I tend to get hot as well.  I use a "cooler" memory foam (or latex ) on top  + a 1" wool topper + a wool filled mattress pad.  I also use 200TC egyptian cotton sheets and cotton blankets (unless fairly cool outside).  With this configuration I get warm but not so hot to have it bother me very often.

 

The wool topper and mattress pad due seem to make it a bit firmer - less sinking in.



how about a eggcrate topper from fbm  to put on top of the latex topper  would that take the warm feeling away?

Leo, the woolpad is Snugfleece Original. It is 1-3/4" of pure wool bonded to an all-cotton backing. Very nice, but unfortunately since the wool is bonded in rows, and there's no cover over the wool, it very quickly (w/in 3 months) started to clump into the rows.  They say fluff it, air it out, etc. Well that works but only for 1 night, then it clumps again. I can't be pulling the bed apart and fluffing that thing (running fingers through it vigorously, which takes a long time) every single night.

I now sleep on it turned over..on the cotton side, which is slightly nubby but more comfortable than those pointy ruts and clumps on the wool side. I still get hot although not sweaty.

I don't sink into the mattress so that is not why I am hot. My latex topper is not so soft as to allow me to sink in much and the wool topper prevents even more sinking.  No, I am hot because of the fabric(s) below me..be it the wool topper, the latex, or something in the mattress top itself.  I never had this problem ever on my old Beautyrest mattress.

I may be new to this forum but I am not new to mattress woes.
