This doesn't appear to have any cool gel mixed in. Do people feel it's trapping heat in or is there a model that has the cool gel?

It doesn't have the gel. The charcoal blend does the same thing. It doesn't get hot or at least we haven't had a problem with it. My fiancé is always burning up in his sleep but it hasn't been an issue with the new bed. I don't think lucid makes gel blends. I could be wrong though. But our charcoal blend stays cool.

I don't think it overly traps heat, I don't think it has a cool gel. In the summer will be the true test

This mattress has less body heat retention than our old Serta spring mattress. I'm usually very leery about recommending a product. This mattress is an exceptionally good product.

I've noticed recently that mine's been getting kinda hot... It could be all in my head though.

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!

There is a little metal piece inside the warmer. You simply bend the metal piece until you hear a click. When the gel has been activated by the click, you will see yhe gel change to a more solid like substance and it will begin to warm

All I can tell you is that it contains a gel substance that gets cool when you lay or press down on it. My dog has one for daytime (on her dog bed) and one for nighttime (on my bed). The older one doesn't seem to cool down as fast as the new one however it still works and the older one is over a year old.

Sorry, I've never had or used other gel pads, so I'm not qualified to answer! Ours seem to stay cool, though.

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.

Nothing to worry about. Its not actually a gooey gel, its a gel infused memory foam. I'm not a scientist but my understanding is the gel is mixed with the foam when its made (I assume) and the final product is a foam with cooling properties that the gel brings to it. BOTTOM LINE NO GOO, NO MESS, NO LEAK.

No it does not. It did not cool my legs either. It is nice but not worth the extra money for cooling.

It's at room temp, which feels cool next to an almost 100 degree body. I use mine myself, btw. It stops feeling cool after about an hour.

This is not overly warm and I have had no experience with the ipedic 3" gel

David - the mattress does not have cool gel in it as far as I know. However, my wife and I sleep cool on it.

i have not tried it, even though it says so. Also the product retains only 1/5th of the heat . If some one can buy from me i will sell it. Not really impressed with the product

No I have not noticed it trapping heat. I am extremely happy with it and it takes a beating at work.

It has something to do with Hydraluxe gel technology which is a special gel that is layered into the pillow. Sellers indicate that "independent testing show the gel layer to be 15 degrees cooler to touch and stays cooler up to six times longer than traditional memory foam." None of the selling sites that I checked gave specifics as to what the components/ingredients are in the special cooling gel. However, my grandson sleeps very hot and assured me that the pillow really works.

None...no real heat produced...you have to keep adding warm water to it....cools off right away

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.

There is no gel pack. The thermophere pulls moisture out of the air thereby providing the wet heat.

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.
