Does the Performance Mattress Pad actually keep you cool?

It uses temperature-regulating fabric and was named "Best Cooling" by Good Housekeeping. Many owners say it sleeps cooler than a bare mattress, but some hot sleepers still find it warm.

How much padding does it add?

It is a thin pad, so it softens the surface slightly rather than changing the mattress's firmness. Shoppers wanting deep pressure relief should look at a thicker topper.

Will it stay in place on the bed?

Most owners say it stays put under a fitted sheet. Some report it shifting or bunching, especially on smooth mattresses.

No. It is a cooling comfort layer, not a mattress protector, so it will not stop spills from reaching the mattress.

Can I machine-wash it?

Yes. Owners wash it routinely and report it holds up well.

Hot sleepers and anyone who wants a cooler, slightly softer surface without buying a new mattress. It is not the pick for spill protection or deep cushioning.
