How well will this cool down a foam mattress with a memory foam mattress pad over it?

Generally it will cool the same as any bed, it's how you setup the bed fan that makes the difference. The picture doesn't portray the way we use the bed fan since it's positioned under the bed sheet. We use ares with the covers covering it and the top section reaches enough that it can easily direct airflow at your feet and it feels like just air passing over the body out to the top of the sheets. It does such a great job but at higher fan speeds of course that we have to end up turning it down in the middle of the night because we get cold on hot days. We typically leave our home around 78 in the summer and this bed fan does a fantastic job setup correctly.

The way it is set up under the sheet it will blow the cool air over the top of the mattress pad and under the sheet. Couldn't imagine it would make that much of a difference but I do not have a memory foam so can't give you a definite answer on that. Sorry

I do not have the Cool Shield mattress protector on a memory foam mattress so my answer may not help you much. My husband says it makes a positive difference in the way of coolness comfort. We both like it. It feels so nice to the touch.

I guess it depends on the 'depth' of your mattress as to where the connecter lays. I scoot my down as far as I can as to not feel it, I also am not as concerned w/ heat by my head/shoulders as I am my Feet! Good Luck.

This pad is made to help you sleep cooler, it is only 3/4 of a inch thick. We had it made thin on purpose so it doesn't take away the feel of memory foam or tempurpedic beds.

I had a super puffy goose down mattress cover on mine and I did not overheat. (But I did return it because it was so hard.)

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.

Ours is on a regular mattress and we love the set. It is a pad with an "Iso Cool" cover that is the part that keeps it cool. You could put just the pad over the pillow top. I would think that it would help keep you cool--but we use both pieces. HTH.

Hello,I have to be honest and say I am not sure the mattress topper will cool down a memory foam mattress but I can tell you that the mattress topper is very thick and perhaps in conjunction with a mattress pad, it may be suitable for your needs. A bamboo mattress pad or the bamboo version of the mattress topper may work for you as I understand them to be cooler than other fabrics. I have three layers over mine - an thick Egyptian cotton mattress pad, a bamboo mattress pad, and then the mattress topper. I hope this was helpful and I hope you find the right solution for your situation. :) Hello,I have to be honest and say I am not sure the mattress topper will cool down a memory foam mattress but I can tell you that the mattress topper is very thick and perhaps in conjunction with a mattress pad, it may be suitable for your needs.

I guess it all depends on your mattress. Our mattress has a cotton blend material on top so Yes...I'm sure this helps the protector to be more breathable & much cooler for us (no more mattress hot spots)However, Not sure how it works with memory foam mattresses, I know that they can get quite hot during sleep which is why we steered away from those (been there done that). We are Very Happy with this product & believe its worth a try! Getting our Zzzzzzzz's

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.

I'm not completely sure, as I've always used a pad on top of my 4 inch foam topper, but I would think it would. The quilted pad adds a buffer between you and the foam to help disperse heat. At least from my experience.

Yes the chillgel pad does lose its coolness on memory foam beds. I get hot flashes & find that it doesn't stay cool much longer after one whether it's on the bed or not.

I actually bought the cool shield mattress protector first since my toddler sneaks into our room at night & on many occasions has wet our bed, but I also have the mattress cover that came with the memory foam pad as well. It seems like overkill, but I don't want my mattress pad to get ruined & the cover they sent me helps the over heating I was having while sleeping on this & I'm not sure that alone would be enough protection against my toddler wetting the bed every other night! With all that plus a fitted sheet it does not affect the comfort whatsoever.

It's relatively good. It reduces the temperature of your laptop by a few degrees. Unfortunately for me though, since my internal fan is barely working, it wasn't enough for mine, but I'd say it's pretty good. Not a fan of the material that the chill pad is made of though. Thought it would be made of a harder plastic. Hope I was helpful

I do not think so. I tried it on a regular spring coil mattress and it behaved like a gel eye mask. It stayed cool for approximately an hour and it was very pleasant during that time, but eventually it started accumulating heat and radiating it back. By the way, my condolences on owning a memory foam bed - those things are impossible to sleep on because of overheating. Nothing beats regular mattress. I only tried this cooling pad because my bedroom gets hot during summer, but it turned out my bed actually felt cooler without cooling pads on it.

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.

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.
