Is this topper warm vs the ipedic 3" gel one & can you tell me what the difference is

The DreamFoam 3inch memory foam is very nice. It is warm, but not overly warm.I do not know the difference between gel and memory foam.

I haven't tried the gel, but I like to be warm at night so that doesn't bother me. This topper is extremely comfortable, that's the main thing.

Janelle, I am sorry, but I have never used the ipedic 3" gel one, so I can't comment in terms of comparison. I will say that the foam is very dense and quite mushy. We have had it for about 8 months now, and it has held up well, although it could potentially tear if you don't treat it with a decent amount of care. We have been quite happy with it.

I don't have the ipedic3 gel but this does "sleep warm." We use multiple cotton sheets in the summer and this helps quite a bit. We have two of these and do not regret the purchase.

This is not overly warm and I have had no experience with the ipedic 3" gel

I haven't used the 3" gel topper, the one I have I've only owned during the wintertime, and it is quite comfortable. I'll learn whether it's too hot or not when summer heats up.

The main difference is that the gel swirl has temperature control so it doesn't get hot in the summer. You can call Sleep Innovations directly for your firmness question. I know they are both about the same firmness. The Sure Temp ships faster. (I'm waiting for my Gel Swirl)

This one does not come with a cover but there is another one with the gel foam which is softer in feel that comes with a plush cover. You can purchase any mattress cover and it will cover this and your entire mattress. This is a great topper but if you want a softer feel go with the sleep innovations with the gel and mattress topper combination.

This does seem to be cooler than the one I used previously. I had been going thru serious hot flashes when I ordered this topper. I really seemed to help and certainly did not add any unwanted heat!

It is just a 2" memory gel foam period...and although it is comfortable...it can get a little warm. Hope this helps.

I don't have a temperpedic,I believe it's a Simmons pillow top. I added this and am very very pleased!!! It feels like a cloud. I would highly recommend letting it air out (approximately 1 day) as it has a minty smell. It does dissipate.

It is completely different. This is just a cotton fill as the Tempurpedic is a memory foam. The memory foam will last a LOT longer and is more firm. This is just a cheap cotton fill roll. Flattens out relatively quickly, but at 14$ for two is much cheaper. Also the Tempurpedic pillows are pretty heavy so if you're thinking of this for travel etc, this light weight might work better, you can squish it to fit in a suitcase.

Yes, I do think you get warmer. I see they now have foam mattresses that have cool gel in then too. May be better for you.

The gel is supposedly cool,or starts that way cold and very firm then quite quickly warms and get soft . hope that helps

Hi, Linda - this is a very thick - really - 3" - heavy larger than you might imagine topper. I bought a 1/2" thick organic mattress pad from Amazon. You might also get an organic mattress cover. The company recommends turning it, if I recall, once a month, and to air it in the sun. I did find, after a bit of sleeping on it, that the back problem I have did not go away. It is so unbelievably luxurious to snuggle into, one feels really spoiled. Am deciding what to do with mine. To answer your question - I would not. The wool is loose, sewn in with a few strategically placed stitches in about 9 places, I am guessing. To wash it would wreck it.

It says 'cooling' because it is not as hot as the older memory foam toppers were. Lots of people complained about the heat retention because it is a closed cell foam. The manufacturers started adding holes in the material, then designing cooling systems to remove some of the heat. So this isn't designed to cool you, it's designed to release some of the heat (ie, cool) retained in the closed cell structure of the foam.

They do make one with gel. In fact, that's what I thought I was ordering but got this one. I don't know what keeps the heat away. I can't stand to be hot while sleeping or wake up in a sweat, and so far I haven't with this one - 4 days, mind you. I did order the gel one but haven't put it on yet. I'll do that in a few days. This one is very comfortable, no motion, not flimsy like some other reviewer keeps saying. Maybe he got something else, sounds like he bought from another vendor so no telling what he ended up with.

I haven't noticed sleeping warmer. It might be because of the cover. I have a pinched nerve in my back and I think it helps that a lot. I actually hate getting out of bed in the mornings.

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.

It's not...I honestly did not notice a difference in the two. I saw an iComfort at a local mattress store, and while the covering is different, the two feel the same to me.

I absolutely love mine. In my opinion it's more cotton-like and warm. Although not over warm. I've used this on cooler summer nights and am certain it will keep me warm on cold winter nights. Hope this helps.

The one that I ordered, the large, I had to fill with water. The dog wasn't loving the feeling of it. I wanted a gel, too. Check out dogbed4less (no error) their 4 inch memory foam are the best with the brown faux suede cover. Love them. If you find a good gel bed, let me know please, too! Take care! Jane
