I have had my mattress now for 2.5 years. This is my 1st memory foam mattress. Initially I was quite happy but I get extremely hot and there is no cooling element. Even in the midst of winter I'm very hot. I would steer clear orchid mattress especially if you share your bed because you will be sweltering! I initially could not understand why I was so hot and realised it's the mattress. I am now trying to sell it as it is simply not n for me. Buyer beware that you will be extremely hot using this mattress. I understand it's 2.5 yrs since I've had this but still......
