Cooling Gel Mattress Topper - Bed Cooling Mattress Pad to Help You Stay Cool - Silent, Comfortable, Effective Long Lasting Heat Relief (Twin 80 Inches x 39 Inches)

I was so excited to receive this pad! I slept on it for five nights and, each night woke several times drenched in sweat and having to change everything. The pad feels like it been replaced with bath water.When you first get into bed, the pad is nice and cool but it’s warm to touch after about 1/2 hour where you’ve slept while other areas remain cool. The company generously gives you thirty days to try it out. I really like that about the company.It just didn’t work for me.

I am getting my pad delivered tomorrow. I WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW AFTER A FEW DAYS USE AND THEN AFTER A MONTH. I am an insomniac so I have about 3,000 tools and torture devises made with intention to help me fall or stay asleep. Millions of things. If this works as stated, it could be a life changer for me, as my long term sustained massive lack of sleep is damaging my life in a lot of ways over the past 2 years.What I don’t understand, is why this particular branded product was so incredibly hard to find on Amazon. I put in probably 100 different search term combinations, and somehow I only found this one time. Many of them were popping up in every search term but this one was extremely difficult to find, as it’s the only one that’s made out of those gel packs squares covering the entire surface. That’s what I was looking for exactly, but if this one wouldn’t have popped up I would have been slightly more difficult.So many bed topper companies claim that their foam or latex or bamboo or whatever is extremely cooling material or has a cooling property of the function of the bed topper, and in my experience, they really have felt other than making a softer surface from what your mattress was. More than cushiony soft feel, I just need to feel cold. I’m not at menopause yet, with hot flashes, but I imagine it will be brutal, as right now I’m so hot all of the time due to a medical condition that I have been suffering from, and it is pretty brutal to be hot all the time, especially when you wake up and you can’t cool down so you can’t fall back asleep very easily.I’m really hoping this works something amazingly and that it will be the best money I ever spent on one of these kind of devices.Update 1:I just unpacked this and it feels very jelly like and extremely cold to the touch. My mother said that it’s very thin for a mattress pad and I told her to stop being a doubter. I don’t need a thick, cushy cover, I need a little drop of softness and a lot of cooking power. I will update more.Update 2:I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I thought because it was so thin (about 1/2 inch thick) that I’d need to buy another 2-3” mattress pad/topper to go underneath this gel pad, but after a few nights, I realized that it wouldn’t be necessary. The thin gel pad adds just enough softness for me to not feel the hard areas of my coil hybrid mattress where it’s sunken it from use and help my joints not ache from those heavy use areas anymore. It does soak up your body heat, and it dispersed it, but it never gets warmer than your body or the air or whatever like memory foam does. It is like a neutral temperature in the areas where you’ve been lying on for hours and just a tiny drop to the side of your body it’s slightly cooler and then 2 inches away it’s completely cold. So I naturally wake up to shift around anyway, and when I do that, I move to the next logical cool area, just a few inches, nothing requiring more effort than my usual tossing, and it’s enough to make me fall back asleep without slowly awakening more and more and being in uncontrolled heat with no relief. So yeah, I’ve slept a LOT better since I began using this 3 weeks ago. Worth it 100%. I’ll update again in a few months.UPDATE 3: Been about 2 months now, and this was definitely a worthy purchase. The only other brand that sells a gel filled pad layer is Malouf (they make all my of pillows, I love cold gel), and theirs is like 2.5x the price of this. And I’m sure it would function the same, except it’s 3” instead of a 1/2”. But again, I don’t need a thick cloud of soft cushion, I needed a tiny softness and a lot of cold. This does develop hot patches like some buyers have complained about, hotter than I’d originally thought at your waist area where your largest and most deeply falling into the bed section of area is and the heaviest weight of your butt/hips, and it doesn’t really get hot by my legs of chest or arms or head. So naturally I wake up 2-3 times a night on a good night to move to the other side (I’m a side sleeper, left/right tossing), and I just love my butt/hips like 4 inches over and the hot patch cools down and the 4 inches over provides a very cool new area to fall back asleep on, then when I wake up to turn again, the original area is for sure cold by that time. I’ve slept better with this than I have in a very long time, stretches of 6-9 hours without waking. The hot patches do not wake me up, as they are between body and room temp, about 83 degrees I’d say, I keep my house at 70, and so while it feels hot, it’s only so because it’s about 15 degrees less than my body heat but hotter than the cold areas of the pad which are closer to room temp, maybe 70 degrees I’d say. Capturing that cold is all that matters. I sleep with my husband in a king, he didn’t want any part of this, so I got a twin and it’s absolutely a 100% perfect fit. Because it’s under an inch thick, you can’t visually see it except for a very slight line vertically down the middle of the bed. You can’t see the squares under a sheet. If I move to his side or he moves to me side, cuddle time, it’s fine and barely noticeable. Feels like a soft sheet or something got a wrinkle in it (the divet from the vertical line is what I mean, the feeling of that if you lie on the middle of a king with a twin of this on one side). Just saying in case anyone is concerned. I’m so thankful that my sleep has improved. This company should make more mattress pads with these true gel pads (I can’t stand all of those memory foam mattress pads with ’cooling gel’ mixed in with the foam in molecules, I just want pure gel and no foam! It’s on top my my head pillow, it’s on top of my body pillow, it’s on top of my travel pillow, I have it everywhere. Nonsense ventilated cooling memory foam is a lie. I want genuine cooling gel cubes like this. Also, I got myself a bamboo bedsheet, and it’s helped a lot with the hot patches on this product. Ventilates better and quicker, and it feels as close to silk as you can get without gross polyester sheets. I had cotton and the difference to bamboo viscose is super noticeable. Even my cotton sateen felt dull and not nearly as soft as a cheaper and organic bamboo sheet. I have bamboo for my body pillow cover and my fitted sheet, and and silk for my head pillow. So, for hot people, this is the best sleep I’ve found, those sheets on this gel pad mattress, plus a gel pad body pillow (there are only like 2 brands that make them, again, we need more options), plus a Malouf brand head pillow, which is expensive but again soooooooooo worth it, I take this giant queen size 5 pound head pillow with me to hotels plus my silk sleeping bag to try and get as quality cold sleep as I do at hone, except hotel rooms are colder so fortunately I don’t need the body pillow and cooling mattress pad, just the head pillow and silk body bag, hahaha, or else my husband would refuse to travel with my if I needed one entire suitcase for bedding at a hotel! Haha!Anyway, this is WORTH IT WITHOUT A DOUBT! GET IT FOR YOURSELF - YOU DESERVE IT!

This mattress topper is interesting. When first placed on the bed it is noticeably cool; however, it quickly absorbs and retains your body heat. As a result, about an hour after laying on the topper, you need to change positions. Rather than radiating heat outward into the gel as described, heat is retained directly under your body. If you wind down in bed by reading or watching TV before going to sleep, that time in bed will warm the gel enough to be uncomfortable when it's time for lights out.If you're a hot restless sleeper and you don't mind changing sleeping positions frequently, there is a chance this could work for you under the following conditions.1. You sleep alone in a larger bed (queen or king)2. You don't mind waking up enough to change positions every hour or twoIf this is your situation, you could feasibly use this topper for relief. Each hour or two, you would simply swap positions to the other half of the bed. This would allow your former sleeping position to cool back to room temperature while you warmed the topper in the new position. If you don't sleep alone, it is unlikely that there will be enough room to roll around and find a cool spot throughout the night. It's a great concept, but for us, it fails in practice.

We have an older tempur-pedic mattress (we call temper-heated) that sleeps way too hot and miserable. Since summer is here, we’ve been mattress shopping. Just before we were about to spend $5K+ on a new mattress, we stumbled across this cooling gel topper. It came double boxed and the quality is outstanding. The fit is just perfect (ordered king size) and we laid an additional breathable bamboo mattress pad over the top, then the flat sheet. It’s only the first night but so far we’re very impressed and hopefully just saved lots of money! The pad isn’t too thick but it’s very heavy and effective. We may try it without the bamboo pad on the top of it to see if there is any difference. We will update our review after more nights.Update 7/8/2019 - We have now had this 30 days and decided to keep it. It made a huge difference. It is cool when getting into bed and will increase to a neutral temp after time under your body but never gets uncomfortably warm. We keep the inside temp of our home around 74 degrees. Before this topper we would have to drop the temp down to 68 degrees to stay comfortable all night. This will definitely pay for itself over time.

I bought the queen topper, as the gel looks similar to what is on the technogel bed that I wanted to buy. My latex mattress I settled on it is a little warm. So for summer I thought this might be good. It is really nice and cold for a few hours, after that, I wouldn't say it is hotter than normal, but just not the coolness during the first part of the night. It was a little too chilly for my partner, so when put it under two thin fitted sheets and it is still pretty nice and cool. Was thinking of buying a twin for my side of the queen bed to have directly under me. I do find that it really helps with my inflamed joints. I don't have hot flashes but I have a lot of back and neck problems and the coolness of this seems to help with the inflammation. So I am happy about that. Gel pads like these are expensive in general, so I think this pad is decent at a good price point. I would recommend and def purchase again for other beds or one more layer under me.

I like that the mattress topper is so cool when I get into bed.It stays cool for about 4 hours.I wish it could last a couple more hours. But it was definitely worth my money.

This product works for us. It didn't come with any instructions, and we started by having it on our bed with the gel side facing up (under the sheets). This made for a blissfully cool start to the night, but it quickly warmed up with body heat, and we found ourselves squirming around to find cool spots. Since then, we turned it the other way up, so the gel side faces down towards the bed. With it set that way, it doesn't feel as cold when the night starts, but it distributes our heat better so that we stay cool for much longer.These are quite heavy, so I would recommend two twins over a king or queen size.
