One person mentioned it gets hot at night. Need to avoid that, as I live in Hawaii. Does anyone have a similar experience -- i.e., it's unusually hot?

I live in a hot, but dry, part of the country. No problems at all with the down mattress cover here during our hot summer. It is very breathable.

Well I brought one and that is not my case, I live in Puerto Rico that is a very hot island and in my case I loved it because it stay very cool all day.

I was concerned about that too. It does not sleep hot! I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm sorry that I am just now seeing this. I personally have not slept on this, so I can't answer. I bought this for the futon, when we have overnighters staying. I haven't had any complaints that it makes you hot, though.

I like it though the temp seems some what off. Meaning when I use it sometimes it really gets hot then another time not as hot. Will I purchase thisone again probably not, but I always look for something better when making this sort of purchase. Hope this helps

It was 110 Degree's today in Las Vegas. my jar of cream was ridiculously hot when I took it from the mail box. I have the same concerns!!

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

I didn't notice it being any warmer than our regular mattress. Since I am hot nearly 95% of the time anyway, I would have noticed it. :) It wasn't cool though. However it was supremely comfortable. I say was, because we got a new extra firm mattress and haven't put that back on yet.

Yes, it got super hot. I sleep not, so maybe the other posters sleep cool. Also several said they like it because it reduces their aches and pains--translation sleeps hot, but they like it, as it soothes the muscles. Don't get me wrong it's a great pad, BUT if you sleep hot, or in a hot climate, this thing WILL make you sweat.

I never even thought about how warm the Thundershirt was because it was keeping my dog calm. It's not usually hot when it rains. That's a good thing. My dog has slept in in as well. So I'm not sure that being to hot is an issue for me.

No actually it is very cool. There have been no complaints of anyone getting hot. Nice mattress pad. ENJOY.!

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.

No, it is too hot for this spring/summer weather. I remove it from the bed at night as it is just too hot.

Yes, with high heat and humidity like here in Houston, Texas you can get overheated in summertime. But, you can get overheated in these conditions humping with just a pack when it's hot out. I've used mine for a year and a half and have nothing but good words for it. I use it as a day pack with long term supplies in main backpack. Note that it does a great job of balancing out your load making it more comfortable to carry heavy loads. What I do when I get overheated is unzip the rib pack and let it hang loose, drink lots of water and rest in the shade a while before continuing. When wearing it by itself, it doesn't contribute much to your core temp. Hope that helps. Yes, with high heat and humidity like here in Houston, Texas you can get overheated in summertime.

Yes I think it would get really hot. I am in Florida which is very hot and wouldn't leave outdoors.

I can't answer that because I live in Hawaii...it's sunny here nearly every day. I have the unit mounted under the open beam ceiling of my patio so it doesn't come into contact with the elements except the wind, if anything. Sorry I couldn't help much.

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.

I live in Hotlanta and have no problems keeping cool, of course you can hang meat as cool as I keep my place. Just use a mattress cover.
