Does it matter what side is up on this topper? I slept on it for the first time last night with the blue side down and I was still very hot.

The blue side is supposed to be down. That's how I used it. It's not actually going to cool you off or keep you cool; it seems to just prevent you from laying in a spot that warms excessively from your own body heat to prevent, or at least curb, the possibility of sweating. It seemed to work that way for me at least. I did not put another mattress cover over it however. That might make a difference if you did that. I just put the sheet over it that I laid on. I would contact the manufacturer for more specifics on this if you have more questions.

I bought a twin blanket for my sister, she has a queen bed, it fits from edge to edge with no hangover, she has to keep it on low, she says it's the hottest blanket she has ever owned&gt; Hope this helps!

No. It doesn't feel hot. It is so comfortable I haven't even flipped it to find the "cool" side. I've never had a better pillow.

Not in my environment. Where I live the nightly temp in the summer is in the low to mid 50's so I do not experience this topper as hot.

I've never slept on any other memory foam so I have nothing to compare it to. But it does seem cooler than my bed was before the topper. Hope that helps!

I have been using this pillow for a while now, and I haven't noticed any odor or any heat. I love it! I actually use both sides, depending on my mood that night!

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.

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

Hi, no the topper isn't hot at night (no sweats : D ) but it isn't icy. If you're looking for extra comfort like a feather bed for aching joints then this is for you. I have two Honeywell Quiet Set Tower fans in my bedroom and they are perfect for reducing the room temperature. Good luck.

I find it cooler than my regular mattress before I had this topper but I am not sure---

I had a comforter before and it killed me. Seriously. A lot of reviewers for this said it was too thin. In my opinion it's not too thin or not to thick. I sleep with this comforter and satin sheets and I don't get hot. However, I absolutely have to sleep under a fan and that changes the equation. I love it, some hate it. Wish I had a better answer for you. If your generally a very picky person you may not. I got it because of colors and I'm perfectly happy

The whole topper is memory foam, I don't think it makes any difference which side is up.

I also have a memory foam on top and I do not have an issue with it feeling too hot and I over heat pretty easy. I do have sheets that don't keep heat and I run a fan on me at all times when I'm sleeping.

I am a side sleeper too. I think it is denser than memory foam for example and instead of sinking into the topper it seems to give you support. It works very well for me. Also it doesn't have any toxic fumes. I think it is a Wonderful topper!

Does this sleep hot in summer? I had a down alternative comforter that was way too hot. Thanks.

It doesn't get hot for me. Thanks to some crazy 40 hormones, I can get pretty hot, but this pillow has never contributed to that. ;)

Hi Mark,I think your bed is probably working correctly. I also wondered at first why it didn't feel warmer on top, but I came to realize that when the cat is in the bed it's body traps the heat. I think if it were any warmer it might be too hot. It is just right for my old kitty.Good Luck,Sarah Sirchuk
