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

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!

I wish I'd bought the smaller ones, because wow do these things cool you down! Too much! Don't lie on these directly skin-to-pad because you will stick to it and get uncomfortable. Don't stay on them too long because they'll heat up to your body temp and be ineffective. I highly highly recommend buying two smaller ones, not one large one, not only because they're dense and unwieldy, but so that you can switch off and allow one to cool you off while the other sits over there somewhere and dissipates its collected body heat. Also, you'll have more control over how much of your body is chilled at once. And if you buy more than one, you can put one in your dog's bed and help your pup cool off too. And I wonder...if I buy a small enough pad, could I maybe ALWAYS have a nice cool pillow???

Many of these reviews are from women who understably need relief from hot flashes. What I think is lacking are comments from men. Lets face it guys we want the temperature much lower then the ladies begining early in life. I purchased this pad over 2 years ago becuase I find it difficult to go to sleep hot. Yes without the pad eventually my core temperture drops as I relax and stop moving but for me this can take 2 hours. My research found several devices that appear would provide relief but many were very $. I bought this pad based on ths reviews and overall I agree with most of the comments. I lay the pad on by bed on top of the sheet. When I first lay down the cold sensation is little shocking but very quickly I begin to enjoy it and I start to relax. I now look forward to laying down because the relif is instant. Yes the pad does not stay cold and yes it can get a little warm but I find the pad pulls the heat from my body and stores it within the pad. This doesn't bother me becuase what happens is I begin to get cold and the pad begin to provide relief from the cold. Just writing this sounds crazy because I am always hot but it works. Give it try.

Works pretty well, but doesn’t last very long. It is triggered by pressure, so you have to lay on it for it to work. It does feel cool, not cold. The mat stays cool for a while, then it isn’t as comfortable. It doesn’t get hot, but definitely not cool. But that was noted in the description. For sleeping, it covers about a quarter of a full size bed. Try to position it so you can roll on and off to allow it to reactivate. Mat is quite heavy so it doesn’t shift too much while you are turning over. Cheaper than a room air conditioner, worth a try!

This cooling pad has been an absolute game-changer for me during menopause. Since I don’t accept hormonal therapy, finding natural and effective relief from hot flashes and night sweats has been a challenge—until now. The pressure-activated gel provides instant cooling the moment I lie down, and it genuinely helps regulate my body temperature throughout the night. I love that it doesn’t need to be plugged in or frozen; it just works on its own. The cooling effect is soothing, not shocking, and it helps me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer without waking up drenched in sweat. The pad is comfortable, well-made, and fits perfectly on my bed without shifting around. If you’re experiencing menopausal hot flashes or night sweats and are looking for a non-hormonal solution, I highly recommend this cooling pad. It’s simple, effective, and has significantly improved my sleep quality and overall comfort.

Here's an honest review. Does it STAY cool? No. It ladt about 5- 10 minutes. I move my head to one side and when it's not cool anymore slide to other end. Once it's hot from your body heat I put it aside and in 10 mi uses or so it's cool again. I also bought the full body one. Best described as cool sheets you move to a cool spot,,when it's not cool, move. They are both GREAT PRODUCTS IF YOURE REASONABLE IN KNOWING WHAT IT DOES. YES, it's cold or " cool" - I can actually sleep through horrible hot flashes I get from my cancer medications. Don't listen to bad reviews, nothing is going to STAY COLD forever. This is great, buy 2, have cold sleep all the time. Alternate them! GREAT PRODUCT

I would love to return this item but I see I am 5 days too late. I have tried to use it for my hot flashes at night but after a couple of hours the item seems to hold my heat and I wake up hotter than before. If there is still a way to return and refund, please let me know. I appreciate Amazon and your products. Peggy Shepherd

At first this pad didn’t seem to keep cool very long but I realized it works enough for me. This pad is thin but a really large size, and surprisingly heavy (so it doesn’t move around I am guessing). It goes from my shoulders to my knees and is extremely chilly when I first lay on it. I have had this pad for 5 months now and keep it on top of my fitted sheet, laying right on it. I sleep very hot and when I first lay on it, it’s chilly but soon warms. My body must chill some too as I fall asleep without the tossing and turning to get off the hot spots. I have bought different mattresses but same problem. So I am relieved to finally get some full nights sleep! Some nights I still toss and this pad does get warm but at least I don’t have to put it in the freezer. It will just recharge and I just bring an ice pack, large soft one, in bed too for backup. I hope this helps someone else having a hard time sleeping hot!
