Does this mattress cause the body to feel warmer? It seems foam doesn't allow for much circulation, which could make for some uncomfortableness.

You might get mixed answers, but I tend to freeze with mine! Thick sheet will help with that though.

I've heard some people have complaints but I've never had a single issue with it. I will never go back to a conventional mattress.

Not really. I was afraid of that too, and it happened with TemperPedic, but this seems cool. However, it's in a spare room, I use it infrequently.

I don't feel warmer at all. I haven't really noticed a difference temperature-wise.

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.

I really didn't notice a 'warming' sensation.,..but I did notice the thickness gave some cushioning on the bed, which was what I was looking for. I think it would be safe to say, it doesn't really keep you warm, more or less just comfortable

Hi,The topper does get warm, but not as warm as the regular memory foam. It helps with pressure points from a mattress that is too firm, but I don't know about the morning aches and pains.

I don't think so. It feels pretty light to me and not dense like the more sweaty memory foam mattresses.

I like to be warm but haven't noticed the matress changing anything. But since I don't mind heat if it warms up I might not notice. The review I read said that was a reason to get the higher-end "temperpedic" type mattress but I haven't noticed.

I have not had a problem with it being hot. I have to keep my bedroom at around 65 or less because I just get so hot at night. This mattress does not seem to be hot and I have been sleeping really well on it. I find it nice and firm but not hard and the edges aren't to soft. I was thinking that if it did seem too warm I was going to get the gel topper for it but don't think it is needed.

I have not found this mattress to be hot. That was always a worry I had too. I already had a topper with the "cooling" technology and I have put that on top of this mattress. I am also in the age group where I tend to pull the sheet off and back on a few times in the night even with my topper. I got something called a Chillow a few years ago and if I feel a warm trend starting I put my arm or leg on it and it truly does cool you down.

I see that Larry Worth says this mattress is really warm. That' why I am hesitating on buying a foam mattress, I have heard they are hot. Has anyone else had this experience?

I used to wake up in a sweat frequently on my plain sheets/mattress.. i feel comfy warm on this topper.. i don't know if it's cause it breathes a little bit or it absorbs.. i still turn frequently as always but less than before, it won't fix a bad mattress, certainly increases comfort though. I am happy with my purchase still after over a month.. i did have to give it some time as the change in bedding configuration revealed some aches I didn't know I had.

This particular mattress has GEL in the memory foam that makes it cooler to sleep on. It is not just plain memory foam. Those mattresses cost less money than this one. It is not hot to sleep on.

I'm not the best person to ask about this, as I am always cold and sleep w/a heated mattress pad on my side of the bed, but my husband, who is always warmer than I, has never complained about being sweaty on his side of the bed. My daughter, who has a different company's memory foam mattress, doesn't mention anything like that either. Hope this is helpful! Much success to you!

I can't say that it actually makes you cooler, but it definitely counteracts the heating effect of the top layer of our mattress. It's more like it makes you feel comfortably neutral, if that makes sense.

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.

I use this memory form topper on a regular mattress. This mattress topper will NOT allow you a cooler sleep. It's only cool to the initial touch but it warms up during the night. Especially because it's so soft and it contours to your body. Your body will create a huge divot in the mattress, trapping the heat in. It has helped me for different things: I'm pregnant so it helps support my growing belly. My back & hips don't hurt any more. I hope this will be useful.

In answer to your first question, yes...I feel it sleeps cooler than a regular foam topper. During the winter you'll find it to be a bit firmer at first, but it loosens up quickly after you've been in bed for several minutes. To a small degree it does restrict some side to side movement but nothing that encumbers you from rolling over. We've found it quite comfortable although my wife does feel that it might be a little bit "too sinky" for her but she still likes it better with than without. The only drawback I've found is that normal sheets that used to fit mattress perfectly before now are a bit tight because of the added height. Deeper sheets would remedy this but we haven't found it necessary at this time. Have it for about a year and still feels very good.

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.
