I tend to use them when I just can't get any relief. It took a bit to get used to sleeping on one and getting it in the right position; since I basically sleep in an almost upright position it is easier than someone who sleeps on their side.
I get the bed sweats occasionally. When it was happening regularly, it was caused by major stress during that time.
We have a mattress protector under the mattress cover. During the day, we let the whole bed air out with all the covers pulled back so the ceiling and floor fan can get air over the bed.

Night sweats can indicate some type of cancers like lymphoma or leukaemia. Not that I'm trying to scare you, but you should see a doctor and be on the safe side.
My night sweats last year turned out to be caused by severe anxiety and a bad flu.
