Hi Tammy,

Thanks for your question.

unfortunately in your case one of the features of memory foam is that it retains heat.

This means once you’re in bed it will reserve your body heat to help it mould.

Some people who get cold in bed love this others hate it as they over heat.

Our Fusion range is a popular with customers that like the memory foam feel but not the heats aspect as latex will mould to your body shape but does not need your heat to work as we only use 100% natural latex in this range

Latex is cooler than memory foam but if you’re struggling with heat it will still be warmer than a traditional bed because it’s a denser material.

my advice would be to add a natural topper like a down or wool topper to try and limit the heat of the bed.

As I always say you an only tweak a bed with a topper and not ‘make a bad bed good’ I’m afraid!
