Ive had no problems with it being too warm but I sleep with my a/c set pretty low. I have in the past had mattress pads that I thought were hot, I havent noticed that with this one

I live in the desert south of Las Vegas and I haven't experienced that problem. My wife has a high metabolism and often has to kick off the covers but she hasn't had a problem either. We love this mattress pad, and would buy another.

I don't know that it's any cooler, but neither is it hotter. If you have your room temperature set to a cool, comfortable temperature (I like to keep mine about 66 at night, year-round), you should do just fine. I know that many of the foam mattresses/toppers tend to retain heat. I don't believe this one does - at least not to any noticeable extent. On the flipside though, it doesn't seem to dissipate heat any better than you'd find sleeping on a standard mattress. BOTTOM LINE: Temperature-wise, I'd say it's neutral. The benefit comes in the better sleeping surface that contours to your body - a good benefit for the fraction of the cost of a full foam mattress.

Any air or water mattress will pull heat from your body. Always use a mattress pad, foam topper, or even a comforter to get some air space between you and the mattress. It also limits sweating due to close contact with the non breathable mattress material.

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 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.

I haven't noticed an odor, but it has a pretty heavy zip cover and I put it in a pillowcase as well so maybe that helps if there is an odor. As for it getting hot, I sleep so well and so sound due to this gel memory foam pillow and the gel memory foam mattress topper I am unaware if it gets hot. If it does get hot it certainly is not noticeable enough to disrupt my sleep.

No, not in my bedroom. We do use an airconditioner this time of year, but I guess a foam mattress topper might get a bit hot if you don't have air conditioning in your home.

Well I live in Seattle, so the temp hasn't gotten too high here- 60s- but we haven't had any problems with overheating. I probably wouldn't use it during the summertime unless you have air conditioning going- I keep their rooms between 68-70 and they're fine. I just put him in light cotton pjs-(carters 2piece pjs) and socks. I have noticed that the polyester type 2piece pjs seem to keep him on the warmer side, so intend not to put socks with those or only use those on colder nights. As it gets warmer I'll use it with just at shirt or onesie underneath. But once summer hits, I either switch to the thin cotton sleep sack or just put them to bed in their pjs. So it probably depends how hot it is where you live and how warm you keep your house but my son doesn't get overheated if his room is kept between that 65-70 mark. Hope that's helpful :)

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! Elvin, I use it on memory foam that has holes for air circulation, so it's supposed to stay cool.

If it's hot, the contact with your body is what makes the little one sweat. The cotton never felt uncomfortably warm. We were just at the beach and my LO napped in it while i went for a walk.

I know what hot flashes are like - terrible. But this mattress cover doesn't have a "cooling" effect, it says cool shield because it is waterproof. Some waterproof covers are plastic and would make you sweat. I do not get a feeling that this makes you overheated - its just my feeling but I am always warm so I would know if this product made me warmer - it doesn't. I hope this helps.

I've been on it in ~95 degree weather with 100% humidity. I have never noticed too much heat being trapped in the mattress. I haven't had a problem sleeping on it in the heat.

Michele - i live in Honolulu - 80 degrees F most days. at night, goes down to '70'sF. it's fairly warm.i use the foam pad under my mattress pad and sheet - it is comfortable, doesn't make me feel hot. i got it because i'd broken my shoulder and was in severe pain for months - the pad, plus a "body pillow" helped a lot. it seesm like good "memory foam - hasn't flattened out at all. i hope this is helpful to you. i have it on a "queen-size" bed (actually a futon mattress on a box spring). aloha from honolulu!! - john

I haven't found this topper to hold the heat, its a very comfortable sleep. Since getting the mattress topper, I no longer wake up with my hips and lower back aching. I would absolutely recommend this to everyone.

No it does not get too hot. You can barely feel any heat from it. I like it a lot. I have been using it at night before going to bed and my sleep hasn't been as good so I am going to use it earlier in the day to see if it is from the medlight at night. I am very sensitive to things too.

I really don't know how to answer that. I still sleep with a down comforter over me, and I haven't really even thought about if the mattress pad is too warm. I can't stand to sleep on a waterproof mattress cover, I sweat terribly, that's why I intentionally bought one that is not water proof. Maybe that's what's happening to you.
