Does this mattress stay cool? My current memory foam mattress is too warm and I am a leery of claims that a foam mattress can be cool.

The gel top is a little cooler - but the foam will give way and crack after a few months. It loses support at the edges (loses the "squareness") I would NEVER buy another LUCID or LINEN SPA foam mattress. Mine from March 2013 started cracking in the gel foam on top - the edge lost firmness and you roll off. No support after a few months. LUCID refused to honor 25 year warranty after requesting pictures of cracked foam. LINEN SPA was no help either. Let me know if you want to see the correspondence. I'm gonna find a more reputable company.

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

I live in Arizona and I have not noticed any difference from my old mattress.

Top gel coat cracked within 9 months. Took a lot of calls & emails with distributor & manufacturers to get refund. No one would take responsibility

It is quite warm. I have to sleep on a layer of sheets and a comforter to keep cool. I did have a gel memory foam topper once that was nicely cool. But this mattress is not.

This particular mattress has GEL in the memory foam that makes it cooler to sleep on. It is not just plain memory foam. Those mattresses cost less money than this one. It is not hot to sleep on.

Yes, memory foam mattresses can get very hot and warm. But I suspect you didn't have a 15 inch mattress as well. This mattress has a design to have better airflow. I leave my AC off when I sleep, and I generally wake up with it is already 80 outside. With the air off, the bed is not warm at all, my temporpedic pillow actually gets hot, but not this bed. This company released a gel bed I think around the time I bought this bed. That one would be cool too.

I don't know that it's any cooler, but neither is it hotter. If you have your room temperature set to a cool, comfortable temperature (I like to keep mine about 66 at night, year-round), you should do just fine. I know that many of the foam mattresses/toppers tend to retain heat. I don't believe this one does - at least not to any noticeable extent. On the flipside though, it doesn't seem to dissipate heat any better than you'd find sleeping on a standard mattress. BOTTOM LINE: Temperature-wise, I'd say it's neutral. The benefit comes in the better sleeping surface that contours to your body - a good benefit for the fraction of the cost of a full foam mattress.

Yes, you will be able to keep your memory foam mattress. I purchased this product and it works well.

I to was concerned about being to hot on a foam mattress. I am post menopausal and hot on any bed, however the foam is not any different then my regular bed for heat. I purchased a nice think mattress pad maybe that's helping.

It made my regular mattress feel hotter so I got rid of this thing. Can't speak for memory foam mattresses, but I thought my comment might help someone else out there.

All of my guests say it's a great mattress, I've had both male and female guests of different ages and sizes- consensus is it's really a good mattress, but because of the low price people don't want to believe it. No one said it was hot, I think that's mainly a memory foam problem.

I didn't notice it being any warmer than our regular mattress. Since I am hot nearly 95% of the time anyway, I would have noticed it. :) It wasn't cool though. However it was supremely comfortable. I say was, because we got a new extra firm mattress and haven't put that back on yet.

It does make it warmer but not hot like the memory foam. I enjoy cool sleeping temps and I have no problem with this item.

I am very hot natured and I cannot sleep if I get too warm.. when I slept on this mattress I thought it was great! It actually stayed cooler than I thought it would and had no issues with the temperature of it.

I've never slept on any other memory foam so I have nothing to compare it to. But it does seem cooler than my bed was before the topper. Hope that helps!

Historically memory foam mattresses are warmer than regular mattresses. This mattress has some kind of cooling technology. I can't say that I've noticed it being too warm. I do live in idaho though. But if you have AC you will be fine I think.

Yes, this mattress does get hot. There are times when the topside of my body feels slightly too cold, while the bottom side in contact with the mattress is burning. We're in northern California, where it's not even that hot outside. Currently trying to figure out ways to cool down the sleep situation. We will probably try putting a quilt between the mattress and mattress pad so our skin is further away from the mattress. This somewhat defeats the purpose of a memory foam mattress though.

Yes, I do think you get warmer. I see they now have foam mattresses that have cool gel in then too. May be better for you.

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.

This mattress is hot, hot, hot! I'm use to foam mattresses & this one cooked me. Keep house at 60, even 2 yr old sleeps with me was hot. I'm amazed how more people have not complained with same issue.

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.
