hi--just wondering if this topper is breathable or does it hold in your body heat?? thanks.

It is not breathable and yes it holds your body heat. I am thinking of returning it? It does NOT disperse your body heat.

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.

Not at all. In fact I love it! I stay warm but not hot like down ccomforters. I got my friend to buy one and they love it also.

It has a mesh like material on 1/2 of it. I wouldn't describe it as super breathable, but it is probabl cooler than the original. If you are going to use this in hot weather or live in a warmer climate I would totally recommend the breeze version.

It is not breathable by design. However, once you put it on may see that it does not "seal" cover the eye so air an go in an out easily

hi, not quite sure how to answer heavy. but it certainly is hot. i sleep with a cotton sheet and this comforter during summer and i end up kicking it off. it's plenty warm during winter as well. even then, i sleep with just a sheet and the comforter.

I have had the topper a couple weeks. So far, it isn't too warm. I have an older mattress and the topper gives my bed just the right fluffiness...not too much and not too little. I can understand the concern of the bed being too warm. I think sheets that are cooler to the touch would make the difference. I also purchased a duvet insert. I chose the medium fill. This may be too warm in the summer. If it is, I may try a different cover before I invest in another duvet. Hope this helps!

I don't sleep on it. I have a tempurpedic but this was for a guest bed. Have not had any complaints. I do have a similar waterproof cover on my bed (dog proof) and it's not hot at all.

Is this material breathable? Or would it retain moisture/humidity from your body inside?

I think all memory foam holds your body heat to some extent. I sewed some pillow cases for mine so with the extra layer between me and the pillow I haven't noticed it being hot. Although it has been fairly cold here yet, so I guess we'll find out soon enough!

It isn't that the topper actually feels cold. It is more that with the fabric cover over the topper it makes it so that YOU stay cool. We never sweat on top of it. Hope that helps.

This topper is really thick and high fluffy so you are at least a couple inches removed from the mattress. So yes I think it should keep you a bit cooler and for sure comfy. Thanks for the heads up about those memory foam mattresses. It is exactly why we never bought one.

I would say the gel is cool, not cold. It does warm up with your body heat but doesn't get uncomfortably hot. However, in cold weather, I've notice the mattress topper becomes firm but later softens with body heat.

I have a down duvet cover, we stay warm. I would say no to the topper staying cool

This topper is very comfortable but if you are a warm sleeper it may make you sweaty.

I have on top of a foam topper. The foam was reflecting my body heat, after putting on the mattress pad I felt much better. Remember that the pad is wool covered by cotton sheeting.

We have a thick memory foam topper and I do not notice it being hot with this mattress topper on it. It should help with your problem...if not you can return it. Worth trying it out.We do love this topper.
