I have heard that some mattress toppers hold in a lot of heat, so Iam wondering if this product gets too hot in the summertime? I tend to sweat alot in the night, and am looking for bed products that breathe and would not make me sweat so bad.~Thanks!

Ive had no problems with it being too warm but I sleep with my a/c set pretty low. I have in the past had mattress pads that I thought were hot, I havent noticed that with this one

I live in the desert south of Las Vegas and I haven't experienced that problem. My wife has a high metabolism and often has to kick off the covers but she hasn't had a problem either. We love this mattress pad, and would buy another.

I was wondering if it was breathable bc I was looking to put it over my waterproof mattress. We sweat with only the waterproof one so I was looking for a cotton breathable barrier. I realize this is not an answer to her question but I wondered if the person who mentioned they used it over their vinyl one had any comments.

We have used a Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pad over a 3" memory foam topper for almost 20 years. Not had a problem yet. The pad doesn't get hot enough to burn you, so it shouldn't get to hot for the topper. Our topper does have a 2" filled cover over it before the mattress pad.

I love the feel but I have it under my mattress pad and sheet. Does not feel hot. I am not using it because I have a child (so I can not say anything about being waterproof!), just using it because I wanted good protection for my new mattress.

I would say the gel is cool, not cold. It does warm up with your body heat but doesn't get uncomfortably hot. However, in cold weather, I've notice the mattress topper becomes firm but later softens with body heat.

I use this memory form topper on a regular mattress. This mattress topper will NOT allow you a cooler sleep. It's only cool to the initial touch but it warms up during the night. Especially because it's so soft and it contours to your body. Your body will create a huge divot in the mattress, trapping the heat in. It has helped me for different things: I'm pregnant so it helps support my growing belly. My back & hips don't hurt any more. I hope this will be useful.

I think all memory foam holds your body heat to some extent. I sewed some pillow cases for mine so with the extra layer between me and the pillow I haven't noticed it being hot. Although it has been fairly cold here yet, so I guess we'll find out soon enough!

It says 'cooling' because it is not as hot as the older memory foam toppers were. Lots of people complained about the heat retention because it is a closed cell foam. The manufacturers started adding holes in the material, then designing cooling systems to remove some of the heat. So this isn't designed to cool you, it's designed to release some of the heat (ie, cool) retained in the closed cell structure of the foam.

it doesn't hold heat. I wouldn't says keeps cool but it doesn't keep the heat to where it is hot. I have not problem sleeping with them. I really like them. I am a hot blooded person and I prefer a cooler bed and pillow. I can say that I don't get hot at night. I hope this helps.

I used to wake up in a sweat frequently on my plain sheets/mattress.. i feel comfy warm on this topper.. i don't know if it's cause it breathes a little bit or it absorbs.. i still turn frequently as always but less than before, it won't fix a bad mattress, certainly increases comfort though. I am happy with my purchase still after over a month.. i did have to give it some time as the change in bedding configuration revealed some aches I didn't know I had.

Any air or water mattress will pull heat from your body. Always use a mattress pad, foam topper, or even a comforter to get some air space between you and the mattress. It also limits sweating due to close contact with the non breathable mattress material.

I would say it's only good for summer if you have an air conditioner. If your room is not air conditioned then you will most likely sweat while sleeping.

Our mattress pad seems to stay cool, it does not add heat like some mattresses add heat. Even my husband was impressed with the cooler temperature difference and he definitely doubted it would produce results for a better sleeping experience.

I want to say one thing. It WILL inhibit the contouring BUT just slightly. ANYTHING put on the mattress top will inhibit the contouring even a sheet. I would rather have my expencive mattress protected than worry about contouring of my body. You will find in the summer months you will NOT like all that contouring because it will make your body hot and sitcky. YOU NEED AIR BETWEEN YOUR BODY AND THE MATTRESS. Believe me on that.The top of the protector ( the terry cloth ) will help some but not much.

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

I have not had a problem with it being hot. I have to keep my bedroom at around 65 or less because I just get so hot at night. This mattress does not seem to be hot and I have been sleeping really well on it. I find it nice and firm but not hard and the edges aren't to soft. I was thinking that if it did seem too warm I was going to get the gel topper for it but don't think it is needed.

I really don't know how to answer that. I still sleep with a down comforter over me, and I haven't really even thought about if the mattress pad is too warm. I can't stand to sleep on a waterproof mattress cover, I sweat terribly, that's why I intentionally bought one that is not water proof. Maybe that's what's happening to you.
