Re. the AIR FLOW, is there any heat build up with this at all, or is it really like just having an extra sheet? Thanks!

There was no obvious heat buildup as opposed to other mattress protectors, and you can sleep directly on it if terry cloth isn't uncomfortable for you...but please know it does not last very long if you have a child who wets the bed. My mattress is RUINED because this thing only lasts a few washes.

It is lightweight and I've never had moisture underneath due to condensation. It's a really nice product. There is a thin mesh for the fitted part which helps with air flow. The top is soft and even the waterproof backing is lightweight.

We have never felt any heat built up. The cover is on a foam Serta icomfort mattress, and we, too, had the same concern. There is a texture to the material, but under the sheets, it isn't noticeable, and is probably beneficial. We are completely unaware of having a cover. Having used traditional mattresses (including pillow top style) and ultra thick plush covers, we have found our current bedding to be superior. Good luck if you select this item - it has been just fine for us.

We have noticed no difference in having the cover. There is absolutely no heat build up that we are aware of. We find it to be just what we were looking for using it on our Tempurpedic mattress.

we live in hot reno nv and this sleeps most comfortably. I have purchased 2 and they seem to work very well.

I've had mine for about 6 months. The 2 fans blow directly up onto laptop and you can feel, depending on speed, the air dispersed to sides. Blue lights are quite bright. The remind me of the underlights on cars these days. ; p I keep mine on low speed and adjust the height/ angle on the very 1st "rung". I don't game but I do turn it up when grandchildren come over and use it. I have a Presario notebook. It does get very warm which is why I purchased this. If it did breakdown I would get another just like it in a flat second. Cleaning?. I havent tried to take it apart. I blow it out while running on low with canned air. Hope this helps.

Not a crazy amount but it definitely gives off some heat. However, i keep mine in a small closet that's usually closed off, so that could be why I feel the warmth. Could be that in a bigger room it would be less if not totally unnoticeable.

Mine pull the heat *out* and it works great. Dramatic difference compared to no fans.

Yes, I did and found it a marginal product, however, I live in south Texas and it gets SUPER hot here and I think I decided on a combination of some kind of regular frozen pad and a fan. Maybe the product would be ok where you live. It just did not feel cool enough to make a difference. Good luck.

I do get hot some at night now but have started using a fan. We have the king size it has held up well and we both are large...over 250 lbs. No indentions. It is heavy so be sure you have sturdy frame. I definitely do reccomend.

I've had mine for about a year and it does not create additional heat in the room. It does a great job of cleaning the air. I live in California with lots of dust and pollen and it does a great job keeping the air clean so I don't sneeze all of the time.

You will need a place to exhaust the air that is used to cool the compressor. Oh, and this is IMPORTANT!!!!! When I got the unit set up and running in the bedroom I found that the unit was fighting itself on cooling because the exhaust hose used to cool the compressor etc. was hotter than heck. I talked to the Sylvane people and they said that was normal. What???? So, I have an AC working at the top and a room heater working in the back thru the exhaust hose, pretty much greatly reducing the cooling efficiency. I ended up buying a roll of 1/4 inch thick air cell insulation with the silver mylar face, front and back, and using ac/heating duct aluminum duct tape and wrapping strips around the exhaust hose triple thickness until I couldn't feel any difference between room temperature and the surface of the hose. I would think they would provide an insulated exhaust hose.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

It's only a fan, not a thermal heater as the title implies, so it's moving the air around it, whatever the ambient temperature is... In the summer the air felt luke warm, in the winter the air feels cooler than ambient temp. If you are drying a mani & pedi, it feels a bit warmer in the later cycles. I usually use 3 cycles for smudge-proof drying.

NO! not at all, that's one of the key characteristics I love about it. I've always had heat issues with mattress pads, foam, etc. I will definitely buy this again when my current one needs replacing.

Not at all, it's heat is released from the bottom if I remember correctly. It is like wearing a regular backpack, so it's right up against you when you put it on, but I've used it for over an hour at a time and never felt like it was creating heat.

I've never had any problems with my computer overheating. The bottom of my computer has a lift to it on the bottom of one side. So that keeps it from laying flat & allows for ventilation anyway. Not sure if that helps any.

It's pretty well ventilated. I used it on the beach in Florida in August and it was a heck of a lot cooler inside the tent than laying directly in the sun. I mean, it doesn't feel like you've got A/C pumping through it but the ventilation gives you a nice breeze.

It adjust to a very light air flow or you can turn it up and feels like a fan under the sheet it goes between the fitted sheet and top sheet. Hope this helps!

No, it was very comfortable. Good air flow. I was, however, using it in cold temps. But I'd have noticed if it felt "hot" because I like to sleep very cool.

I have the organic and it isn't hot at all. I have seen the airflow and it is mostly a mesh material. If you live in a hot climate, that might work better for you. I am in CO and we have had a hot summer and the organic has been fine for us.
