Does this mattress protector trap heat?

It does trap a little heat, my wife and I keep it a little chilly in our bedroom anyway so I haven't noticed any excessive heat buildup.

I don't know; I had no trouble with my bed being too hot (it is not a foam), and I did not notice any temperature change with the mattress topper.

This protector does not make the mattress any hotter; memory foam mattresses are always naturally warmer than traditional mattresses. This mattress protector will give you the same result as using the manufacturer's mattress cover.

Look up the ColdGear, it traps heat...The HeatGear will actually make it feel colder.

Hello there! I was expecting this mattress topper to make me quite a bit hotter but I really haven't noticed a difference. If anything, it will only make a slight difference on the warmer side. The mattress topper comes with some small pencil sized holes so I think that helps keep it cooler.

it does trap in heat, but not like a waist trimmer. they are made of different materials

No. I had to try it out before putting it in my son's room but it does not get hot to the touch.

Yes, it does. Further, I have placed this unit on my under-desk shelf (at my feet) and have experienced no heating of the shelf itself. I rate this unit as an excellent personal space heater (although, I don't like the way you turn it off -- too easy to modify setting!) But that is a minor annoyance.

As far as I can tell, no, it doesn't. However, my cat hasn't 'taken' too well to this and I feel very little heat when I press down on the bed. This is probably one of the type that doesn't heat until it has the weight of the cat on it.

Hi, there is a little light below the middle of the unit, it stays on when it is plugged in. When you hit the middle button a number will come on and you hit the right or left again and the heat will be on . that little light is nothing but a warning to you that the unit is plugged in. this is a wonderful mattress pad

No. These mattress covers are made for memory foam mattresses. The side of the cover that contacts the mattress has a waterproof material to protect the foam. I use mine on a Tempurpedic mattress with no problems.

That has not been an issue so far, and we live in the really hot desert...I do have a zip on cover over mine, followed by an old fashioned mattress cover, then the sheet. That may have been adequate to prevent over heating.

no, place the topper directly under your fitted sheet. the protector would go on the bare mattress to protect it.

It does not. I have accidentally left it on before and have come back 8 hours later to it still fully heated and on.

Probably not enough to make a difference. It is as thick as a regular mattress cover. That said, I really like the way it heats the bed!

Yes in fact, I think it does. I don't wake up hot like I used to before I got the mattress.
