I have heard that some mattress toppers hold in a lot of heat, so Iam wondering if this product gets too hot in the summertime? I tend to sweat alot in the night, and am looking for bed products that breathe and would not make me sweat so bad. ~Thanks!

I live in the desert south of Las Vegas and I haven't experienced that problem. My wife has a high metabolism and often has to kick off the covers but she hasn't had a problem either. We love this mattress pad, and would buy another.

This is my son's mattress. He is an athlete and is a big muscular guy. He loves the support and never complains about being too hot or uncomfortable on it.....with that being said, we do run an air conditioner in his upstairs bedroom during the summer because it is just plain hot, so that may help by keeping the ambient temperature in his room not too hot to begin with. Hope that 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 in my bedroom. We do use an airconditioner this time of year, but I guess a foam mattress topper might get a bit hot if you don't have air conditioning in your home.

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

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

In our case, YES, this did help! We recently purchased a Beautyrest Recharge Ultra King mattress. Not only was it too firm, but it was HOT. This topper is awesome. I love it! Would love to hear your opinion if you decide to purchase.

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

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.

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 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 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 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.

I think all memory foam holds your body heat to some extent. I sewed some pillow cases for mine so with the extra layer between me and the pillow I haven't noticed it being hot. Although it has been fairly cold here yet, so I guess we'll find out soon enough!

My brother-in-law did not complain about getting sweaty. These mattresses have a padded/zippered cover over them so you are not sleeping directly on the foam. Another reviewer had mentioned that they did not experience overheating on these like they did on other memory foam mattresses. Hope that helps.

We used ours in our RV last summer when it was 104 during the day, and the AC was working extra hard. There were no problems with the mattress holding in the heat. This is our 3rd memory foam mattress, and we have never had a problem with the heat. They are just very comfortable!

I haven't found this topper to hold the heat, its a very comfortable sleep. Since getting the mattress topper, I no longer wake up with my hips and lower back aching. I would absolutely recommend this to everyone.
