Is this topper a good choice for indoor use in a warm climate?

Michele - i live in Honolulu - 80 degrees F most days. at night, goes down to '70'sF. it's fairly warm. i use the foam pad under my mattress pad and sheet - it is comfortable, doesn't make me feel hot. i got it because i'd broken my shoulder and was in severe pain for months - the pad, plus a "body pillow" helped a lot. it seesm like good "memory foam - hasn't flattened out at all. i hope this is helpful to you. i have it on a "queen-size" bed (actually a futon mattress on a box spring). aloha from honolulu!! - john

Yes. We live in the central valley in CA where the temps can hit in the 100's and have found it to be comfortable. Although we are not a humid area. Very dry. So I can't speak for a humid climate. We love ours and would definitely re-purchase.

It's rather light - better for warmer weather. I use it in conjunction with another blanket and electric blanket whereas my hubby is fine with comforter + duvet cover alone.

Hello K. Green- I wouldn't advise using a comforter in the summer. I can't say for sure not knowing your climate but I would think this would be a colder weather comforter. Designer Living Customer Service

Yes. This is very plush and warm, I would not use it in the summer time at all.

We are using it this summer with just a sheet. It is on the warm side for me, but fine for my husband. It's really a nice comforter.

My daughter used it in college for comfort. She doesn't think it dissipates body heat but felt the topper was excellent as providing enough padding for a comfortable night's sleep.

I'd say you would be okay if you keep it at the highest setting. Otherwise, might not be exactly toasty in the whole room in chilly MN weather (as a native Minnesotan, I feel your pain). I use it under my desk at work and it is perfect for that small space. If you just run it right next to you while watching tv, it'll be plenty warm enough, I think.

Yes, it is comfortable over a wide range of temperatures. I kick it half off on warm summer nights and use it under a light cover in the winter because we heat with wood and the bedroom gets very cool in winter. It seems very light with little down but it works well and is very light weight.

It is not hot but it is nice cozy and warm. When you lay down there is time to adjust because it has room temperature

I think that would depend on your body heat...I'm cold all the time and its ok for me but my husband is much warmer all the time and he sometimes tosses his covers off. It is no different than any other cover we've had in that respect. The COVER is cotton but the "inside" is synthetic, so it will tend to be warmer.

Yes. I think so. I like to be cool when im sleeping & I don't get hot with it. We have our a.c. on already & we sleep with a ceiling fan and I keep the comforter on all night, but we keep our house at about 67 in the summer.

It is a high quality product for indoors. I would not use it outdoors as the moisture would ruin it.

I haven't used the 3" gel topper, the one I have I've only owned during the wintertime, and it is quite comfortable. I'll learn whether it's too hot or not when summer heats up.

I didn't find the bag to be too hot. We overnighted at just above an 8,500ft summit in Southern California with windy conditions and it kept me warm. It's light weight material allows for good night sleep in most conditions. It should be comfortable to use in both situations.

I find it too hot for Summer but the rest of the year it's delicious. Not as physically heavy as some comforters but a great stand-alone for cooler weather. In the coldest of winter I use the comforter with two thin blankets underneath and it's quite toasty.

Mine has a 2 1/2 foot opening at top center, and slits in corners to reach a hand through and pull on comforter or topper. I use it to cover a 2-inch foam topper and sleep with a cotton sheet over that. My bedroom is controlled at 67 to 72 deg-F and 50-60 % relative humidity, and my foam topper is not noticeably hot, cold, or moist. Originally when I bought the BtN cover, I also bought a cotton pad to be placed between the cover and sheet to moderate the temperature and moisture, but have not needed it.
