Actually I haven't had any problems with getting hot and I also consider myself someone that gets warm when I sleep. Dorsie, you should seriously get a tempurpedic pillow from astrabeds. If not there, somewhere. It has helped me so much. I know it sounds like such a plug, but I really have never slept so good in my life. I used to be able to wake up and be up out of my sleep in literally 30 seconds. I thought that was normal. Now it really takes time to get out of my sleep and when I wake up I can tell that I was in a much deeper sleep. (does that make sense?) It's really strange, but strange in a good way. Anyway, hope this helps! J
