I have heard that some mattress toppers hold in a lot of heat, so Iam wondering if this product gets too hot in the summertime? I tend to sweat alot in the night, and am looking for bed products that breathe and would not make me sweat so bad.~Thanks!

Ive had no problems with it being too warm but I sleep with my a/c set pretty low. I have in the past had mattress pads that I thought were hot, I havent noticed that with this one

I live in the desert south of Las Vegas and I haven't experienced that problem. My wife has a high metabolism and often has to kick off the covers but she hasn't had a problem either. We love this mattress pad, and would buy another.

No, not to me! Down toppers are way less hot than memory foam toppers which really can hold the heat. I agree with the other responder that it may be somewhat related to the climate you live in as well, but in most areas feather toppers should be fine.

It says 'cooling' because it is not as hot as the older memory foam toppers were. Lots of people complained about the heat retention because it is a closed cell foam. The manufacturers started adding holes in the material, then designing cooling systems to remove some of the heat. So this isn't designed to cool you, it's designed to release some of the heat (ie, cool) retained in the closed cell structure of the foam.

Well I live in Seattle, so the temp hasn't gotten too high here- 60s- but we haven't had any problems with overheating. I probably wouldn't use it during the summertime unless you have air conditioning going- I keep their rooms between 68-70 and they're fine. I just put him in light cotton pjs-(carters 2piece pjs) and socks. I have noticed that the polyester type 2piece pjs seem to keep him on the warmer side, so intend not to put socks with those or only use those on colder nights. As it gets warmer I'll use it with just at shirt or onesie underneath. But once summer hits, I either switch to the thin cotton sleep sack or just put them to bed in their pjs. So it probably depends how hot it is where you live and how warm you keep your house but my son doesn't get overheated if his room is kept between that 65-70 mark. Hope that's helpful :)

Memory foam is a petroleum-based product, and some brands will be more odiferous than others. It is the consensus of mattress experts that the severity of the odor will dissipate over time. You want a breathable mattress protector, to not only aid in this by allowing the mattress to air out, but also to not retain heat. This is very important with memory foam. Certain brands will say they no longer sleep hot, but why exacerbate any potential heat issues?

Because it is polyester and not cotton, I find that it doesn't breathe that well. I tend to push it off myself during NC summer nights because I get sweaty. However, it isn't as heavy as most comforters you'd find, and I really like it!

In our case, YES, this did help! We recently purchased a Beautyrest Recharge Ultra King mattress. Not only was it too firm, but it was HOT. This topper is awesome. I love it! Would love to hear your opinion if you decide to purchase.

Not at all. I used to get hot on my other mattress but I think this one has a cooling layer because I have not, and I got it last summer so I it is not because of weather.

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.

Not in my environment. Where I live the nightly temp in the summer is in the low to mid 50's so I do not experience this topper as hot.

I do not have an issue with this item holding in heat. It is very comfortable to sleep on. This purchase will definitely not be a waste of money. You can read all the reviews but until you experience this mattress pad for yourself only then will you understand what the rave reviews are about.

I have not had any issues with overheating using this topper. I put a foam topper on my futon under the topper and that has worked out quite well.

Our mattress pad seems to stay cool, it does not add heat like some mattresses add heat. Even my husband was impressed with the cooler temperature difference and he definitely doubted it would produce results for a better sleeping experience.

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!

My memory foam bed is too hot! Will this keep me cool on top of memory foam? My bamboo pillow doesn't stay cool, and gets hot after awhile too.

I wouldn't say that this topper makes your sleep cooler, but it doesn't insulate you like other toppers might. In the summer, with a heavy comforter you might sweat, but sleeping with a regular blanket should be fine. I must mention that this topper is extremely comfortable.

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. :)
