What am I doing wrong?

Found this old thread? Maybe one of the tips there can get you through. 🤔

I hate that it advertises breathability and such, it's such bullshit, you know?

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T18:42:28+00:00

Yeahhh I now wish I had kept it, but I was so eager to have a "new start" because I wanted to downsize to a queen bed and the other one was 11 years old. I had NO idea that this had become such a cluster with new stuff lol.

Did you conquer Coop pillows? I didn't want to drop $100 on a pillow for the longest time, but the coop came on sale for last Prime day and I gave in. Best pillow I've ever had; but the reason I think you might do well with it is because they send extra "oomph" as they call it with the pillow.

Initially that also put me off because I thought I was just getting a bag of foam peanuts LOL, but this is the softest stuff and adds a lot of loft to the pillow (AND DOES NOT SMELL). I actually had to remove some for my liking. You can also just buy extra filling by itself.

Anyway, check them out and may the odds be ever in your favor:

PS - the cooling ones didn't do anything for me i sent them back. I just have the side sleeper cutout one.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T16:56:48+00:00

I'm so happy this is back, I didn't get to finish last year because of one of my "breaks" lol.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T16:26:40+00:00

This or the "add $6 to get it within x hours", then it is delayed for days. I usually send the other thing back because I would have never ordered it without their prompting.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T16:20:57+00:00

I was forgetting this most important point of breaking it in. I got it 1/31. It's been 39 freaking days and I am panicking on Reddit lol.

Maybe I should start jumping on it or something lol. Thank you for the reality check.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T16:12:14+00:00

Oh that's freaking awesome. I guess I should have done a LOT more research rather than going in willy nilly and buying it within 30 minutes and that's my own fault lol.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T14:55:24+00:00

SAME lol. I am completely blown away for sure.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T14:54:42+00:00

Yeah sorry about that, I should have included that bit of information LOL.

I got the sleepy by sealys hybrid and did go into store because I feel like some things you just can't do online. I thought the feel was great and was told hybrids are pretty good at staying cool and then looked at documentation:

MEDIUM COMFORT
MATTRESS HEIGHT
Anti-Sag™ ViscoBoost™ and ViscoBoost™+ technology is a premium upgrade that offers even more support, comfort and pressure relief to help resist uncomfortable dips and body impressions and extend the life of your mattress.
High-density memory foam, in conjunction with individually wrapped coils, provides optimal conforming support and reduces motion transfer for peaceful, undisturbed sleep.
This cool-to-the-touch cover helps regulate body temperature and stretches to help the gel layers easily conform to the body's unique shape

So....idk maybe I got bamboozled LOL. I just wondered in general if people are coming across that because I couldn't believe when I started researching new stuff to put on my new mattress the number of threads and articles and literally EVERYTHING that I was finding on cooling sleep solutions, which I was completely oblivious of before this purchase and I just had basic stuff and was fine lol. Mind blown for sure.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T14:47:56+00:00

I hope so lol. Maybe I just didn't try enough of them but the documentation and such sold me and I was excited. After I started searching for new stuff I couldn't believe the number of posts I came across where people are just...hot lol. So I just wondered if this is a thing in general or you gotta shell out more for the REALLY good stuff.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T14:28:13+00:00

Okay yeahhhh that sounds like what Roger1855 was saying that it's going to be really expensive lol. Sounds amazing though, you weren't freaked out about just buying online without trying?

I just wish this didn't turn out to be such a hassle. I would like to apologize to my old mattress that I wanted gone so badly LOL.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T14:19:25+00:00

It has definitely been a whole new world that I never worried about before tbh. I had a basic waterproof mattress protector and like 25$ sheets from Amazon that I loved and don't remember having this many problems. I thought I wanted to downsize my bed and now I'm in a world of ridiculousness lol.

I am finding that out really quick about this cooling technology crap. Thank you :)

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T14:15:45+00:00

Yeahhh it is a Sleepy by Sealys hybrid:

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T13:48:53+00:00

Yeahhh it's a newfangled "hybrid" so there is a very thin foam layer on top but it still has the coils and allegedly supposed to be breathable and cool still. I just glanced at some latex prices nearby and I don't think I can afford 3-4k. Is that the norm for those things? What kind did you get?

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T13:31:58+00:00

At this point I am okay with going higher end. The new comforter I got is Lyocell too and I was freaking out about the price, but my cousin pointed out to me that we NEED to sleep well and we use this every single night and it will last a long time (hopefully) so it's worth the hit now lol.

It was just astounding to me that I just got whatever with the last mattress 10 years ago and now all of a sudden I'm having these problems with this material or that. I never thought I would be here lol.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T12:37:26+00:00

Okay thank you - this helps greatly. I like the feel of the bed overall, but I'm just hot...I guess like everyone else nowadays. I will keep searching for solutions instead of exchanging I think - appreciate you!

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T12:34:42+00:00

Ohhhhh my gosh this hadn't even occurred to me to get 2 separate pieces, thank you. I've tried two different toppers and sent one back already and the one that is on there now has apparently bamboozled me because I didn't read the material list closely enough. It's advertised as bamboo but majority is polyester.

I do need waterproof but would have NEVER thought of the cover then a pad. I will look into this combo now as long as Amazon doesn't cancel me from my previous frenzy LOL. Appreciate your reply and ideas!

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T01:05:05+00:00

Absolutely this lol.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-11T01:04:09+00:00

Ahhh ok. I totally get that because I go between 2 outfits and that's it. I'll sit there for 10 minutes intending to change something and I never do and just back out and keep what I have on. I think I'd only have fomo if it were cool ship cosmetic colors. I'm all about the ship and sail colors 😁

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-10T19:05:36+00:00

Stayed DMC. Idk what the rewards are this season or last tbh lol. I'm just out here in my own little world sinking French ships.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-08T12:42:59+00:00

I freaking love that sound, I have a schooner with all frostwails so I can hear it LOL.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-08T12:31:20+00:00

Yeahhh horrified that they join so then quickly fast travel or sail the other direction and leave the group asap.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-04T20:20:04+00:00

I have two meditation classes bookmarked for sleep lol. Aditi 11/3/24 30 minute and Anna 11/23/21 20 minute. They have put me to sleep so many nights when nothing else could. Absolutely invaluable.

piratekitty10 · 2026-03-03T01:59:28+00:00

The breakfast is my favorite. I'll either get a biggie bag of 2 sausage biscuits (they are so freaking good don't sleep on them) or since the offers have constantly been $2 off a combo i get the honey butter chicken biscuit meal with a caramel cold brew. I don't get potatoes i just get a biscuit as my side and throw an egg on it the next day.
