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 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!

My memory foam bed is too hot! Will this keep me cool on top of memory foam? My bamboo pillow doesn't stay cool, and gets hot after awhile too.

I would say that it depends directly on ambient temperature. Here it doesn't get really hot, so for me, it's not an issue. Great product, really comfy, especially when you want to relax.

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'm not the best person to ask about this, as I am always cold and sleep w/a heated mattress pad on my side of the bed, but my husband, who is always warmer than I, has never complained about being sweaty on his side of the bed. My daughter, who has a different company's memory foam mattress, doesn't mention anything like that either. Hope this is helpful! Much success to you!

My husband usually has night sweats, but this does not seem to be an issue with this mattress cover. It is also a great price I looked around quite a bit. I hope this helps.

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 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.

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.

No, it is too hot for this spring/summer weather. I remove it from the bed at night as it is just too hot.

Michele - i live in Honolulu - 80 degrees F most days. at night, goes down to '70'sF. it's fairly warm.i use the foam pad under my mattress pad and sheet - it is comfortable, doesn't make me feel hot. i got it because i'd broken my shoulder and was in severe pain for months - the pad, plus a "body pillow" helped a lot. it seesm like good "memory foam - hasn't flattened out at all. i hope this is helpful to you. i have it on a "queen-size" bed (actually a futon mattress on a box spring). aloha from honolulu!! - john

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.

I'm sorry that I am just now seeing this. I personally have not slept on this, so I can't answer. I bought this for the futon, when we have overnighters staying. I haven't had any complaints that it makes you hot, though.

I do not have an issue with this item holding in heat. It is very comfortable to sleep on. This purchase will definitely not be a waste of money. You can read all the reviews but until you experience this mattress pad for yourself only then will you understand what the rave reviews are about.

I would say that it depends on where you live. We are in Arizona and it has been fine for this winter. I don't find it to be to hot at all. However, I have not had the mattress through a summer here in Arizona. If you live somewhere that the temperature cools down at night I would say you won't have a problem. If it's still 105 degrees at 10:00 p.m. it might be warm. Sorry, can't give a better answer than this. Check back in July! :-)

Memory foam is a petroleum-based product, and some brands will be more odiferous than others. It is the consensus of mattress experts that the severity of the odor will dissipate over time. You want a breathable mattress protector, to not only aid in this by allowing the mattress to air out, but also to not retain heat. This is very important with memory foam. Certain brands will say they no longer sleep hot, but why exacerbate any potential heat issues?
