Cool Care Technologies Cooling Pad for Bed - Pressure Activated Gel Provides Instant Relief - Ideal for Fevers, Hot Flashes, Night Sweats

it helps but why is it so expensive? imported no doubt. For me in hot weather it's only cool for 20 minutes but I'm small bodied and only take up half of its width so I roll to one side where it's still cool and let the other side cool down. I don't need to remove it from the bed or turn it over. I just shift around. once I'm asleep it doesn't matter to do that though. So I only bought it as a last resort after trying everything to keep cool in a heatwave. AC would be great but this is simple enough for now Edit a year later: I actually need 2. I keep it in the fridge now because weather is too hot for it to be cool enough. After half hour I would like to replace it with the other cool mat but it's too expensive to buy another

I don’t understand the science behind this thing whatsoever. What I do understand is that this is lovely. All you do is lay down and it’s cold. After about half an hour maybe a little less it’s no longer cold. In fact mine has gotten warm. It’s like it sucks the body heat out of you. The problem is it won’t get cool again until you get off it and let it reset. So don’t put this under your sheets. You will have to take it out constantly. It’s a little heavy. I wouldn’t say it’s unmanageable to fold it up and put it to the side. Personally I think it’s worth the hassle of taking it out of bed to reset itself because when it does it’s absolutely lovely. I’m pretty sure you could stick it in the fridge to make it reset faster but who’s doing that at 2am? So all in all just know that if you get this you will be moving it around. Or if you sleep alone keep it on one side of the bed. Roll over and let it do it’s magical weird sciencey thing.

Es bastante pesado como lo vi en otros comentarios. Pero estos tiempos de calor lo ameritaba

First thing you should know is this sucker is HEAVY! It's heavier and floppier than a weighted blanket. It's like moving a dead body in the middle of the night kinda heavy (Eh....ok...I'm guessing here, really, I have zero actual experience moving corpses nor do I have any plans to. Ew. I promise, this is just a guess, but it is super heavy and impossible to move half awake! Like trying to move your kid after they fall asleep in the car kinda heavy). So do not plan (like I dumbly did) to move it around when you need it. I already had the "pillow" so I thought I could move this. NO way irl. Next thing is it does get hot after a while because it sucks the heat out of you. So if you heat up it's better to have room so YOU can move since this is a heavy slab of flappy corpse (again, guessing, but you get the idea). But suck the heat out of you? Yes indeed. And it's gloriously cold. The other thing is I would not leave it in the bed in the morning. It feels almost damp and I would worry about mold even with my tempurpedic mattress. SO air it all out, but that said it is 100% worth it if you have night sweats or sudden bursts of heat from medicine, medical stuff, or menopause, or are blessed like me and have all the above. So no one else has to suffer with my turning the air to arctic because I suddenly turn into lava or a furnace-like a pizza oven in Florida in August. I slept so well with this! And the heat build up for my aches and stuff is not a bother. It actually felt nice because I go from super hot to freezing. I hope it lasts and will update after a time. Hope that helps!

Awesome product
