainly because I wanted a breathable cover - so the mattress that we purchased we can feel the coolness from. Sorry, I wish I can help answer your question better. I did however find out that taking Vitamin B12 helps big time with hot flashes. So good luck to you. I feel your pain.

No, it's not a cooling mattress protector, but the waterproof backing doesn't make one's back feel hot and sweaty like some rubber-backed or plastic-backed materials do.

I didn't cover my mattress instead I bought Organic Wool Topper, It works both ways keeps you cool in the summer & warm in the winter.

We have noticed no difference in having the cover. There is absolutely no heat build up that we are aware of. We find it to be just what we were looking for using it on our Tempurpedic mattress.

Neither cooling or baking. I have many many hot flashes and I find it to be quite comfortable. I think that is because there is no foam in it, so it breathes better. It is more comfortable than my wool mattre$$ pad!

I to was concerned about being to hot on a foam mattress. I am post menopausal and hot on any bed, however the foam is not any different then my regular bed for heat. I purchased a nice think mattress pad maybe that's helping.

I have not found this mattress to be hot. That was always a worry I had too. I already had a topper with the "cooling" technology and I have put that on top of this mattress. I am also in the age group where I tend to pull the sheet off and back on a few times in the night even with my topper. I got something called a Chillow a few years ago and if I feel a warm trend starting I put my arm or leg on it and it truly does cool you down.

We actually bought the gel to stay cool but it doesnt work. Bed still gets hot at night. The only thing the gel pad provided was more padding and we already have a memory foam mattress so that was of no help to us.

This topper is really thick and high fluffy so you are at least a couple inches removed from the mattress. So yes I think it should keep you a bit cooler and for sure comfy. Thanks for the heads up about those memory foam mattresses. It is exactly why we never bought one.

No, it doesn't make me feel hot (it's 100% cotton, with no synthetic fibers). I have a comfortable firm mattress, and I didn't want an overthick, fluffy pad on top of it, so I really like this pad. If I were trying to sleep on the equivalent of a board, maybe it wouldn't be enough.

I think it works well for me as far as keeping me cooler. We are talking major hot flashes and this helps me feel in control. I like this one because there are no beads inside so she could just but it under tap water for a while till it gets wet then put it on. This is my favorite of the few I tried.

I don't know about cooler but this is the most comfortable mattress cover I have ever slept on. I have issues with night sweats and haven't noticed them being an issue since we put this on our bed. Whether it is the pad, I can't say. It is a high quality mattress topper and is soft and durable. I also don't have a Tempurpedic mattress but have a pillow top mattress. I can tell you they are extremely responsive to their customers and care about their products and customer satisfaction. I even received a thank you note from them.

I do not think so. I tried it on a regular spring coil mattress and it behaved like a gel eye mask. It stayed cool for approximately an hour and it was very pleasant during that time, but eventually it started accumulating heat and radiating it back. By the way, my condolences on owning a memory foam bed - those things are impossible to sleep on because of overheating. Nothing beats regular mattress. I only tried this cooling pad because my bedroom gets hot during summer, but it turned out my bed actually felt cooler without cooling pads on it.

I have a memory foam mattress and it didn't work for me. I don't need a wetness shield. I needed something to keep me cool. It didn't help. Hope this helps

it actually does work it will keep you cooler your husband's probably you since you probably look hot that just getting hot for him but anyhow you have to let the mattress air out before you put it on the bed and it takes a week to 10 days so just plan on when you get it unravel it and let it breathe for a week to 10 days and it won't stink but after it does work

NO! not at all, that's one of the key characteristics I love about it. I've always had heat issues with mattress pads, foam, etc. I will definitely buy this again when my current one needs replacing.

The air coming from Cool on the go is just air. It acts like a regular fan. I have a problem with hot flashes and this just makes me feel more comfortable.
