For those of you who have used this during the summer months, does the gel do a good job of dispersing heat, or is it still uncomfortably warm?

It is not uncomfortably warm. The combination of 1.5 gel and 2.5 memory doesn't allow you to really sink, deeply, into the mattress.

I find this matress does tend to be warmer in the summer. I use a very thin mattress pad to isolate the heat.

We've had one of these for over a year--through the hottest of the summer and sub-freezing winter. I thought it would be unbearable in the winter. If you can hold your hands under cold running water then this is going to feel fine on your delicate parts!

I did not ever feel too hot using that product. If you weigh over 150 it might lose its resilience. I weigh 180 and it lost it's support and stayed out of shape.

This definitely gets hot hot hot. I have a blister on my butt as a reminder. You definitely need to use through several layers or only on the lower settings. I can't say I noticed any difference in relief between this and my traditional heating pad. One thing I didn't care for was there was no way too use more than 90 minutes at a time. Mine did seem to be a quality product and the 2 blisters I got are definitely my fault. Oh, and yes it is pretty flexible and comes with a strap that will help hold it to your leg.

I am not exactly sure how this would hold up in the extreme heat. I used this on the floor board of my pickup truck, and when it's super hot in the summer months, it gets a little bit sticky feeling. This product is like rubber in a can. If you wouldn't put rubber near extreme heat, I wouldn't put this near it either.

I haven't experienced any discomfort from it heating up and it has not caused me to sweat. It is overall a pretty good Mattress pad. I supplemented it with an 1 1/2 inch thick, 5 zone gel foam pad.

I live in Florida & use this year round. I find it to be warm but not oppressingly hot in summer. It might br too light foe winter if you live in a cold region

I haven't tried the gel, but I like to be warm at night so that doesn't bother me. This topper is extremely comfortable, that's the main thing.

I haven't used the 3" gel topper, the one I have I've only owned during the wintertime, and it is quite comfortable. I'll learn whether it's too hot or not when summer heats up.

Yes I have been faithfully using this product for about a month now, and as mentioned I am currently deployed so the hot weather results in the moisturizer melting off my skin before it even has enought time to absorb; this moisturizer takes more time than usual to truly soak into the skin, because my Olay all day mositurizer soaks in instantaneously, so that is a down for me with this product. I do not use it to actually see a more 'youthful' look but to prevent wrinkles and free-radicals effects. I opted to use it as a night cream because it gives the product enough time to soak in and I wake up up with beautiful soft velvety skin :) Yes I have been faithfully using this product for about a month now, and as mentioned I am currently deployed so the hot weather results in the moisturizer melting off my skin before it even has enought time to absorb; this moisturizer takes more time than usual to truly soak into the skin, because my Olay all day mositurizer soaks in instantaneously, so that is a down for me with this product.

I don't find that it get's overly hot at all. Overall, it's a great beach blanket and the size is great for my family of 4!

It's a little warm but hey, pretty much anything is a little warm when you're concealing in the summer in a hot climate. It is adjustable, so you can loosen it if needed. I actually wear mine jogging. Love this because it is very flexible to use.

I used it last fall and I do not recall it feeling hot. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable it is in our camper.

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...

The gel is not really a thick gel - I do shake the tube before dispensing - but I have used the gel, roll on and spray and I swear by it. It is the best!

Ours contains gel beads which is designed to dissipate the heat. The mattress has been great!
