Some reviewers say this mattress topper makes them perspire, others say no. I tend to run warm most of the time so will this topper cause me problems?

It does cause me to perspire. The Costco pad has a nice cover that comes with. this one is firm and comfortable but only rests under the sheet, if you use a mattress pad cover over it, you may be more comfortable.

We purchased these for our kid's beds, so I can't speak from a personal perspective. That said, I have heard no complaint from either of my children, and they both give positive reviews on how improved their beds are with the addition of the pad.

The very first night (probably because it was new & different) I might have responded "maybe a little", but since then (and we have had much warmer nights since that first one), I would respond "no". My husband says it never did make him perspire more.

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.

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.

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.

Good question, I have a mattress cover on it, I do not notice coolness or hotness, sort of neutral. I hope this helps, YW :)

I have had the topper a couple weeks. So far, it isn't too warm. I have an older mattress and the topper gives my bed just the right fluffiness...not too much and not too little. I can understand the concern of the bed being too warm. I think sheets that are cooler to the touch would make the difference. I also purchased a duvet insert. I chose the medium fill. This may be too warm in the summer. If it is, I may try a different cover before I invest in another duvet. Hope this helps!

It's possible! It depends how firm your mattress is in comparison to the topper. If the topper is softer than it will help! The topper is pretty firm but it contours to your body.

It does make it warmer but not hot like the memory foam. I enjoy cool sleeping temps and I have no problem with this item.

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 suppose it depends on what "comfortable" actually is. This particular topper is soft in comparison to a dense memory foam mattress. However, if you place it on top of a soft mattress, the "soft" aspect will definitely remain. This can be good or bad, depending on the sleeper's preference.

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.

This topper is very comfortable but if you are a warm sleeper it may make you sweaty.

I use a comforter over mine, but I sometimes find it increases the heat too much. Not a problem, just an observation.

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 wish I could say for sure. I've heard that it does. I have the same problem you have, getting too hot at night. I had to get one of these to repay someone in the family for accidentally washing theirs'. Do your research on them, This particular one is for a bit warmer weather anyway. You probably would want one that is for summer. Maybe someone else could be of more help. I sleep with a sheet and if needed a very lightweight down throw. I'm shorter and don't need the length. Sometimes I have to place a fan at the foot of the bed even in the winter to stay cool. I will say that if someone gave me this comforter I would put a lightweight duvet on it and give it a try! Good luck and be blessed! ;-)

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 get really hot when I sleep too and I sweat under this comfort but not as bad as I did when we had a heavier one. Hope this helps.

Mine did at first but then I messages the seller and found out that the room temperature has to be between 70 and 75 degrees or the topper gets hard. I like to sleep with temp at 65-68 so I just got a warm down comforter and as soon as my body warms it up, I'm good. My neck has hurt more though and had migraines but I don't know if that is from the topper or bad pillow. Hope this helps.

Not at all. I used to get hot on my other mattress but I think this one has a cooling layer because I have not, and I got it last summer so I it is not because of weather.
