OK. I read the answer by B. Harvey about the gel mattress pad on top of a memory foam bed. Does it really lose it's coolness?

It will warm up where your body makes contact, after awhile. My wives just moves to a different area on it.
332635
Yes. I bought this for my wife during her pregnancy, and she would agree with that assessment. It is certainly cool at the beginning of the night, but it is no longer cool to the touch by 3 to 4 hours later.

Yes the chillgel pad does lose its coolness on memory foam beds. I get hot flashes & find that it doesn't stay cool much longer after one whether it's on the bed or not.
332637
I keep it in my fridge. When I use it I put it under a light comforter, otherwise it's too cold to come in direct contact with my body. It stays cool enough for an hour or two, depending on how hot my body is. I have Erythromelalgia and sometimes my body is extremely hot in the evenings.

We do not have memory foam, but yes, the gel pad does lose it's coolness after a few hours. But it still provides hours of cool sleep! I bought this for my husband and he loves it! There have been a few nights where he wakes around 4am to remove it (because it got warm). But he still loves it and recommended it to multiple people! I hope this helps!

Yes it does. It starts out as almost to cold. It stays cool for about 3 to 4 hours then it seems to be hotter than the memory foam because it is storing all that heat. You have to take it off then and let it cool. Not the most conducive to a good nights sleep!

Our mattress pad seems to stay cool, it does not add heat like some mattresses add heat. Even my husband was impressed with the cooler temperature difference and he definitely doubted it would produce results for a better sleeping experience.

I use it on my memory foam mattress that also has a 3" cool gel layer and it works perfectly. I live in S.Florida so cool sleeping was my first priority....it works exactly as advertised! ...ENJOY!

Personally, I think it's a nice cushion. I would say it's a little softer than memory foam. The gel is there to keep it more cooler than regular memory foam since that sometimes tends to soak in the heat and sweat. I absolutely love this purchase.

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

This topper is really thick and high fluffy so you are at least a couple inches removed from the mattress. So yes I think it should keep you a bit cooler and for sure comfy. Thanks for the heads up about those memory foam mattresses. It is exactly why we never bought one.

I have had this for over ten months (through the hot summer months) and have had no issues with heat over a memory foam mattress. I didn't get sweaty, so I can't answer for someone who has night sweats.

I did not find that it helped much with night sweats. I have a cool gel pillow that is cooler but doesn't stay cool for the entire night.

I have not found this mattress to be hot. That was always a worry I had too. I already had a topper with the "cooling" technology and I have put that on top of this mattress. I am also in the age group where I tend to pull the sheet off and back on a few times in the night even with my topper. I got something called a Chillow a few years ago and if I feel a warm trend starting I put my arm or leg on it and it truly does cool you down.

I have a pillow top mattress, not a foam mattress. I have not had any change in perspiring due to the Cool Shield. I find it to be the same as my old cotton/polyester blend old fashioned quilted mattress pad.

I think cooler than just the mattress or a regular pad, but I can't say as it actually "cools" you.

No, it doesn't change the feel of my memory foam mattress. It's just like having a sheet over the mattress. The only drawback is that it makes a slight crinkly noise when you move around.

The gel memory foam is cooler because the gel that is infused in the mattress lets it breathe more than the deluxe memory foam. I bought this mattress for my Mom who is 81 years old and bedridden. This mattress is amazing and very comfortable.

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 don't know about cool gel. But I have not felt hot at all with this mattress! It has been amazing! My husband also says he has no issues about being too hot!

I do not think so. I tried it on a regular spring coil mattress and it behaved like a gel eye mask. It stayed cool for approximately an hour and it was very pleasant during that time, but eventually it started accumulating heat and radiating it back. By the way, my condolences on owning a memory foam bed - those things are impossible to sleep on because of overheating. Nothing beats regular mattress. I only tried this cooling pad because my bedroom gets hot during summer, but it turned out my bed actually felt cooler without cooling pads on it.
