Making a mattress cooler?

gofurr25

My friend has a mattress that is super hot to sleep on. Does anyone know of good sheets, mattress pads, or other ideas to make her bed cooler? Thanks!

I have never heard of that happening.  Is it the material it's made out of?  I have no idea, but now I want to know.

Maybe one of those egg crate things?

I'm the opposite. I want everything warmer but I've never tried to put anything on the mattress. 

I might need it this summer though.

DS's mattress is really hot to sleep on but it's because he has one of those mattress protectors that is plastic on the inside. Do they have one of those on it?

No. It is just a pillow top. She has no protector or mattress pad on it.

I got my mom a Chillo one year for Christmas because she was having hot flashes from menopause. I don't know if she ever used it though, so I don't know how good it is.

 As for staying warm, I LOVE our flannel sheets from Target. No cold spots when you get in.

We got one of these from target a few years ago.  They no longer carry it, but I found one at JCPenney.

We got an ISOcool mattress cover from Denver Mattress that I think really helps. It doesn't cool down the mattress, it's supposed to regulate your body temp. I get really hot and DH gets really cold and it's been a bit better since getting this.

I'm so buying one of these AND the chillo thing.  I now realize why people buy one story homes in TX - it's too effing hot in the summer, especially on the 2nd floor!
