My husband and I sleep very hot. We also have a 4" Memory Foam Topper. Does this mattress protector make it hotter or cooler?

I bought the mattress protector to replace a different brand but similar style. I don't notice any difference but I just have a regular queen pillow top mattress. So far I'm very satisfied, it doesn't come loose from the corners and stays flat.

I tend to have some serious night sweats. Had been using one from walmart as only one I had found and was plastic backed. This one is nice soft quiet and alot cooler then the plastic backed one. And seems to be cooler then mattress alone

It really doesn't retain any heat. It is made of a waterproof fabric on one side and a terry-like material on the other. It's very lightweight, but definitely durable. It washed and dried well too.

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. :)

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.

We did not find it hot to sleep on. My husband has high blood pressure, which causes him to be hot at night sometimes so we purchased a mattress cover (also from Amazon) that has a "cooling factor". It was not very expensive, as some are. We bought him a new pillow that also helps with cooling built in it. The mattress is also comfortable and a very good price. I hope this information helps.

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

I don't think it affects my mattress. If anything, the terry fabric on it might make it warmer. Is your mattress one of those gel or foam ones? The mattress salesperson that sold me my mattress says that the gel or foam mattresses tend to make people feel warmer. This is because the gel eventually gets to the same temp as the person and people sink into foam. Maybe it's also your bedsheets.

No it does not. We purposely bought the more dense Temper Pedic bed for the coolness and when we bought the protector I was concerned about this too. I can assure you the temperature is no different. I can't sleep in a hot bed.

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'm not sure what you mean "sleep hot", but yes it does make mattress feel softer.

It does not make it hotter. I tend to get hot and this definitely sleeps cooler than the regular mattress. I purchased this due to back arthritis and it is the best!!,

No, this alone will not "add" coolness as it has no cooling properties. The Cool Shield name (imo) simply refers to the fact it will not make your sleeping experience any warmer because its breathable. It's totally neutral! Most other water resistant mattress protectors get hot, while this one doesn't.

I also have a memory foam on top and I do not have an issue with it feeling too hot and I over heat pretty easy. I do have sheets that don't keep heat and I run a fan on me at all times when I'm sleeping.

I actually bought the cool shield mattress protector first since my toddler sneaks into our room at night & on many occasions has wet our bed, but I also have the mattress cover that came with the memory foam pad as well. It seems like overkill, but I don't want my mattress pad to get ruined & the cover they sent me helps the over heating I was having while sleeping on this & I'm not sure that alone would be enough protection against my toddler wetting the bed every other night! With all that plus a fitted sheet it does not affect the comfort whatsoever.

David - the mattress does not have cool gel in it as far as I know. However, my wife and I sleep cool on it.

yes you stay cool....its an awesome mattress...firm... but awesome...I have a memory foam topper on mine and it helps...and I get a little warm from that.....but yes you stay cool..

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 the bed feeling any hotter. I think you only get that effect with toppers that are much thicker than this one is.
