Did not keep me cool. Granted, that is a tall order. I am a menopausal woman who has gnarly night sweats. I also have a Tempur-foam material mattress which is known to absorb and retain. I bought this mattress pad solely to stop me from catching on fire every night and spontaneously combusting. I put a lot of stock in the reviews but I have to say, I think the reviews that say it keeps you cool are fake as styrofoam teeth. I woke up at least ( no exaggeration) 10 times in the night with this mattress pad, tearing off the blankets and inventing new curse words as I rolled over onto the cool side and laid there waiting to fall back to sleep. That’s real good for your concentration the next day lemme tell ya. I would’ve send it back but it was too late. I do have some suggestions for people in my situation however. First, I ended up buying another mattress pad called Marquis, here on amazon. They claim the same thing, it’s bamboo and supposed to keep you cool. I put it on over this mattress protector and I would say it works about 50% better. Noticeable difference. I can’t say whether it’s better because it has this protector under it so it’s double insulation between me and the mattress, or it’s just a superior product but it did help a lot. The second thing I did was I bought a weighted blanket with tiny glass beads sewn into it. You can get them here on Amazon, and get the ones that are 100% bamboo fabric. They are 20 pounds so they feel nice and heavy, but they really help to keep you cool in the summer and somehow insulate your body heat so you can use them in the winter and stay warm but comfortable. Don’t cheap out and get the ones with the cotton cover, you want the bamboo; it’s cooler. Next I got a fan and put it right by the bed and have it turned on me all night. Finally there’s a product on Amazon, I haven’t purchased it, but it’s a mattress pad that you can fill with water and have it electronically chilled with a little machine by your bed. it has very high reviews. I didn’t get it because so far what I’m doing is working good enough for me. I still wake up a few times but nothing like before. If you’re reading this review, And looking for a pad to keep you cool I would deep 6 this mattress pad. I would buy the Marquis pad and see if that works for you on its own. Read more

This really works! To my surprise and dismay, I found out that many so-called "waterproof" bed covers really aren't, but this one is! I tested it, as the photos show. The paper towel at the bottom of the pot was still completely dry after an hour! Read more

I've been using this pad on both of my 3 and 5 year-old kids' beds for over a year and was very pleased- until today. My kids are both still nighttime bedwetters. They wear pull-ups and as parents know, pull-ups leak. Sometimes a lot. Until recently the mattress pads had worked great. I really liked them. They're soft, lightweight and had stood up to frequent washing due to the frequency of pull-ups leaking. I probably have to wash a mattress pad about every week, sometimes twice a week, and they'd never leaked. Until now. My daughter peed in her bed last night while wearing a new kind of natural reusable pull-up (sorry SuperUndies, but that Hero Superundie failed big time). To my surprise the pee soaked RIGHT THROUGH the mattress pad onto her nice foam Tuft & Needle mattress. Ugh. I realized when I tried to soak it up that there was already another pee spot there. So the pee had leaked through the pad at least once before but I ddn't know it. Since there's no way to clean the foam mattress it's a loss unless we want to put up with a pee odor, which I don't. So if you truly have a need for a waterproof mattress pad, unfortunately this isn't it. I have this same Red Nomad pad on my king size mattress in addition to the one on my other child's twin bed. Although those haven't leaked I'm planning to replace them before they do. I don't know if my frequent washing may have worn off the waterproof coating on the pad but I do always wash in cold without bleach and with a gentle detergent.This was disappointing because I really liked these pads! Now I need to find a truly waterproof mattress pad before I lose another mattress. Read more

We just purchased a Leesa foam mattress bed and I've been struggling with it because of the heat I feel while sleeping. Although the company states there is a layer of “something” preventing that hot feeling - don't believe'em. It's a hot bed. In addition, even one month later, I still smell the foam. So I stumbled upon this pad having good reviews with a cool feature even though the box doesn't really promote a cooling effect. I'm happy to report it worked for me. I'm not sure how it keeps me cool. I suspect it might have to do with the plastic underlay that touches your mattress. Maybe that barrier keeps my body heat and the foam from reacting. I’m not really sure what “cool flow tech” means, but it doesn’t appear that there’s anything in this mattress pad that provides the cooling feature. So any negative reviews are probably expecting some sort of cold laying experience. Short of buying a cooling pump mattress pad which sells for hundreds of dollars, I'm not sure what these people expect at this price point. But it absolutely without a doubt kept me from feeling the heat of the mattress. It also has a nice thickness to it, giving me more comfort because I didn't feel the actual mattress underneath. Although I won't go as far as to suggest this mattress pad has a Cooling effect, if you have a foam mattress it might keep you cool”er”. Bonus foam smell is gone! Read more

I purchased this for my new memory foam/inner spring hybrid mattress. I love it!I was apprehensive about getting a mattress protector. I get very hot, very quickly. I am also a light, restless sleeper. I have not had any issues with this mattress protector retaining heat, at all, and it doesn't make a sound on my bed. This is a high quality product at a very reasonable price. Read more

Good price and nice feel. Read more
