You think getting up your stairs is hard now? Wait until you get to my age. You're still a young pup.
I didn't even know gel was a thing. I have a wool mattress that has a latex core which I love. It's not 'cooling' per se, but definitely not hot in summer. (I have a real aversion to synthetic stuff in my bed.) However, I'm beginning to suspect it's not great for my back.
If the heat thing is related to hot flashes etc, have you tried magnesium? I started taking it at the beginning of the year, and it's really helped. Also makes me less stabby, which is a bonus. (Well, a bonus for everyone else.)
They were fun.
And, I slept well, too.
Thought we were roughly same age! Im 51.
Ohhhhh, I thought you were in your late 30s.

As you can imagine, it gets bloody hot here. I use a blanket during the winter, but most of the year I sleep in me birthday suit with sheets only. Cotton sheets. When it's really hot I set the aircon at around 18-20 degrees on night mode, so I can barely hear it, and I shower right before bed. Sometimes I shower 4-5 times a day. I like to hop under the water and cool down and get out. I find I'm a lot more comfortable that way. But everyone has their own way. You have to find what works for you.

Has any one got one? Opinions? I need a new mattress and someone said these were fab.
Geppetto, chill out before you jump in here bedsplaining.

I have a Lucid gel memory foam mattress. It's medium firmness and it's the best. It actually does sleep cooler, too.
