Does it really compare to tempurpedic?

Yes it does! We love ours! Would recommend this to anyone and everyone! Absolutely fantastic rest on this mattress. Like it better than any we have ever had in our 46 yrs of marriage!

Cathryn, I like the pillow and am warm natured. I did not notice a huge cooling effect, but I also believe it is better than the tempurpedic. My short answer is "yes." My long answer is that when compared to other pillows I would say it had a cooling factor but that it was not anything revolutionary. That said, I'd buy it again.

Not very much cooler. It is somewhat cooler, but even mesh was sweaty for me when it was real feel temp of 110 in the Florida Summer. It may keep baby a little cooler because they are the ones who benefit from the mesh. Baby is heating you up regardless, but they will get more of a breeze out of the mesh than the organic cotton. Is it worth it? Its not a huge difference so go with what you like better. Its not like baby and I were sweat free in the mesh when it was that hot. The organic lillebaby is incredibly soft and I do recommend checking that out if you pass on this one.

I own one for 6 mos...No sweating problems and it is very breathable. I have a tempurpedic mattress as well and I can honestly say this one beats them all...

There is a difference, the less expensive pillow only has a rectangular shape cooling gel patch on one side of the memory foam pillow but the other pillow has the cool gel infused throughout the entire memory foam - which is the one I would recommend.

Make the room a little cooler wherever the mattress is. It's a trick I learned when I got tempurpedic.

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.

We have noticed no difference in having the cover. There is absolutely no heat build up that we are aware of. We find it to be just what we were looking for using it on our Tempurpedic mattress.

I don't find it hot at all. I sleep on a temperpedic mattress and find it sometimes too hot as the foam holds the heat. With the down feather bed on top of the temperpedic mattress, I am much more comfortable. Perhaps the down allows for air circulation the foam doesn't.

Yes, I currently own a tempurpedic $2500+ king size memory foam mattress at my primary residence that I've owned since 2010. I purchased a king size sleep innovations 12" suretemp memory foam mattress about 2 months ago for my vacation home. I've switched back and forth between mattresses about 6 times. The sleep innovations mattress is considerably more comfortable than the tempurpedic, and I get a much better night's sleep on it. There's absolutely no comparison.

Gel foam is more firm (less sinky) and supposedly cooler sleeping. I dont think you want this mattress less sinky, because it already does not sink link a tempurpedic. I never noticed any heat build up in the foam, but i have a mattress pad on it. So that is about it, except the obvious answer, which is....$100.00

I had this mattress for 2yrs & it worked great until I became pregnant. Then the mattress felt too soft & not enough support. My body changed permanently after birth so I had to buy the tempurpedic (the firmest model) which is much more comfortable & therefore worth the price. Guess it just depends on how much support you need.

Elvin, I use it on memory foam that has holes for air circulation, so it's supposed to stay cool. The mattress is okay on its own, and better yet with topper, but the difference is not that great. Couldn't say how it would perform on Tempurpedic. I think in general these memory foam toppers are designed for use on regular mattresses, not mattresses that are already foam. Also, it's thicker than you think: your bed will be a lot higher and you have to make sure your fitted sheet can cover it. Wish I could be more specific on Tempurpedic. My best guess is that it will help, but I can't honestly say how much. Good luck!

I tried a Rhapsody in a store that sold Tempurpedic and then bought a queen size memory foam bed from Atlantic Bed that they claimed was medium firm and compared to the rhapsody. Very good bed and we think very similar. Then we bought the king from foammattressdiscounts and think it is more of a medium than medium firm. You sink in deeper before it firms up. Do I like this King? For the money hard to beat and very comfortable. Only thing I don't like about it is it develops an aggravating wrinkle in the cover where your body sinks in the most after sleeping on it a week or so. The wrinkle can be pulled out, but comes right back.

I would say yes, it's warmer than my plain mattress, but not excessively so. In comparison, I once had a down topper and found that it was far too hot, whereas I could use this topper year round with lighter blankets when needed. I have still found it extremely comfortable, but someone who is very warm-natured might feel differently.

Temp wise, it doesn't hold a ton of heat like I have seen complaints with other brands. You should look into ones with the cooling gel if you like being cold.

I do not feel any difference between this pillow and any other pillow as far as how cool it keeps me. I know that in the description they tell you that the bamboo should keep you cooler but I honestly don't feel any difference. I think that where this pillow stands out is in its extreme comfort - it is definitely more comfortable than any other pillow I have owned.
