I have a crappy polyester comforter and Target Jersey Cotten Sheets, and a $600 10 inch memory foam mattress from Amazon with two memory foam pillows. So - basically everything that would make me overheat. Would adding a Latex Topper to the mix fix a lot of problems? After sweating all winter I'm worried about a toasty summer. I keep my bedroom around 72 F in the summer, and have a ceiling fan on at all times. I need the feeling of blankets on me, but I just get so hot.
-Blankets: I think I'm going to get a duvet cover from target, along with some different (maybe?) cotten bedsheets The jersey sheets have a great feel to them but also have gotten pilly/stretched after a year. -Pillow: I'm completely at a loss here, except that memory foam doesn't seem like a good fit, and I hate it when feathers poke my face. Those Chillow things have reviews that say it only lasts for 5 minutes, and I don't have a lot of fridge space. My main question is in regards to my mattress. I bought this mattress around 2 years ago, and enjoyed it okay. Mostly I liked the price point. It seems to give plenty of support, but it does get extremely warm. Some people recommend buying a wool blanket to put on my mattress under my sheet, but that confuses me because wool is typically very warm, and when I look on Amazon, it usually says "excellent at retaining heat" etc. A lot of people have recommended latex mattress toppers to fix the warmth. But when I look at the latex mattress toppers, most comments/reviews are saying that they put them on a traditional bed, a bed with box springs.
I feel like, if the memory foam is absorbing my heat and reemiting it, wouldn't the same thing happen, but more, with a cushy latex topper? Also, I know nothing about latex toppers, but none of them have amazon prime so returning the topper could be problematic/annoying. This is the topper I was considering. It also comes in soft, medium, or firm, and I'm not sure which I'd prefer. I mean, soft is nice, but the mattress is already medium cushy (firm when cold) so it's quite a hard decision for me. Especially when the topper is the same price as the mattress. There's a few other toppers with similar price points. I can afford as much bed as I need to make me cool, but I don't want to waste money either. So - should I get a topper for my mattress? Should I bite the bullet and buy a new mattress from ikea/mattress store? Will changing the other aspects of my bed help enough to negate the effect of the warm mattress?

No mattress foam pad can cure these problems but what they can do is help prevent bedsores, bring some pain relief and increase comfort during sleep. This, however, doesn't apply to everyone as we're all different and require sleeping surfaces suited to each and every one of us.
But first, here's what you must know about home mattress trials and what makes a good foam mattress. Topper Recommendations from Doctors Many customer say in reviews that memory foam pads have helped them with apnea, fibromyalgia, insomnia as well as back and hip pain. There are no solid studies to back up these claims which is why doctors reserve judgment and many choose not to recommend memory foam mattress toppers as medical treatment. This doesn't mean that they don't work, it just means scientific proof is yet to be found that they do. Egg crate foam toppers, on the other hand, have been known to receive more endorsement from doctors, especially since many hospitals use this type of pad for recently operated patients. Some doctors even suggest that patients take the egg-crate mattress topper home and continue sleeping on it after being discharged from hospital. The convoluted shape of these foam toppers can prevent and help heal skin ulcers, eliminate bedsores, reduce pressure points, allow air to flow and prevent your body from becoming too hot during sleep (fever is notoriously dangerous for recently operated patients).
Low quality egg crate pads, on the other hand, may be dangerous as they are a source of toxic formaldehyde transmissions. These two types of mattress pads work differently in offering support and comfort. Support is one of the major criteria when buying the right sleeping surface. Visco memory foam toppers provide proper support as long as they are the high-density type, are layered over a firm, flat mattress and is the heat-sensitive type. Egg crate pads, unlike memory toppers, cannot, on their own, offer proper support since they are very light and thin at the dips. It all depends on the kind of mattress they are placed on. The foam pad will offer necessary support and proper neck and spine alignment if placed on top of a firm mattress. Health care specialists say that to be labeled as providing pressure relief, a mattress has to have the pressure of 32mmHg or lower, whereas pressure reduction performance is agreed to occur between 32mmHg and 50mmHg. Good quality visco memory foam toppers like Tempur-Pedic overlays were shown to reduce average pressure to around 15 mmHg from nearly 30 mmHg.
We couldn't find any numbers related to the pressure exerted by an eggcrate mattress pad on the body, but considering its shape and doctor-endorsements, we believe that these toppers do relieve pressure points. Allergy And Topper Choice Just like there are no allergy-free mattresses, there are no regular allergy-free pads (except for the ones manufactured especially for people suffering from allergies). Since egg crate mattress pads are also made of foam, they are just as prone to host dust mites as memory foam toppers are, even though foam is generally not a source of food in itself. The only way to keep dust mites out from your mattress topper, be it the memory foam or egg crate type, is to use dust-mite resistant encasings and covers. When I laid on it, I couldn't imagine anyone wanting memory foam. Once on it, I could barely move and turning over was a real challenge. I also could see how this could get very warm at night. The mattress was firm and soft at the same time (as advertised), and we woke up with our backs feeling all springy and stretched out.
We did notice that the temperature of the bed was warmer than with our old mattress, but taking off one layer of blanket solved that problem. We also could let the house get colder in the winter nights which might save energy, though to be honest, we didn't track it. My wife now sleeps through the entire night. It did not heal her back, it just provides great support to assist her in obtaining a good night's sleep. The material forms/molds to the body like a parent holding an infant child. I tried an egg crate mattress recently with my 9 mo. because she refluxes and has a hard time sleeping. I thought it might help her. My Foam Mattress Has Memory! A Critical Eye On The Latest Mattress Technologies Authenticity TestHow can you check if your purchase as good as a true Tempur-Pedic bed? You can try the wine glass test, the egg test, or the fridge test. Top Memory Foam ComplaintThe most commonly reported problem consumers have with memory foam mattresses is that they sleep hotter when compared to conventional sleeping surfaces.
