Does this cover sleep as cool as the mattress without it, or does it increase the temperature?

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!

I have this exact mattress cover and it doesn't get warm when you lay on it at all, it stays pretty cool spreading your body heat to not heat just one area.

I don't know; I had no trouble with my bed being too hot (it is not a foam), and I did not notice any temperature change with the mattress topper.

I find it cooler than my regular mattress before I had this topper but I am not sure---

I do not notice that I feel any cooler (or hotter) with this topper product, as compared to when I used just my natural latex mattress with no topper.

Happily and surprisingly, no! I have similar issues with being very warm, when I sleep. I've noticed no major difference (except for much better comfort to my back and the rest of my body), between sleeping on this mattress, vs. any other.

I have found this cover to be cooler than others that I have tried. There seems to be a bit more air circulation. Not a dramatic difference but enough for me. I would definitely put a waterproof cover between this and the mattress. Sweat filters down through the cover and has caused my foam mattress topper to get moldy. This is not unique to this cover. I have found that all covers have the same problem. You will need to provide a way for the area to air out and get dry in order to combat this. An absorbent layer (towel) on top of your mattress that is changed frequently may help.

NO. unless you lay on it without any sheets(which i haven't) then it might be cooler, but i doubt it.

It does not sleep hot. It breathes very well but it does nothing to change the feel of your mattress one way or another.

I find it to be slightly warmer than without it, but less than some other mattress protectors. It's really not too bad and it's very comfortable.

Bought it for my husband. He didnt notice the difference in temperature. However, he thinks it is more comfortable and sleeps better than he normally did with a conventional pillow.

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 have a mattress pad on top of it & it doesn't get hot at all. In fact, thats one of the things I love about it!

I haven't had it a year. Only a month. It does not add any exta warmth. I have a mattress cover over it which may make a difference.

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 live in Austin, TX... Super hot, often humid. I haven't noticed any temperature difference by having this on top of the mattress.

It doesn't add heat but I wouldn't say it makes it cool either. I would say it keeps it neutral. I use a flannel pillow case over them and I don't wake up with a sweaty head.
