Does this mattress vent heat well? Or would I need to get a cooling gel topper?

Yes it does until I had to get a waterproof cover for the kid and the vinyl did not vent it well at all

My mattress that I bought this for is a memory foam, and it does not make me hot. So I would recommend it.

I bought a new mattress, it's really comfortable but its on the hot side I bought this mattress topper and it helped cool down the mattress I would highly recommend purchasing one

I have a mattress pad on top of it & it doesn't get hot at all. In fact, thats one of the things I love about it!

My pop has been sleeping on this topper for about 6 weeks and he has not complained of getting too hot. It is designed not to get too hot and is a great topper. Takes about 2 days airing out flat to lose the new smell. I think it would be an inexpensive fix for u and worth a try. My Dad is using this on a twin adjustable foam hospital bed and it works great.

It sleeps a little warm but not like the old type which had no gel or air holes and was really warm to sleep on. Yes it will help with back pain if you put this topper on your mattress, it does for me. Mike

I am also a hot sleeper, but do not find that this mattress keeps things cooler. The mattress topper is so nice to sleep on though.

We actually bought the gel to stay cool but it doesnt work. Bed still gets hot at night. The only thing the gel pad provided was more padding and we already have a memory foam mattress so that was of no help to us.

I don't know; I had no trouble with my bed being too hot (it is not a foam), and I did not notice any temperature change with the mattress topper.

Make the room a little cooler wherever the mattress is. It's a trick I learned when I got tempurpedic.

I didn't cover my mattress instead I bought Organic Wool Topper, It works both ways keeps you cool in the summer & warm in the winter.

I find this matress does tend to be warmer in the summer. I use a very thin mattress pad to isolate the heat.

This topper does not have any air vents; however, it does sleep cool with because of the gel cell technology that makes wider struts in the foams cellular make up that help to facilitate air flow.

The gel is just some little blue beads scattered throughout the foam. I don't think it makes much difference one way or the other. This is our first mattress topper, so I don't really know if non-gel would be warmer.

I have had the topper a couple weeks. So far, it isn't too warm. I have an older mattress and the topper gives my bed just the right fluffiness...not too much and not too little. I can understand the concern of the bed being too warm. I think sheets that are cooler to the touch would make the difference. I also purchased a duvet insert. I chose the medium fill. This may be too warm in the summer. If it is, I may try a different cover before I invest in another duvet. Hope this helps!

Hi Deanie, I am not sure if or how it it is vented. I keep mine in my walk-in crawl space so it gets hot here. Never seen it swell. Dan

This particular mattress has GEL in the memory foam that makes it cooler to sleep on. It is not just plain memory foam. Those mattresses cost less money than this one. It is not hot to sleep on.
