Is it a cashmere cover (as per the title), or a bamboo cover (as per the picture)? And if it's cashmere, does that mean it's a hotter sleep?

the lower 8 inches and the top 4 inches are cashmere on the side, the top is bamboo. I have it covered in a microplush mattress pad/sheet which makes it warmer. seems like it might be cooler without it but i never tried so i wouldnt know. but i do know however that there are other mattresses from lucid that have a cooling gel layer on the top if you are looking for a cooler mattress.

It is cashmere and my husband says it is a warmer sleep. I still use an electric blanket because I like a HOT sleep myself.

It is a cashmere cover but it is not hot. I am a hot natured person and I find the bed very pleasant to sleep on. My find and I still can't believe we got such a great bed for the price. You will enjoy sleeping on this bed.

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.

My daughter is sleeping with this specific cover. I sleep with a very similar one. No neither of us sweat on it.

It must be very Breathable, as I am sensitive to anything that heats me up while sleeping, I sleep best on cool cotton sheets, and I find the Mattress Cover to fit well and not cause one to be hot and sweaty......

The cover zips close and it fits perfectly. My son and I put bamboo cover on and it works great. It is very well made and we sleep so much better on it than without it. We even used the Memory Foam (Queen size) as a bed by itself for several weekends we were out of town working on a rental house and we slept on this foam bed.

It's not a pillow cover; it's a pillow protector. You still put a pillow cover over it (at least I do) so you might feel a slight difference from the terrycloth type outer layer, but to me it's worth it to protect my $100 down pillows. I've ruined several over the years with sweat and body oil stains, and I'm hoping this fixes the issue.

Believe me!! It is a winter warm comforter. You could not have it on your bed in the summer.I love it. When I climb in bed it takes about five minutes and I am toasty warm.

I wish I could say for sure. I've heard that it does. I have the same problem you have, getting too hot at night. I had to get one of these to repay someone in the family for accidentally washing theirs'. Do your research on them, This particular one is for a bit warmer weather anyway. You probably would want one that is for summer. Maybe someone else could be of more help. I sleep with a sheet and if needed a very lightweight down throw. I'm shorter and don't need the length. Sometimes I have to place a fan at the foot of the bed even in the winter to stay cool. I will say that if someone gave me this comforter I would put a lightweight duvet on it and give it a try! Good luck and be blessed! ;-)

Yes it is warmer but I haven't noticed my kiddos getting too hot in it...unless we end up co sleeping in the middle of the night. Usually when I use the sleep sack I don't do a blanket sleeper and then the fleece sack. I go for something a little thinner and lightweight and then the fleece. If I put a blanket sleeper on I just opt out of the sleep sack...or I just put a long sleeve onesie on under it all. Hope this helps!

It is warm, but in between cotton and down. It breathes quite well, which is why it regulates temperature so well. They are thin, but heavy in weight. I like something a little heavier laying on me, so I know it's there, but I also don't like to be hot. I've had three of these over the last 20 years - they are great.

It's just a polyester duvet cover. Warmth depends on what you fill in this cover

The manufacturer just released a lighter-weight version, where the inner and outer layers are both cotton. I now have my son sleeping in that one, and he is able to maintain a comfy temperature. (If you go to Facebook and like their page, you can get 15% off your order! and if you buy 2, you get another 15% off). I haven't seen the lightweight one on amazon yet. I do still make sure to keep baby's room around 70 degrees at night though.

I think the cheaper one is smooth fleece and the higher one is ribbed fleece. I have the ribbed. It's very plush and warm. Hardly need to turn on the heat. The heat is very subtle no hot spots.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

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 thought it was hot. I tend to run warm anyway, with night sweats (TMI?) and it seemed the extra padding got extra hot and retained the heat. This is not a complaint about the product - it is well made, extremely plush and cushy. It's just a note that if you're hot and sweaty at night, this isn't one of those magic breathing, wicking matress covers that's going to alleviate any problems and could make it slightly worse. If I weren't a middle aged-woman, I'd give it 5 stars. :)

If you mean by soft you mean cashmere, then no. It's a slightly course tight weave but not rough. It's flexible and not as stiff and director chair fabric. I love this product. It's in my back yard under a shade tree and in spring and summer I go out to read or take naps. It's description is quite accurate, it is a Brazilian hammock which I'm familiar with from trips to Fortaleza, Brazil. You will enjoy it, or, you can return it. Nothing lost.
