Does this help stop the increased sweating (not necessarily from overheating, just awful sweating!) on a memory foam mattress?

I do not have the Cool Shield mattress protector on a memory foam mattress so my answer may not help you much. My husband says it makes a positive difference in the way of coolness comfort. We both like it. It feels so nice to the touch.

I use it on my memory foam mattress that also has a 3" cool gel layer and it works perfectly. I live in S.Florida so cool sleeping was my first priority....it works exactly as advertised! ...ENJOY!

I have a pillow top mattress, not a foam mattress. I have not had any change in perspiring due to the Cool Shield. I find it to be the same as my old cotton/polyester blend old fashioned quilted mattress pad.

It not just helps, but solves the problem. I love my memory foam bed and this makes it absolutely perfect.

I always used this mattress pad on our memory foam mattress. I haven't had a problem with sweating.

I would say yes it does at least in the sense that it does not make you hot at all. I found that my older memory foam pillows made my head sweat only. I changed to the microbead pillows and that is no longer a problem now.

This protector does not make the mattress any hotter; memory foam mattresses are always naturally warmer than traditional mattresses. This mattress protector will give you the same result as using the manufacturer's mattress cover.

Memory foam is a petroleum-based product, and some brands will be more odiferous than others. It is the consensus of mattress experts that the severity of the odor will dissipate over time. You want a breathable mattress protector, to not only aid in this by allowing the mattress to air out, but also to not retain heat. This is very important with memory foam. Certain brands will say they no longer sleep hot, but why exacerbate any potential heat issues?

Yes, it works. I bought mine to cover over my memory foam mattress and it provides "airiness" to the memory foam top and it's quite comfy. The pocket is also deep enough to cover my very thick mattress.

I don't think it affects my mattress. If anything, the terry fabric on it might make it warmer. Is your mattress one of those gel or foam ones? The mattress salesperson that sold me my mattress says that the gel or foam mattresses tend to make people feel warmer. This is because the gel eventually gets to the same temp as the person and people sink into foam. Maybe it's also your bedsheets.

No, it really doesn't. It's supposed to create a cooler sleeping temp, based on the heat your body generates (or doesn't). I'm not sure it's doing that, but it's not making me sleep hot. I like it, it's comfortable, and it stays put on the bed.

No, it doesn't make me feel hot (it's 100% cotton, with no synthetic fibers). I have a comfortable firm mattress, and I didn't want an overthick, fluffy pad on top of it, so I really like this pad. If I were trying to sleep on the equivalent of a board, maybe it wouldn't be enough.

Hello,I have to be honest and say I am not sure the mattress topper will cool down a memory foam mattress but I can tell you that the mattress topper is very thick and perhaps in conjunction with a mattress pad, it may be suitable for your needs. A bamboo mattress pad or the bamboo version of the mattress topper may work for you as I understand them to be cooler than other fabrics. I have three layers over mine - an thick Egyptian cotton mattress pad, a bamboo mattress pad, and then the mattress topper. I hope this was helpful and I hope you find the right solution for your situation. :) Hello,I have to be honest and say I am not sure the mattress topper will cool down a memory foam mattress but I can tell you that the mattress topper is very thick and perhaps in conjunction with a mattress pad, it may be suitable for your needs.

I am not sure,but only after a few night's sleeping on it,the memory foam trapped my body heat&caused; me to sweat.I would return right away and go online and look for a talalay latex pillow with the specially designed holes through them,you will be glad you did,I am.

I always use a mattress protector for my bed, so I may be a little biased. It works well. I dropped a pen in my bed the other day. I have also read comments about people concerned about sweating on the memory foam.

for us...it just added a little more comfort. We were trying to soften our mattress. We ended up buying a memory foam mattress instead.

Make the room a little cooler wherever the mattress is. It's a trick I learned when I got tempurpedic.

I dont believe it retains the heat, works well to protect the mattress from moisture.

I do not think so. I tried it on a regular spring coil mattress and it behaved like a gel eye mask. It stayed cool for approximately an hour and it was very pleasant during that time, but eventually it started accumulating heat and radiating it back. By the way, my condolences on owning a memory foam bed - those things are impossible to sleep on because of overheating. Nothing beats regular mattress. I only tried this cooling pad because my bedroom gets hot during summer, but it turned out my bed actually felt cooler without cooling pads on it.

The memory foam hasn't felt hot to us (we have one on our regular mattress at home). Also, my in-laws had one in their RV, and we were stunned at how comfortable that RV bed was.... this was before we knew that memory foam came in mattress-toppers also. We never felt stifled or hot in either case.
