does this help regulate sleeping temperature....keep you cool(er than without it)? I have a memory foam mattress that runs a little hot.

Yes I feel that is does keep you cooler. It is also very easy to take off and on for cleaning.

I have a memory foam mattress and it didn't work for me. I don't need a wetness shield. I needed something to keep me cool. It didn't help. Hope this helps

Hello, I have to be honest and say I am not sure the mattress topper will cool down a memory foam mattress but I can tell you that the mattress topper is very thick and perhaps in conjunction with a mattress pad, it may be suitable for your needs. A bamboo mattress pad or the bamboo version of the mattress topper may work for you as I understand them to be cooler than other fabrics. I have three layers over mine - an thick Egyptian cotton mattress pad, a bamboo mattress pad, and then the mattress topper. I hope this was helpful and I hope you find the right solution for your situation. :)

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

The blue side is supposed to be down. That's how I used it. It's not actually going to cool you off or keep you cool; it seems to just prevent you from laying in a spot that warms excessively from your own body heat to prevent, or at least curb, the possibility of sweating. It seemed to work that way for me at least. I did not put another mattress cover over it however. That might make a difference if you did that. I just put the sheet over it that I laid on. I would contact the manufacturer for more specifics on this if you have more questions.

I don't want to say this pillow keeps me cool but I haven't woken with a damp pillow from sweating and I do live in Florida. You can feel the pieces inside the pillow which would seem to allow air to flow and the manufacturer says the bamboo helps with cooling. So it all appears to be working as stated. I hope that helps. On a side note a friend recently bought a new foam mattress with pillows and she loves my pillows a lot more than the ones she received with her new bed.

Yes, it got super hot. I sleep not, so maybe the other posters sleep cool. Also several said they like it because it reduces their aches and pains--translation sleeps hot, but they like it, as it soothes the muscles. Don't get me wrong it's a great pad, BUT if you sleep hot, or in a hot climate, this thing WILL make you sweat.

It does make it warmer but not hot like the memory foam. I enjoy cool sleeping temps and I have no problem with this item.

I had the same question. If you go to SleepShop's page here on amazon- there is a frequently asked question section. It is pretty helpful: 1. for your question about AirFlow and 2. for the needed platform/based for the foam mattress. The airflow mattress, which is $20 more, apparently is better for "hot" sleepers. So, if your body tempature rises (like my lady's) the air flow mattress reacts and keeps them cooler (?) I am not quite sure...but give that FAQ section a look. I am just sitting here wondering if this is too good to be true. But, I think I will buy it.

My mattress that I bought this for is a memory foam, and it does not make me hot. So I would recommend it.

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 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.

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 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.

We have 2 of these mattresses. And no they do not have cooling effect. But we do have one that does. Search amazon for cool memory foam mattress.

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!

Truthfully I haven't noticed any increase in temperature. I use the Sleep Tite over the mattress and then put a fitted sheet on over that. If you are concerned that it might make you hot like a plastic liner or cover would, I've not found that to be the case. I enjoy it and it certainly protects the mattress very well. Hope that helps!
