Hi jbril,
While other people’s comments about the knowledge and service of a particular business can certainly be very helpful … I would always keep in mind that you are the only one that can feel what you feel on a mattress and I would be cautious about about using anyone else’s suggestions, experiences or reviews on a specific mattress (either positive or negative) or review sites in general as a reliable source of information or guidance about how you will feel on the same mattress or how suitable or how durable a mattress may be for you. In many if not most cases they can be more misleading than helpful because a mattress that would be a perfect choice for one person or even a larger group of people in terms of comfort, firmness, and PPP may be completely unsuitable for someone else to sleep on (even if they are in a similar weight range). In other words … reviews or other people’s experiences in general won’t tell you much if anything about the suitability, quality, durability, or “value” of a mattress for any particular person (see post #13 here).
This can be particularly true in the case of sleeping temperature because of all the many variables involved (see my reply in your other topic here) and you will find that even on the warmest mattresses only a minority of people will have significant temperature regulation issues. It would be risky to make any assessment of the sleeping temperature of any particular mattress based on one person’s experience because you could end up excluding a mattress that someone sleeps warm on that would do a great job of regulating temperature for you or conversely you could end up choosing a mattress that doesn’t regulate temperature nearly as well for you as it does for someone else.
The only way to know for certain whether any mattress (in combination with your mattress protector and sheets and bedding) will keep you in a neutral temperature range in your particular sleeping environment will be based on your own personal experience. In the case of Novosbed they have a great trial period so you can use your own experience to assess the sleeping temperature of the mattress rather than using someone else’s experience that may be very different from your own.
