Memory Gel Mattresses

Welcome to our collection of Memory Gel Mattresses. These mattresses combine the body-hugging support of memory foam with the refreshing benefits of gel-infused technology. Gel provides a buoyant, springy feeling and sinks less than traditional memory foam.

What Sets Memory Gel Apart? 

The gel is infused into the foam to enhance breathability and regulate temperature, helping you stay cool and comfortable all night long. Memory gel is crafted differently to suit various sleep requirements, whether you’re after pressure relief, responsive support, or a balance of both, there’s an option for you.

Explore the Cooling Comfort of Memory Gel Mattresses

Memory gel mattresses combine the pressure-relieving properties of memory foam with advanced cooling technology, making them ideal for hot sleepers or anyone who wakes up feeling stuffy and restless. Unlike traditional memory foam, which can retain heat, gel-infused models use breathable open-cell foam and cooling gel particles or layers to actively regulate temperature while still providing that familiar body-hugging comfort.

Whether you're looking for a firmer surface with zoned support or a soft, cushioned feel that cradles your joints, our collection features a wide range of cooling memory gel mattresses, including orthopaedic gel mattresses, firm support options, and hybrid gel mattresses that blend pocket springs and gel, in a foam style mattress.

What Is a Gel Mattress?

A gel mattress typically refers to a mattress with a foam layer infused with gel beads, gel layers, or gel swirls, designed to draw heat away from your body while you sleep. The gel helps neutralise the trapped heat often associated with traditional foam, resulting in a cooler and more consistent sleep temperature.

A cooling Polymer Material, It’s usually made from a thermally conductive gel polymer or silicone-based substance. Some brands shape the gel into grids or honeycomb structures for extra breathability and pressure relief.

How to Choose a Memory Gel Mattress

Choosing the right gel mattress depends on your sleep style, body type, and preferences. If you’re a side sleeper, you may benefit from a medium or soft tension gel memory mattress that cushions pressure points at your shoulders and hips. Back and front sleepers, or those who prefer more support, may be better suited to firmer gel mattresses that maintain spinal alignment.

Hot sleepers should consider models with open-cell foam, ventilated gel layers, or cooling covers. Hybrid constructions with pocket springs underneath are particularly breathable. Not sure where to start? Our Mattress Buying Guide can help you make an informed choice.
