We've had our tempurpedic classic now for almost 3 months. I've noticed that when I wake up the area underneath my back and buttocks is somewhat warm. Not burning hot, but just warm. I was wondering if there is any solution to this. I'm thinking of ordering this mattress protector Protect-a-Bed Premium (to protect the mattress):

I was wondering how it will affect the feel and warmth of my tempurpedic. Will it make it warmer or less warm?
Thanks! |

Are you using the wool mattress barrier here?

From the pictures, it looks like a flat sheet. Does it encase the mattress? |

http://www.holylamborganics.com/mattress_tops.html#Anchor-HAPP-51226 It's the "Moisture barrier". A "thin wool sheet" is an accurate description. The pictures on the web site are accurate. I have it under a 20 year old cheap mattress pad. |

I'm using a Protect-a-Bed premium mattress protector on my iComfort memory foam bed. It's the really thin layer with terry surface. I haven't felt too hot in the bed. My hunch is the iComfort sleeps a tiny bit warmer than a conventional bed, but it's not much. |

I have it under a 20 year old cheap mattress pad. http://www.snuggledown.com/s/catalog/st_geneve/st_dormeir_wool_mattress_protectors/?ref_src=froogle It is cheaper ($168 vs. $195). The St. Dormeir is a quilted mattress pad with cotton on top and has elastic sides to hold it to the mattress. Not sure which one is better. There is a thread on this somewhere on the forum.

Hey Try the cooling mattress pad by Gilligan & Ferneman, can be found at Amazon.com or http://www.coolingmattress.com It has outlast material in it that is temperature regulating, so when your body gets warm it will absorb some of that heat and help you sleep cooler. Awesome, i cant live without it now!

If that mattress protector is made with materials such as carbon fibers that afford a high level of thermal conductivity, it would absorb more heat and allow less heat to enter the memory foam. Heat transfer across materials of high thermal conductivity occurs at a faster rate than across materials of low thermal conductivity. Foam is a material that is not very thermally conductive 0.03W/(m·K). or less so it or will not pull heat away from the body efficiently, as well as dissipate heat even less. Unfortunately not many mattress protectors offer performance fabrics. You can try. What i would do is add 1" of 19 IFD latex between your body and the memory foam. |
