Memory Foam Heat Warning - Memory Foam Mattress Topper
If you live in a warmer climate and have a memory foam mattress topper this might cause the area where you sleep to become too soft. Memory foam mattress toppers are suppose to distribute your weight to protect your pressure points, but when the room temperature is too warm the foam will contour to your body more than normal. One top of that, if you are suffering from hot flashes it may hold in more heat exasperating the problem, this is due to fact that more of your body is touching the mattress than exposed to air.
The following has been recommended to alleviate the heat problem; use a breathable terry cloth cover which acts as a light barrier between you and the memory foam mattress topper and allows air to flow keeping you cooler. Keep the room temperature set at 65 degrees or less, if possible. Don’t sleep with your pets as they will add extra heat. Don’t add extra blankets.
If you are thinking of buying a memory foam mattress topper and you are concerned with the heat warning make sure you deal with a retailer that has a return policy. Some retailers will offer a trial period of 30-90 days with a guarantee for a full refund.
