I took the advice of many here and got a cuddle ewe this time last year. I love it. I live in the deep south of Georgia, so it is HOT! I'm also a hot sleeper. This doesn't make me hot, yeah...a wool under blanket doesn't make me hot. It is nice. I got a waterproof, breathable mattress pad cover to protect it. Wool doesn't like water/moisture. I fluff it when I change the sheets and rotate it. That is all. It has made my mattress, now some 11 years old, new again. I also have a 2" memory foam topper, 4lb foam, under that. This way I get the benefit of both, without the new mattress. I will also look into the Helix and the Classic Brands Gramercy 14" Cool Gel Memory Foam & Innerspring Mattress. The Wayfair price on the Gramercy one is way better than on Amazon or any others, which is nice for a change with free shipping!
