Will it help cool down a memory foam mattress? What is the thickness of the topper?

I don't think it's going to cool it down. It's more likely to keep warmth in. It's about an 1 to 1.5 inch thick.

I don't own a memory foam mattress, so I cannot answer the question. There is a big difference between this mattress topper compared to others I've owned. It is quite plush and generously sized. You won't be fighting with this cover to fit over your mattress and it washes beautifully.

About 2 to 3 inches not very thick. My sister that needs a hip replacement can not sleep on the the bed that has this on it even though the matress underneath is a pillow top. If you want more comfort support for your self, your family or a guest go to a 4 inch or higher memory foam topper. My husband uses a twin size one at the firehouse he got from Amazon that has an egg creat and memory foam mattress that makes it 6 inches and it does not hurt his back.

As long as the mattress cover is thin, then the effectiveness of the cooling gel will remain.

Sandy, The Extra Plush and Extra Thick Pad is approximately 2.5 inches thick and is indeed a mattress topper. When laying on it, it will compress, but will still offer a great deal of comfort and support. Please let us know if you have any additional questions, we'd love to help! Thank you! -Brett ES Customer Service

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.

This should help to keep an airflow layer between you and the mattress topper.

It's not very thick and is regular foam not the type that conforms to your body. That being said I have used it on a very uncomfortable futon and it helped a lot to make it more comfortable. If the person using it is not very heavy it may work.

This is a topper (1 inch thick) goes on the top of a mattress for extra comfort. soothes pressure points, which reduces tossing and turning for a better night's sleep. The responsive, temperature-sensitive memory foam adjusts to your body's shape and position.

The way it is set up under the sheet it will blow the cool air over the top of the mattress pad and under the sheet. Couldn't imagine it would make that much of a difference but I do not have a memory foam so can't give you a definite answer on that. Sorry

I don't know that it's any cooler, but neither is it hotter. If you have your room temperature set to a cool, comfortable temperature (I like to keep mine about 66 at night, year-round), you should do just fine. I know that many of the foam mattresses/toppers tend to retain heat. I don't believe this one does - at least not to any noticeable extent. On the flipside though, it doesn't seem to dissipate heat any better than you'd find sleeping on a standard mattress. BOTTOM LINE: Temperature-wise, I'd say it's neutral. The benefit comes in the better sleeping surface that contours to your body - a good benefit for the fraction of the cost of a full foam mattress.

We put it over our mattress pad - I am not sure what a mattress topper is. The Heated pad is very large - we have a new bed and had no problem.

It is about 2" thick and soft. Might help you giving you some cushion if your mattress is very firm. It is not helping me however. My mattress is begining to sag in the middle, so adding a soft layer on top is not the best idea I have ever had! Good luck!

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.

I use a regular mattress pad over the topper. It doesn't affect the comfort of the memory foam. This topper helped my back. Very pleased with it.

I guess it all depends on your mattress. Our mattress has a cotton blend material on top so Yes...I'm sure this helps the protector to be more breathable & much cooler for us (no more mattress hot spots)However, Not sure how it works with memory foam mattresses, I know that they can get quite hot during sleep which is why we steered away from those (been there done that). We are Very Happy with this product & believe its worth a try! Getting our Zzzzzzzz's

I have put a memory foam top for a queen sized bed on mine for when people sleep over. It is only about 3" thick, but you cannot fold it when the additional foam is on top, but makes it a much better bed. The trifold is quite stiff, and I think if you were to put it on top of a memory foam mattress it would eliminate any benifit of the memory foam, but you could tilt it up for an elevated reading position. Hope this helps.

I have mine on a mattress,. It is not terribly thick but does provide softness to my mattress. Perhaps you would be better off with a thicker down topper. But this one is very soft and comfy.
