A few weeks ago we picked up our new Tempur. Wife sleeps well in it but I constantly am waking up because I'm sweating. I really enjoy the feel of these beds, but I'm wondering if its the mattress protector that is making things worse. I know this is an issue with these beds, so I'm looking to see what I can do to try and make it cooler.....aside from returning it. |
I use a wool topper and a wool filled mattress pad. That seems to feel cooler to me than just using the wool filled mattress alone over memory foam. Adding the topper will probably make it firmer though. Latex also makes some people warm and will affect the feel as well. Should be cooler than some memory foams, because when I put latex above my Sensus MF it does seem a little cooler than when the Sensus is closer to the top of my mattress. So, hard to say which would be better. I think the added wool aborbs the moisture and makes it feel cooler. Not sure how much it actually affects the temperature. Kind of like dry heat does not feel as hot as humid heat. Maybe it helps disperse the heat as well. Not totally sure. I was skeptical at first, but my experience is that I don't seem to be bothered as much by heat when I use more wool as opposed to less. |
