The Advanced Cooling model is the topper to pick at Costco if heat is the main complaint about your bed. Novaform coats the 3-inch gel memory foam with phase change material under what it calls the PerfectTemp system, and wraps it in a cool-touch, moisture-wicking stretch cover. As with the ComfortLuxe Plus, the cover is washable and fits mattresses up to 17 inches deep, the foam is CertiPUR-US certified and made in the USA, and the topper carries a 10-year limited warranty. The queen measures 80 by 60 by 3 inches and weighs 28.7 lbs. Costco listed it at $169.99 for a queen on November 11, 2026, $10 more than the ComfortLuxe Plus. It has a much shorter review record, 157 reviews averaging 4.2 out of 5 on the queen listing, so the ComfortLuxe Plus remains the safer default for people who do not sleep hot.
