I read that latex does not heat up and sleep hot. True? I'm looking to put on top of my memory foam mattress to "cool" it down.

Hi Todd,Thank you for your inquiry. Latex provides a cooler feel than memory foam. Adding a latex topper should do the trick. However, I cannot guarantee it. If you have more questions, call our sales department and they will be happy to assist you.Judy MorelliCustomer service Manager 888-758-7423

True. 100% natural latex does not retain body heat like traditional memory foam. Also, Plushbeds 100% natural talalay latex toppers are healthy by design. Air is infused into the latex compound to create latex foam's open cell structure that provides a cooler sleep surface.

No, it is terribly flat and molds to your head. Advice; do not buy a memory foam pillow. Latex is MUCH better.

Michele - i live in Honolulu - 80 degrees F most days. at night, goes down to '70'sF. it's fairly warm.i use the foam pad under my mattress pad and sheet - it is comfortable, doesn't make me feel hot. i got it because i'd broken my shoulder and was in severe pain for months - the pad, plus a "body pillow" helped a lot. it seesm like good "memory foam - hasn't flattened out at all. i hope this is helpful to you. i have it on a "queen-size" bed (actually a futon mattress on a box spring). aloha from honolulu!! - john

I have on top of a foam topper. The foam was reflecting my body heat, after putting on the mattress pad I felt much better. Remember that the pad is wool covered by cotton sheeting.

It does make it warmer but not hot like the memory foam. I enjoy cool sleeping temps and I have no problem with this item.

I sleep hot, very hot, so I've tried every pad imaginable from silk, linen, 100% cotton etc. My favorites for the least amount of heat: silk (super expensive, short lived and dry clean), and the bamboo listed here. This pad has a good loft for air flow but is filled with poly so there is some heat retention however the bamboo seems to disperses it so no ultra hot spots to bake in. I also use 100% bamboo sheets or 100% cotton percale sheets and I have a bamboo topped latex mattress, not heat producing memory foam. I've done everything I could think of to prevent breaching like a dolphin all night and so far I am happy with the results of this pad. I hope it works as well for you.

Gel foam is more firm (less sinky) and supposedly cooler sleeping. I dont think you want this mattress less sinky, because it already does not sink link a tempurpedic. I never noticed any heat build up in the foam, but i have a mattress pad on it. So that is about it, except the obvious answer, which is....$100.00

Memory foam and real latex foam are 2 different products. Each one has very different qualities. I will only purchase real latex mattress toppers for myself. Latex can be ordered in soft, medium and firm densities. Latex stays cool, it does not capture heat like memory foam does. I can make no recommendations for memory foam.

Not sure. I actually happen to have a latex allergy, but only get blisters or a rash when latex is touching my skin. This mattress has a cover and out of the 5ish times I slept on it I had no issues.

I think this depends on your mattress. I have a pillow top that is designed to dissipate heat. The fabric used in the top does not retain heat, and there are air holes through out the pillow top. Therefore, this mattress cover made my bed very warm because it blocked all of the air holes and covered the fibers in the mattress that allowed heat to dissipate. I was too warm with it and returned it.

Let it air out for a day maybe 2 so it can inflate. I put mine right under my bed sheet, so yes put it on top of your mattress cover. Hope it works for you as good as it works for me. Very important to let it air out though.

I have it on top of what is called plush on my new mattress. I can't say I notice anything that effects the plush part of the mattress. I sleep on a memory foam when I visit my daughter and I think it would help to have this on top. But I don't know for sure.

There seems to be a top layer of latex, resting on a bottom layer of memory foam. I have only slept on it a few times, and I have a nice memory foam topper on top of it for now because I'm pregnant and sleep on my side and there's nowhere else to store the topper. However, before I put the topper on it I tried it out while awake. The feel is firm, but not hard. You don't sink in like you would with a memory foam mattress. However, you also don't get the feeling of something pushing back into you and digging in, like you might with an inner coil mattress. Some dense foam mattresses have felt "hard" to me. This one just feels firm and supportive-- not plush. It is almost like what you would expect an air mattress to be if the air mattress were impossibly perfectly super-full and taut-- but it has a little more give or "sink" than that. Also, I am told that in several weeks it will soften just a bit, then stay that way, and it will feel less firm than synthetic latex (it is natural latex). As a final note, I have noticed that people really vary in their perception of what is "firm" versus "soft." I would call this definitely firm, but far from extreme.

I also have had problems with hot flashes although at this point I'm mostly finished with that stage. I am sensitive to overheating, can't wear acrylic for that reason. I have had no problems with my latex mat and would in fact consider a latex mattress when I next buy a new mattress even though I would still hesitate to buy a memory foam one. Hope this helps, the pad has made my too firm mattress much more comfortable.

Most adjustable bed company recommends a all foam mattress weather it be memory foam,gel,Or latex. If i had to rank them it would be latex #1, gel #2, and memory foam #3

I do not have a memory foam mattress, but I do not find this to be hot at all. And that's saying something since with my hot flashes and night sweats, I'm tossing off the sheet and blanket most of the night. I believe bc this is cotton, it breathes and wicks away moisture. My body pillow does retain heat, but I haven't noticed it with this mattress pad. Best pad I've EVER had.

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure it's all natural. The only way to really know is cut the mattress and test it in lab. However, it had zero off gassing and my bed buddy is allergic to synthetic latex(no problems as yet). Great mattress and I'm happy with it. It's thinner than the super expensive latex or regular coil comp but it works perfect for us. I have it on a platform bed.
