These are over $200 but I'm beginning to think it might be worth trying. I've read quite a few posts in these forums and people try all sorts of pads, toppers, etc to alleviate sleeping hot. I've done the same and spent a bundle. But it's not working because all the materials these toppers are made of, still retain heat. I am sick to death of waking up every few hours roasting in my bed! These cooling pads have tubes inside a mattress pad and a motor that runs water thru the tubes and cools it. Pretty intuitive really. I just wonder how much one can feel the tubes...or if it would work under a mattress pad or topper rather than just under a sheet. Anyone try these cooling pads? |
| Many posters claim that their wool mattress pads make them cooler. I wear wool in the winter to keep warm and cotton in the summer to keep cool. I just bought a 100% cotton filled mattress pad and it is much cooler than my former polyester filled cotton covered one. |

| cool in the summer and warm in the winter...this is the nature of any good insulating material that can breathe and wick away moisture. animal hair products are the best for getting all of these properties in one. its pretty hard for science to beat out millions of milions of years of evolution. wool is such an ancient material...if you really think about it, humans have been living with animal hair products (wool, alpaca, cashmere) for tens of thousands of years...even we have evolved somewhat with the use of these materials. it makes nothing but logical sense as to why its so comfortable. |
