Is this mattress pad only for memory foam mattresses? i have a regular pillowtop mattress and i'm looking for a pad that will help me sleep cooler.

This mattress pad is HUGE! Best quality we have ever had. Don't know if the pad will help you sleep cooler, but it is thicker and seems to be cooler. If you can get the pad separately, I would recommend it.

That's the exact configuration I have. This does help. It's not as cool as I would like though. But it definitely cools it more than it was.

I use this memory form topper on a regular mattress. This mattress topper will NOT allow you a cooler sleep. It's only cool to the initial touch but it warms up during the night. Especially because it's so soft and it contours to your body. Your body will create a huge divot in the mattress, trapping the heat in. It has helped me for different things: I'm pregnant so it helps support my growing belly. My back & hips don't hurt any more. I hope this will be useful.

I use it on top of my pillow top mattress. I bought it for the same reason. The pillow too. I love that technology.

Ours is on a regular mattress and we love the set. It is a pad with an "Iso Cool" cover that is the part that keeps it cool. You could put just the pad over the pillow top. I would think that it would help keep you cool--but we use both pieces. HTH.

I have a memory foam topper and hot flashes (TMI?). This pad is extremely comfortable, and is thick enough to insulate from the memory foam. Good luck!

No. It's a mattress pad that's meant to protect the mattress. It provides some cushioning, but isn't a pad for sleeping/comfort.

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.

No. It's very comfortable, no different than a regular mattress pad. If anything, it adds some pillowing to the bed so it sleeps cozier!

It DOES stay cooler than my last memory foam mattress. However it is nowhere near as firm. Tradeoff, I guess.

yes you can put a mattress pad on it. Mine was a snug fit for a full bed. I find you get cold on all air mattresses, but a pad might help.

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

It hadn't occurred to me to use anything other than a nice mattress pad . . . either waterproof or not . . . since the mattress meets my "softness" requirements. I truly think that anything thicker, like some sort of topper, would defeat the purpose of the memory foam. The memory foam is designed to closely conform to the contours of the body, so I would not recommend putting a substantial barrier between myself and the top of the mattress. My previous mattress was the 7" version of the mattress and I only used a regular mattress pad for protection of its surface, as I have with this one. I hope this is of help to you. P.S. The 12" has proved to be much more satisfactory to me.

It's on the softer side, you definitely sink into it. It adds a very small amount of support. I bought it to "soften" a very firm mattress and it does exactly that. It is also not "cool" as advertised, it is cooler than memory foam but still holds a lot of heat. Hope this helps!

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 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.

I have this mattress pad on a Tempurpedic mattress and I do not find it to be hotter than normal.

The padding on this mattress pad will not make much of a difference with the comfort of your current mattress in my opinion. You should prob look into a memory foam to place on top of your mattress or if your mattress is older than 8-10 years look into replacing it with the pillow tops that are on the market now.

The Iso Cool Memory Foam Mattress Pad goes under your sheets. I have deep pocket sheets and they fit fine over everything.

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 don't feel like it does. My mattress is memory foam, and the pad works perfectly well with it.
