Can this mattress protector keep you cooler when laying on a tempur pedic mattress?

I have not slept on it myself, but have made the bed. I was amazed by how soft the terry cloth is and had to turn it over to convince myself that the backing is indeed protecive. My son, in his 20's, weighs 400lb, who has a problem, complains very quickly if he feels at all warmand has a fanrunning 24/7. To date he has been making his own bed; the previous sheets had a plastic sheet backing, and he would strip the bed or sneak to the spare room. I am genuinely impressed. Hubby just tells me that he slept well when he slept on this sheet. I now have one over the spare room bed too.

No, it does not. I have not noticed any temperature difference with this mattress protector on. It is also super light and takes up very little room in my washer.

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.

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

If it's the thickness of a regular queen-size mattress, yes. I have a queen-size mattress with a TempurPedic topper. There's enough of the stretchy sides left over that I tuck it beneath. Every once in a while I find I have to reposition the terry cloth part squarely on the mattress, but it's no big deal.A couple of weeks ago, I had a major spill and it blocked all of it. Just washed the cover in cold water on gentle, and hung it inside my home to dry. Works great.

I can't say that it actually makes you cooler, but it definitely counteracts the heating effect of the top layer of our mattress. It's more like it makes you feel comfortably neutral, if that makes sense.

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.

The answer is NO; there is nothing to keep it in place. First, realize that this isn't a "large" size, in my opinion, as mentioned in the ad; the standard pillow is 20" x 26", and this item is 11" x 22". Second, it isn't a casing filled with cooling material and foam as most cooling pillows are -- this has 4 small chambers: two small ones in the center, and two larger ones on the ends. This helps distribute weight so that the weight of your head does not displace all of the cooling material inside the pad. Third, if you sleep with an angled/slanted pillow, this item can roll/slide/fold down or off your pillow; my head keeps mine in place! (The one I received does not have a "rough" side, or "non-adhesive backing" as mentioned in some of the other replies to this question.) To me, it's better than not having anything to cool my head at all...While it may not seem that it helps very much, the proof can be realized if you stop using it...so it does make a difference! :)

Larry, I bought this to replace the mattress in my camper and have been absolutely pleased with it. I have a very $$ tempur pedic in the house that I do not sleep as well on. Hope this answers your question. I believe the thicker the mattress the more comfortable you will be.

I didn't cover my mattress instead I bought Organic Wool Topper, It works both ways keeps you cool in the summer & warm in the winter.

We have 2 of these mattresses. And no they do not have cooling effect. But we do have one that does. Search amazon for cool memory foam mattress.

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.

No, it really doesn't. It's supposed to create a cooler sleeping temp, based on the heat your body generates (or doesn't). I'm not sure it's doing that, but it's not making me sleep hot. I like it, it's comfortable, and it stays put on the bed.

We have a 4 inch gel memory foam topper on our bed with the protector and it is fine. Do not notice any heat issues at all.

Elvin, I use it on memory foam that has holes for air circulation, so it's supposed to stay cool. The mattress is okay on its own, and better yet with topper, but the difference is not that great. Couldn't say how it would perform on Tempurpedic. I think in general these memory foam toppers are designed for use on regular mattresses, not mattresses that are already foam. Also, it's thicker than you think: your bed will be a lot higher and you have to make sure your fitted sheet can cover it. Wish I could be more specific on Tempurpedic. My best guess is that it will help, but I can't honestly say how much. Good luck!

I wouldn't say cooler to the touch. It does provide a small barrier of air between you and the mattress to provide more air circulation. But does it cool you off? I would say no. You just don't heat up as fast.
