Review (3/5): Barely so-so
This arrived folded in half. I noted the gel is in one half, the other half is flat. I had to gently squish gel to the flat side and now both sides have gel. This pad is smaller than I was hoping it would be based on the picture, but that is my fault.
The second thing I noticed is that is doesn't automatically stay at room temp for long. It quickly heated up. This won't work. The other mats I had stayed cool, this one need to be placed in the fridge to cool enough to last longer than aprox 20 minutes. That is pointless for my use, I am not trumping downstairs to retrieve it from the fridge if I need it in the middle of the night. The other ones I purchased from a different company cooled on their own by being left in the air. These ones get cool, but they do not stay cool for long enough.
I have been using two pads and trading them when one gets warm. The pads have around 20 minutes of coolness before they are body temp, that really is much less than other larger pads. It can help with the hot flashes that come and go or the time between the when the house warms up and the a/c finally kicks in.
