Can this mattress protector keep you cooler when laying on a tempur pedic mattress?

I have not slept on it myself, but have made the bed. I was amazed by how soft the terry cloth is and had to turn it over to convince myself that the backing is indeed protecive. My son, in his 20's, weighs 400lb, who has a problem, complains very quickly if he feels at all warmand has a fanrunning 24/7. To date he has been making his own bed; the previous sheets had a plastic sheet backing, and he would strip the bed or sneak to the spare room. I am genuinely impressed. Hubby just tells me that he slept well when he slept on this sheet. I now have one over the spare room bed too.

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.

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

If it's the thickness of a regular queen-size mattress, yes. I have a queen-size mattress with a TempurPedic topper. There's enough of the stretchy sides left over that I tuck it beneath. Every once in a while I find I have to reposition the terry cloth part squarely on the mattress, but it's no big deal.A couple of weeks ago, I had a major spill and it blocked all of it. Just washed the cover in cold water on gentle, and hung it inside my home to dry. Works great.

We have a 4 inch gel memory foam topper on our bed with the protector and it is fine. Do not notice any heat issues at all.

Hello there! I was expecting this mattress topper to make me quite a bit hotter but I really haven't noticed a difference. If anything, it will only make a slight difference on the warmer side. The mattress topper comes with some small pencil sized holes so I think that helps keep it cooler.

I always use a mattress protector for my bed, so I may be a little biased. It works well. I dropped a pen in my bed the other day. I have also read comments about people concerned about sweating on the memory foam.

I did make a cover for the mat but it was not very heavy. Depending on the thickness of the mattress cover, it would still cool. The reason I covered the mat was because it was very slick.

I didn't cover my mattress instead I bought Organic Wool Topper, It works both ways keeps you cool in the summer & warm in the winter.

I do not have the Cool Shield mattress protector on a memory foam mattress so my answer may not help you much. My husband says it makes a positive difference in the way of coolness comfort. We both like it. It feels so nice to the touch.

I do not think so. I tried it on a regular spring coil mattress and it behaved like a gel eye mask. It stayed cool for approximately an hour and it was very pleasant during that time, but eventually it started accumulating heat and radiating it back. By the way, my condolences on owning a memory foam bed - those things are impossible to sleep on because of overheating. Nothing beats regular mattress. I only tried this cooling pad because my bedroom gets hot during summer, but it turned out my bed actually felt cooler without cooling pads on it.

I guess it depends on the 'depth' of your mattress as to where the connecter lays. I scoot my down as far as I can as to not feel it, I also am not as concerned w/ heat by my head/shoulders as I am my Feet! Good Luck.

I can't say that it actually makes you cooler, but it definitely counteracts the heating effect of the top layer of our mattress. It's more like it makes you feel comfortably neutral, if that makes sense.

I don't know if it keeps me cooler, but it certainly doesn't make me warm like some other mattress pads I've tried.

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 found this cover to be cooler than others that I have tried. There seems to be a bit more air circulation. Not a dramatic difference but enough for me. I would definitely put a waterproof cover between this and the mattress. Sweat filters down through the cover and has caused my foam mattress topper to get moldy. This is not unique to this cover. I have found that all covers have the same problem. You will need to provide a way for the area to air out and get dry in order to combat this. An absorbent layer (towel) on top of your mattress that is changed frequently may help.
