Is this very breathable, or is it pretty thick? I just don't want to wake up covered in sweat. Hate being hot when I sleep. Thx.

I had a comforter before and it killed me. Seriously. A lot of reviewers for this said it was too thin. In my opinion it's not too thin or not to thick. I sleep with this comforter and satin sheets and I don't get hot. However, I absolutely have to sleep under a fan and that changes the equation. I love it, some hate it. Wish I had a better answer for you. If your generally a very picky person you may not. I got it because of colors and I'm perfectly happy

It is not breathable...... it is meant to keep in your body warmth yet lose the bulkiness.

No it isnt waterproof. Feels more like a mattress cover. I don't sweat at all with it. Love the pillow too!!!

I put this cover on my child's mattress, because he has a cheaper mattress, however, he has had trouble laying down for his nap, and staying in bed, so lately, I'll lay down next to him for a while till he gets sleepy. Once or twice I've fallen asleep, and no it didn't get hot or even warm. It was very comfortable. But I haven't slept on it for an extended period of time. Sorry about the lengthy answer.

Just throw the thinness inexpensive cotton mattress cover on it and you'll be fine. Found one at Wally world (make sure its cotton) for less then $20 with deep pockets. I didn't experience any body heat problems prior but a thin cotton cover will help dissipate body heat worries & protect this awesome mattress. Reviewers were right. Hard to get up in the morning its soooo comfortable. Haven't written a review yet but some advice, it might take almost two weeks to fully expess itself into that firm softness (cloud-like) that so many seek.

For me, I never feel like my head is getting hot. It is perfect with the vents, it is enough for the air to come in and makes it like you are not wearing anything. You can never go wrong with this one. I promised. Good luck...

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

I personally have not slept on it for a full night but my children do not seem to have a problem with it being hot or sweaty. The material that it is covered in is like a nylon mesh but softer (if that makes sense). It is extremely comfortable, my husband and I are thinking of getting one in a larger size. I hope that helps!

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 feel very comfortable -- it is hard for me to say whether it is cold or warm as people feel differently. It is breathable - I would say it will keep you cool. I have used for more than 4 weeks now. It has improved my sleep quality. Good luck!

Sorry, I like to be hot and I have had to run in frigid temperatures lately. I have not had these long enough to know how they behave in warmer temperatures. Based on my experience with other brands as well, they are no different in terms on how much I sweat. The support is excellent though. Hope this helps

Yes it's not breathable. My baby sweats also. We try to keep him light on clothes while in seat.

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.

I just have it on while playing golf however, I could imagine that wearing it while sleeping would be comfortable. I don't think it would be hot or sweaty at all while sleeping.

That hasn't been an issue for me. The fabric seems fairly breathable and absorptive, but I guess if you are prone to sweating it could exacerbate that by trapping heat. I think that would be an issue with any cervical collar, however, and I don't see any reason why this one would be especially sweat-inducing.

No. I have no issues with this pillow making me sweat. I love this pillow so much i now travel with it!
