Cotton Mattress Pad

Just got a new memory foam mattress topper and not sure if it will be too hot and unbreathable without the mattress pad.

You will want to buy a good quality matress pad. Because the memory foam toppers increase your body temp by 2-3 degrees at night. So you want something that will keep a fair amount of distance off the foam itself. You could even try a feather bed to go over the foam. Plus those are very comfy and cozy. (like sleeping on a cloud)

I just bought a memory foam pad yesterday for my bed. My mattress is memory foam but it's a little too firm for my liking, so I figured this would make it softer. Last night I slept on the new foam with my original thick cotton mattress pad on top and I don't really think I got the full effects of the foam because of it. So just now I removed the cotton mattress pad and just put my bed sheet over the foam. The problem is you can see through the sheet and see the foam and the holes it has for the temperature. It just doesn't look right. Is it supposed to be like that or should I buy a very thin pad to put on top of the foam? I'm so confused! What is the correct way to put a foam mattress pad on? Right now I just have:

Mattress
Foam Pad
Bed Sheet Over Foam
Then my normal sheet, blanket and duvet cover.

yes i would try a very thin pad ontop and see how you like it.

you can also call the place you got the bed and ask for advice :) they will know what 2 do

I just bought my kids brand new, organic cotton/latex/wool mattresses, but have a big problem.
My son has diabetes and when his blood-sugar is high, he wets the bed. But he WETS the bed. Meaning - a big puddle. Are the natural wool or cotton mattress pads going to work for him?

i would think it would soak thru. i know they are not organic but i worked in a nursing home and used what are called chucks under our residents. they aren't organic but a lot better than plastic. i would think you could find them at any medical supply store.

good luck.

I'm looking to put a cotton mattress pad over my queen size bed.
Are there any good cheap ones that you might know of? Where can I find it?

Problem is I've been uncomfortable with the new matress cause it retains heat so I'm hoping a matress pad will cool it down.

If you have a Linens N Things in your town, try looking there. Most of their stores are going out of business and they are having KILLER sales right now on everything in the stores. They are keeping their doors open long enough to sell of their stock so things are going fast!

I already own a cotton mattress pad I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond, but I want more.

I was staying at the MGM Grand Casino, and their bed felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. I know it was the mattress pad they had. It was the most amazing sleep I have ever gotten.

So I want to know, what could I do to get this kind of sleep here at my apartment? Do I need more than one mattress pad? Do I need to combine different ones together? What are your ideas on this, and what have you all done?

Thanks!

I think the most important part is the mattress itself, rather than the padding. A memory foam mattress might do the trick. A double pillow-top mattress is also wonderfully luxurious.
