Right. If people are overheating at night during relatively normal temperatures, it’s probably a medical/diet issue or something in the bed is making you over heat, such as stupid foam.

I think there's a simpler explanation for a lot of people: they like sleeping under a big fluffy comforter or a heavy quilt or so have you for weight/texture reasons, but don't want to cool down the entire house just to make that comfortable.
i've bought a moderately expensive, very comfy foam bed which is however much hotter than my previous absolutely cheap 20yr old spring mattress...

I'm apalled by the fact that in 20 years we have regressed rather than improved on the temperature aspect of mattresses
