The topper is very soft and comfortable but it is not cooling. It is cool to the touch. And Because it is a slippery top, the sheets become very wrinkled and loose. I was disappointed
I got this topper a couple months ago but it doesn't hold its shape well and seems to already be worn out on mine and my fiancé's sides. We aren't small people but we're not big/heavy either. It doesn't seem to do much cooling either as i still get really hot.
My husband purchased this for our firm mattress, as I wasn't sleeping comfortably on it as a side sleeper. He bought the Tempurpedic topper as he was worried about being too hot with normal memory foam, and we wanted something that we thought was high quality and would last. We really wanted to love it, especially given the cost and the fact that it's not returnable. Almost a year later, we've both been tossing and turning all night and finally realized the that mattress topper was to blame. Initially, we thought the topper was "cradling". However, we've realized that upon laying on the bed, there's no sense of pressure relief; it feels like laying on jelly. Unlike a normal memory foam topper (which I have used before and liked), this feels more like a gel and doesn't feel supportive at all. Rather than it feeling like the topper compresses at your pressure points, it feels like you're sinking into the bed. You can't even tell there's a firm mattress underneath it; there's just no feeling of support. Additionally, the topper bunches around on my husband's side of the bed near his shoulders, leaving a wave. It can only be flattened out by removing the fitted sheet and shifting the topper. Even then, it shift again within a day or two of fixing it. Also, the entire topper shifts down on the mattress, leaving a gap at head of the bed between the topper and our headboard that our pillows sink into. It's very annoying to have to disassemble our bed every two days to address this issue. I've never had this issue with normal memory foam. We blamed our mattress and bed frame until we finally took the topper off and were shocked that the bed actually feels supportive without the topper. As I said, I've used normal memory foam toppers for years and never had these issues. Definitely not for us. On the upside, it definitely stays cool. That's about the only positive thing I have to say about it.
First of all my husband thinks it's ok. I hate it. It is not comfortable and I sleep terrible. For some reason this topper does not fit my king bed properly. Pulled to the top of the mattress there is about 5 inches short at he end.It creeps down in the night and my pillow falls in the crack. It bunches up in certain places and we have to readjust it daily. I was really hoping this was as good as I had read about through other reviews. So disappointing that now I have to spend more money on something else so I can get a decent nights sleep. Wish I'd kept my old one. This was not inexpensive and wish I had done more research.
My mother, gave these to many of my siblings for birthdays and anniversaries. We all love them! The only problem, it makes me want to stay in bed longer because I am sooooo comfortable.
Made hard mattress more comfortable but not cooling

Verified Purchase:Yes
We have a tempurpedic mattress that is too firm after my back surgery and hip issues so we purchased this mattress topper. It does give comfort on top of the mattress but it is not cooling. It can get hot (more than the mattress itself) after a few hours. I was hoping it would help with being too hot at night. Overall, it is worth buying if you need extra cushion but if cooling is your top priority then I'm not sure spending the extra money for the cooling one is worth it. Also, the mattress topper itself slides on the mattress. I'm not sure if it is because of the topper cover than comes with it but it definitely moves more than it should.
