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.

No - I use it on an air mattress though because sometimes the air circulating in the mattress is cold. It works great for that!

This is much cooler than sleeping on my Tempurpedic mattress. The natural fiber lets you skin breathe.

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.

From my experience it will give you warmth, so I don't see it cooling down a foam mattress

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.

yes you stay cool....its an awesome mattress...firm... but awesome...I have a memory foam topper on mine and it helps...and I get a little warm from that.....but yes you stay cool..

I find it to be slightly warmer than without it, but less than some other mattress protectors. It's really not too bad and it's very comfortable.

No, the Dri-Tec matress pad does not have a heat effect. We have this matress protector on both a king and a queen bed and are very happy with it -- one of the nicer matress covers we've ever had. I would definitely purchase this item again.

Elvin, I use it on memory foam that has holes for air circulation, so it's supposed to stay cool. The mattress is okay on its own, and better yet with topper, but the difference is not that great. Couldn't say how it would perform on Tempurpedic. I think in general these memory foam toppers are designed for use on regular mattresses, not mattresses that are already foam. Also, it's thicker than you think: your bed will be a lot higher and you have to make sure your fitted sheet can cover it. Wish I could be more specific on Tempurpedic. My best guess is that it will help, but I can't honestly say how much. Good luck!

I just looked at mine and it appears to be some kind of stretchy mesh on the four sides but it sure feels like plastic where it goes on the mattress. I'm not sure I detected any terry cloth but I could be wrong. To sum up, I'm kind of ambivalent about this cover. It seems like it would protect the Tempur-Pedic mattress below but it can feel "plasticky" under you and it does slide around on the mattress. Hope this helps.

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.

No, not particularly firm. It is NOT like TempurPedic...that is, you almost feel like you are enveloped in it.

Larry, I bought this to replace the mattress in my camper and have been absolutely pleased with it. I have a very $$ tempur pedic in the house that I do not sleep as well on. Hope this answers your question. I believe the thicker the mattress the more comfortable you will be.

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.

This topper is designed to drastically reduce the temperature of the mattress. It prevents heat from be retained in the mattress all night, but it does not necessarily prevent hot flashes.

It DOES stay cooler than my last memory foam mattress. However it is nowhere near as firm. Tradeoff, I guess.
