I have a posturpedic bed topper that is 5 inches thick and I don't know if its me(age, hot flashes) but I wake up every morning burning up...I love it so much that I don't want to take it off, but it does get hot, it may be great this winter waiting to see...Good Luck!!! Let me know what you get and if you like it, I am going to get a new mattress soon and it will be interesting to see what you think.....
