Cooling Mattresses

Staying Cool While you Sleep – Discover the Right Cooling Mattress

Are you someone who wakes up hot and uncomfortable? You’re not alone. Cooling mattresses are designed in many different ways to regulate body temperature and wick away excess heat throughout the night.

Whether you’re a insufferable hot sleeper, live in a well insulated warmer home, or simply prefer a clean and fresh feeling, this collection features a range of highly breathable, heat-dissipating (or combination of both) mattresses designed to keep things cool. From gel memory foam to advanced breathable fabrics, these mattresses use smart materials and clever design to help combat overheating.

Why Am I Overheating at Night?

If you regularly wake up sweaty or tossing the covers off, your mattress could be part of the problem. Traditional memory foam and heavy dense layers tend to retain heat and restrict airflow, which creates a “trapped” claustrophobic feeling, especially during summer months.

Cooling mattresses solve this issue with different methods for varying results mainly by improving breathability and air circulation. Many include highly breathable and moisture wicking fabrics, memory gel, or open-cell technology designed to disperse body heat and keep you cool at night.

They’re especially useful for:

• Hot sleepers or those prone to night sweats
• Couples who radiate different levels of body heat
• Warm rooms or loft bedrooms
• Anyone who likes flipping the pillow to the “cool side”
• Couples who would prefer a larger mattress because of close body heat but do not have the bedroom space

Cool but Much Much More...

Modern cooling mattresses aren't just about “cold foam.” The best ones offer a smart blend of materials and thoughtful construction that offer a range of different features and results. Here’s some of the components that aid the overall cooling package:

• Memory Gel – Designed to contour like regular memory foam but slightly more buoyant, highly breathable and less heat retentive
  
• Latex – Breathable and springy, latex promotes excellent airflow and ultimately is a natural cooling material
  
• Pocket and Open Coil – Springs help ventilate the entire mattress, unlike solid-core foam models but please be aware they need to be used in conjunction with other cooling properties for real results
  
• Cold to Touch Fabrics – Advanced cooling temperature reactive fabrics that quickly adjust while you sleep
  
• Less Dense, Breathable Fillings – Some natural materials as well as synthetic fibres are often processed to allow plenty of airflow and when combined with ither cooling properties can result in excellent cool sleep

🌿 Light Cooling for All-Year Comfort

If you tend to run warm but don’t want to feel too chilly during winter, look for mattresses made with something like Tencel knit fabrics. Tencel is a natural, breathable material that wicks away moisture whilst feeling incredibly plush and soft. It gives you just enough temperature regulation without being cold, so it's an ideal ingredient for all year round use.
