I'm very hot-natured and hate being hot. We sleep in tshirt PJs with a sheet and a cotton blanket at about 74-75F thermostat setting at night in the summer (78F on thermostat during the day to factor any residual warmth in the mattress), and my back does get warm, but not sweaty. In winter, though, we save $$$ by not needing to run the heater much, if at all, at night (about 68-65F in the house).We're happy enough with the 12 inch mattress and use the warmth to our advantage in winter. We decided on the 12 inch because we measured how far down we sank on our old memory foam mattress. It was a good 8 inches. That fact trumped our questions about heat. hehehe I'm very hot-natured and hate being hot.

i have the 12 inch. it gets a bit hot if you have your house around 78.. but at regular temp, it is good. amazing comfort.. great for your back

All memory foam is very temperature-sensitive. In a cold room it will be firm (and in a very cold room it might be uncomfortably firm!). In a warmer room it will be softer.

If you need something firm I would not recommend any memory foam. Memory foam it is by nature not firm, but the opposite, it molds to your shape. Sounds like a spring-based mattress would be more appropriate for you.

I have the 10". I am a side sleeper & find this mattress very comfortable. I was never comfortable sleeping on my back before this mattress but now that is also comfortable. This mattress doesn't leave gaps under your body so it feels really good. I don't think I'll ever go back to a pillowtop/spring mattress.

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.

No. I would not say this mattress is hot. Being memory foam it does retain body heat more than a standard spring mattress but compared to the queen tempurpedic we have in the spare bedroom (which I would definitely say was hot) this mattress does not seem to retain as much heat as other memory foam mattresses. I have had this mattress for about 6 months and the first week I loved it, but the next month after was not as certain about it. Over the months after though I would go back to my original review. This mattress is a great bargain. It looks nice, it's comfortable and so far seems to be holding up pretty well. No. I would not say this mattress is hot.

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 chose the 13" gel because I like a softer mattress & the rating was softer than the thinner mattresses. It has worked out excellent. I am a big guy (6'2' & 345 lbs) & it feels like I'm suspended in a cloud. I don't ever feel like I'm bottoming out, even when I'm sitting. My wife is small (5'7" & about 125 lbs) & she loves it too. It's a perfect fit for us, as we both like softer mattresses. If you also prefer softer ones, I'd recommend the 13", especially if you have a larger family member. If you prefer a firmer mattress, you might want to consider one of the thinner ones. The gel foam is cool, by the way. I tend to get hot at night & this mattress is at least as cool as, if not cooler, than my previous air-adjustable mattress. Much more comfortable too. Wish I'd gotten this years ago. Hope this helps!! Goodnight!!!

I purchased the 11inch and i absolutely love it. It is a thick mattress. Very comfortable and i get a great night sleep.

The memory foam hasn't felt hot to us (we have one on our regular mattress at home). Also, my in-laws had one in their RV, and we were stunned at how comfortable that RV bed was.... this was before we knew that memory foam came in mattress-toppers also. We never felt stifled or hot in either case.

It might depend on you. I have found the memory foam keeps me too warm at times, and I think I might have an issue having the heated pan on very long.. I also have been unable to control the heat so must leave it on the lowest setting, and it is almost too hot...

I agree with you about the memory foam mattress. After trying several mattress cover's, BINGO! This one works. It is very thin, and you will be amazed how well it keeps you cool. It also is guaranteed for 10 years! WOW!!!!!!I am so Happy I tried this product. It is Fantastic. I also purchased the pillow protectors, and they work very well. Please give them a try. If by any chance they are not for you you can return them. I bet you won't. Joannie :) Let me know what you think after trying this wonderful product. :)

10" thick with 2.5" memory foam comfort layer and 7.5" polyurethane foam baseThis mattress is AWESOME! I got it for my mother and I sleep on it when I visit her and it has totally ruined my bed, haha... so I have to buy one for my bed.

Sleep Innovations really only offers the one level of firmness and it's pretty firm. I read through a lot of the reviews and went with the 12 inch and got the Full Size 3 Inch Thick, 4 Pound Density Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper by Memory Foam Solutions to go with it. The combination makes for an extremely soft bed and still keeps you at a very low price.

I have had this for over ten months (through the hot summer months) and have had no issues with heat over a memory foam mattress. I didn't get sweaty, so I can't answer for someone who has night sweats.

I bought the dream foam mattress in the 10 inch version. I have a cranky back and find it difficult to get comfortable. This mattress did the trick for me. I would call it medium firm With just enough give for sleeping on your side. Its wonderful.

It is appropriate for side sleepers. I am a side sleeper and it is quite comfortable for me. I have yet to find a memory foam mattress which is not temperature sensitive but this mattress is no worse than the $2000 opticool I have.
