If you sleep hot, it’s essential that your mattress will keep you cool while keeping airflow open and flowing freely through it. Look for mattresses constructed with gel-infused foam or airflow-friendly hybrid designs as these will best meet this goal.
Purple’s hyper-elastic gel polymer grid encourages airflow while simultaneously relieving pressure-relief comfort, making this mattress convenient to order and install. Furthermore, its mattress-in-a-box format makes ordering and setup hassle free.
Breathable Mattresses
Sleeping on an appropriate mattress can help regulate your temperature at night and keep you cool and comfy by decreasing how much heat is trapped within the body. Breathable mattresses are specifically designed to do just this.
People tend to assume memory foam is the only breathable option, but there are other viable choices including latex and Purple’s hyper-elastic polymer. Some mattresses even come with cooling covers designed to make their mattress physically cooler while others come equipped with technology designed to regulate your sleep temperature.
Mattresses designed specifically to cool sleepers often incorporate both coils and foam foundation layers, as well as special technology designed to draw heat away from your body and into the mattress – sometimes copper and gel-infused foam technology can even help. This is very helpful for hot sleepers!
Although Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) remains unknown, experts offer many suggestions about what parents can do to reduce its occurrence in their infant. One suggestion experts offer is using a breathable mattress as this will absorb any extra moisture which could potentially allow bacteria to grow and contribute to SIDS.
Layla tops our list for being an exceptionally breathable mattress, featuring built-in cooling technology. Constructed with open-cell foam which is more breathable than traditional memory foam and equipped with graphite and gel embedded to draw heat away from your body and disperse it evenly across the mattress surface, along with an antimicrobial cover which removes any additional heat or moisture build-up.
Bear mattress, a hybrid that combines memory foam and Celliant material, has proven itself as an effective means to promote blood flow during sleep. Its medium profile fits most sleep positions though some stomach and side sleepers may find it too soft for their preferred positions; alternatively, there’s always the firm model.
Cooling Pillows
Cooling pillows help remove heat from your head and neck during sleep for maximum comfort. They may contain cooling gel pads or covers with cooling properties – or both! Furthermore, some cooling pillows contain lavender essential oil which has been known to aid relaxation of both body and mind during restful slumber.
A great cooling pillow should be breathable and cool to the touch, helping keep your body temperature at a more consistent level throughout the night. In addition, a quality cooling pillow should also be hypoallergenic for those who suffer from allergies or sensitivities and be durable enough to withstand frequent use without losing its cooling qualities over time.
The Lagoon Pillow is constructed with memory foam infused with lavender for an aromatic experience to aid relaxation. Perfect for hot sleepers seeking to add lavender into their sleeping routine or those struggling with insomnia who need an extra helping hand in sleeping, its high density foam adjusts to your head and neck weight to prevent overheating while being certified GREENGUARD Gold free from harmful chemicals.
This cooling pillow is the ideal combination of support and plush comfort, perfect for side and back sleepers who require both. Filled with hypoallergenic microfiber fill that’s hypoallergenic as well as breathable. Plus, its foam is filled with cooling gel to prevent you from overheating – plus there’s even an optional removable washable cover with SmartClimate fabric that feels refreshing against your skin.
Natural latex pillows have long been revered for their cooling abilities, featuring honeycomb designs with air vents to keep air circulating through and keep your pillows at an ideal temperature – something memory foam pillows cannot do as easily. Furthermore, this choice may appeal to those allergic to synthetic materials who would rather opt for something natural like latex instead.
Purple Harmony pillows are another popular cooling pillow option, featuring a unique grid-shaped elastic top layer designed to be airy yet supportive, offering breathability while remaining supportive of hot sleepers. Ideal for hot sleepers who don’t enjoy memory foam’s slow sinking feel, Purple Harmony responds more quickly to pressure while remaining more bouncy than its counterparts.
Blankets
A blanket provides cozy warmth during sleep, making you feel safe and secure. There is an array of sizes and designs available; therefore it is essential that you select one which best meets your needs in terms of fabric weight, and design.
The flat sheet is the first layer that touches your skin, typically made of cotton, a cotton blend, linen or Tencel lyocell fabrics that allow airflow for cooling comfort during sleep. Selecting high-quality sheets with antimicrobial properties and silver threads that help control odors is also highly recommended to stay cool during the night.
The fitted sheet is the next layer that tucks into your mattress, available in twin, queen, king, California king sizes. When choosing your fitted sheet it should fit comfortably with deep pockets to easily accommodate pillows and mattress protectors. Finally, your mattress cover provides the final step by protecting both layers with soft yet luxurious materials like Matouk Eden or Giorgio from dust mites and moisture build-up.
Some of the best cooling mattresses for hot sleepers feature a medium firmness profile of around five on the firmness scale to accommodate different sleeping positions. For instance, GhostBed Luxe’s medium-firm construction allows it to accommodate both side and back sleeping positions without pushing against hips or shoulders when shifting positions; additionally it’s an excellent choice for couples due to low motion transfer and edge support features.
Nolah Natural is another excellent option. Made of soft yet responsive memory foam, this bed provides plenty of cushioning for side sleepers while offering ample lumbar support to back sleepers without feeling too hard for stomach sleepers. Due to its bouncier feel than most all-foam and hybrid mattresses, however, it may not provide optimal cooling features or motion isolation features for light sleepers who require lots of motion isolation.
Air Conditioning
Cooling mattress toppers and pads may not actively cool you like an air conditioning unit would, but they are an effective solution for those experiencing trouble sleeping due to heat. Simply placing one on top of your mattress will help keep sweat away throughout the night; some even use special phase-change materials that absorb body heat before dissipating it back into the air – making these solutions truly effective.
Hybrid or latex mattresses tend to be ideal choices for hot sleepers due to their breathability. Furthermore, some models include features like cooling layers in the mattress itself or an icy cover to regulate body temperature more effectively. While such features can add cost significantly, many retailers offer discounted cooling mattress deals during sales that help bring costs down significantly.
Covers for mattresses can have a substantial impact on how cool or warm they feel, with different manufacturers using various fabrics for their covers. Thinner and lighter fabric allows more airflow; cotton and bamboo fabrics tend to do this well while quilted ones will trap more heat around your body.
Keep an eye out for any cooling technology present in the mattress itself, such as copper- or gel-infused layers. A good mattress for hot sleepers usually incorporates one of these technologies along with an additional cooling layer in its core; one such example of this technology would be Loom & Leaf’s cooling gel mattress which acts as its primary heat-relieving tech.
Couples sharing a mattress should invest in a cooling mattress with medium firmness level (about five on the firmness scale) and open-cell memory foam layer that keeps both partners cool while they rest. GhostBed Luxe mattresses may be one of your top choices as it features plush pillow tops to help keep each partner cool during sleep.
