Both my husband and I sleep "hot". Will this make us hotter at night? We are looking for a way to slightly soften a very firm but good mattress

I have not had that problem... it has holes for ventilation... very comfortable!

This was my big worry. We don't have a memory foam mattress, but it does not make our pillow top king size mattress hot.

We did not find it hot to sleep on. My husband has high blood pressure, which causes him to be hot at night sometimes so we purchased a mattress cover (also from Amazon) that has a "cooling factor". It was not very expensive, as some are. We bought him a new pillow that also helps with cooling built in it. The mattress is also comfortable and a very good price. I hope this information helps.

I use cotton sheets, and my room stays pretty cool, but does get afternoon sun....I haven't noticed feeling hotter than a normal mattress. I do get very hot in my sleep, but I always have. Sooooo this answer really may not help! Tried my best! ;-)

I see that Larry Worth says this mattress is really warm. That' why I am hesitating on buying a foam mattress, I have heard they are hot. Has anyone else had this experience?

I definitely do not feel the mattress topper creates heat or makes me hot - but I can't say it keeps me cool exactly either; it doesn't seem to alter the temperature of the bed either way.

I don't know about cool gel. But I have not felt hot at all with this mattress! It has been amazing! My husband also says he has no issues about being too hot!

I have one and my husband and I love this!! I don't feel that it really retains body heat I have one and still use a heating blanket at night. I would definitely recommend this

I don't think it affects my mattress. If anything, the terry fabric on it might make it warmer. Is your mattress one of those gel or foam ones? The mattress salesperson that sold me my mattress says that the gel or foam mattresses tend to make people feel warmer. This is because the gel eventually gets to the same temp as the person and people sink into foam. Maybe it's also your bedsheets.

for us...it just added a little more comfort. We were trying to soften our mattress. We ended up buying a memory foam mattress instead.

I am also a hot sleeper, but do not find that this mattress keeps things cooler. The mattress topper is so nice to sleep on though.

I don't see why not, but that would make the mattress lose its firmness through the night even faster (as body heat activates the "contouring") - we got the 3.5 firmness and it's still like waking up in a hammock every morning.

It made my regular mattress feel hotter so I got rid of this thing. Can't speak for memory foam mattresses, but I thought my comment might help someone else out there.

I love this mattress pad, but I purchased because my new gel memory foam mattress was hot. My husband doesn't seems to have an issue, I'm still warm!

No, it really doesn't. It's supposed to create a cooler sleeping temp, based on the heat your body generates (or doesn't). I'm not sure it's doing that, but it's not making me sleep hot. I like it, it's comfortable, and it stays put on the bed.

My mattress was not hot to begin with so I cant say definitively but it didn't make it any hotter.

Yes, this mattress does get hot. There are times when the topside of my body feels slightly too cold, while the bottom side in contact with the mattress is burning. We're in northern California, where it's not even that hot outside. Currently trying to figure out ways to cool down the sleep situation. We will probably try putting a quilt between the mattress and mattress pad so our skin is further away from the mattress. This somewhat defeats the purpose of a memory foam mattress though.
