Is it 'breathable" -as cool as w/out a pad- or are you more likely to wake up 'sweaty' &amp; hotter than w/out any pad or mattress-cover?

I bought this cover because our new mattress made me so HOT. It did NOT breathe. Now......with this new cover, I sleep cool and comfy. It's very soft and the material breathes great. No more night sweats. It did exactly what I wanted it to....I VERY highly recommend if you need a cooler surface to sleep on.

I am 100% pleased with this mattress pad. My mattress is a breathable one and really excellent. I do not wake up hot at all. Also the mattress pad does not creep around......totally stays put which I really like. Good value and a good choice. Go for it.

I have not found this mattress to be hot. That was always a worry I had too. I already had a topper with the "cooling" technology and I have put that on top of this mattress. I am also in the age group where I tend to pull the sheet off and back on a few times in the night even with my topper. I got something called a Chillow a few years ago and if I feel a warm trend starting I put my arm or leg on it and it truly does cool you down.

I use cotton sheets, and my room stays pretty cool, but does get afternoon sun....I haven't noticed feeling hotter than a normal mattress. I do get very hot in my sleep, but I always have. Sooooo this answer really may not help! Tried my best! ;-)

I get really hot when I sleep too and I sweat under this comfort but not as bad as I did when we had a heavier one. Hope this helps.

Julian, I purchased this comforter a month ago and if you are looking for something breathable this is the one to get! Not too heavy or hot at all. Very well made. You will be happy with it! Might I also suggest you look at getting bamboo sheets. After much research, we also purchased this at the same time and I could not be happier with the quality and results. The sheets feel like satin and keep us cool all night. Apparently they have a wicking property that lets heat escape. Still haven't found a pillow that actually works yet in keeping my head from getting too hot. (I've tried them all!)

I have noticed no difference in temperature since putting this on my mattress. It is still very breathable so I guess that would mean it does stay cool.

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!

Very breathable. Have not noticed any temperature change at all. Makes the mattress so much more comfortable. Back feels better since sleeping on it. No complaints. It's all good!

My brother-in-law did not complain about getting sweaty. These mattresses have a padded/zippered cover over them so you are not sleeping directly on the foam. Another reviewer had mentioned that they did not experience overheating on these like they did on other memory foam mattresses. Hope that helps.

I love the feel but I have it under my mattress pad and sheet. Does not feel hot. I am not using it because I have a child (so I can not say anything about being waterproof!), just using it because I wanted good protection for my new mattress.

I haven't experienced any discomfort from it heating up and it has not caused me to sweat. It is overall a pretty good Mattress pad. I supplemented it with an 1 1/2 inch thick, 5 zone gel foam pad.

I just have it on while playing golf however, I could imagine that wearing it while sleeping would be comfortable. I don't think it would be hot or sweaty at all while sleeping.

Yes, I feel it is breathable.... It is like a thin terry cloth material on the outside. (Very thin plastic on the inside) We put the fitted sheet over it and its fine!

It feels like a mixture of down alternative with a touch of gel in the material. I say this because when you move to an area not already warm from your body it has that sensation. I love mine and have never slept better. This thing is very warm once your body heat has warmed it up and I need very few covers, even on the coldest night. Hope this helps!

Hey! I am one of those sleepers who hates getting hot...and I haven't noticed any change in feeling warmer using this pad.

Not due to heater, but I have to say that the material made me hot. I put it on the bed this year without plugging it in because the plushness of the pad feels so nice, but I woke up with whatever side was making contact with the bed all sweaty. This happened every night for a week before I took it off and then I didn't sweat anymore. It is really plush and nice, but I guess it doesn't breathe very well. Everyone is different though, and this is just my experience. It might be fine for you.
