Does the memory foam tend to make you hotter? I know our toppers do, and trying to decide about this one for our camper.

The memory foam hasn't felt hot to us (we have one on our regular mattress at home). Also, my in-laws had one in their RV, and we were stunned at how comfortable that RV bed was.... this was before we knew that memory foam came in mattress-toppers also. We never felt stifled or hot in either case.

Not in my environment. Where I live the nightly temp in the summer is in the low to mid 50's so I do not experience this topper as hot.

I too have a memory foam mattress. It's very lightweight and so far I haven't had difficulties with it making the bed too hot.

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.

Yes, it was hotter to sleep on the first 3 or 4 weeks but after that the memory foam cells opened up and it felt cooler after that. I did sink into a little bit and I think that had something to do with it too.

The gel is just some little blue beads scattered throughout the foam. I don't think it makes much difference one way or the other. This is our first mattress topper, so I don't really know if non-gel would be warmer.

In my view, the mattress topper provides a cooler layer of separation between your body and the memory foam. That's really the reason behind the topper. I would keep it simple, but not too cheap. I can't recall which one I bought because I had it for a few years before I came across this mattress. You want it to be of decent quality so that it fits securely over the mattress. The memory foam delivers the comfort, the mattress pad keeps you cooler.

I found that it does stay cool compared to the previous memory foam toppers that I have owned.

It might depend on you. I have found the memory foam keeps me too warm at times, and I think I might have an issue having the heated pan on very long.. I also have been unable to control the heat so must leave it on the lowest setting, and it is almost too hot...

I do not have the Cool Shield mattress protector on a memory foam mattress so my answer may not help you much. My husband says it makes a positive difference in the way of coolness comfort. We both like it. It feels so nice to the touch.

No, not to me! Down toppers are way less hot than memory foam toppers which really can hold the heat. I agree with the other responder that it may be somewhat related to the climate you live in as well, but in most areas feather toppers should be fine.

I guess it all depends on your mattress. Our mattress has a cotton blend material on top so Yes...I'm sure this helps the protector to be more breathable & much cooler for us (no more mattress hot spots)However, Not sure how it works with memory foam mattresses, I know that they can get quite hot during sleep which is why we steered away from those (been there done that). We are Very Happy with this product & believe its worth a try! Getting our Zzzzzzzz's

I have not noticed a difference in the temperature. On another note, the foam topper only provides temporary comfort. It does not last long.

I agree with you about the memory foam mattress. After trying several mattress cover's, BINGO! This one works. It is very thin, and you will be amazed how well it keeps you cool. It also is guaranteed for 10 years! WOW!!!!!!I am so Happy I tried this product. It is Fantastic. I also purchased the pillow protectors, and they work very well. Please give them a try. If by any chance they are not for you you can return them. I bet you won't. Joannie :) Let me know what you think after trying this wonderful product. :)

I find that the Iso-Cool memory foam is tons better than an 'ordinary' memory foam topper! The Iso-Cool does not retain a substantial amount of heat where I'm laying, as my regular memory did. Since sleeping on the Iso-Cool, the night time menopausal symptoms I used to experience (hot flashes; sweating; throwing off covers 3-4 times every night) have diminished and I get a more restful sleep.
