Aurora Luxe mattress is an ideal solution for hot sleepers, featuring both gel-infused memory foam and breathable coils for maximum breathability. Rated an outstanding 9.5/10 on Mattress Advisor, the Aurora Luxe can accommodate all sleeping positions comfortably.
Coils and springs form the majority of mattresses’ support core, which allow airflow through its layers for proper cooling of each layer of bed and night sweats/hot flashes relief. This makes coil/spring mattresses an excellent solution for menopausal women experiencing night sweats/hot flashes.
Latex
Latex foam mattresses provide excellent pressure relief and buoyancy for all sleep positions. In addition, latex mattresses promote proper spinal alignment for reduced back pain and stiffness during the day. Many osteopaths and physical therapists recommend latex mattresses to clients experiencing chronic hip, back, shoulder or neck discomfort.
Natural and synthetic latex mattresses both offer their own set of advantages; natural latex being one of the more eco-friendly choices due to production without harming rubber trees and being more durable than memory foam mattresses. Plus, its open cell structure helps air circulate easily for cooler sleeping experiences!
Synthetic latex, however, is made from petroleum products and thus less eco-friendly than its natural counterpart. Furthermore, synthetic latex tends to be less durable and produces stronger odors when unrolled than its natural counterpart.
Density of latex should also be a deciding factor when selecting a mattress, with higher densities creating firmer mattresses. Most mattresses feature layers of latex with differing densities to achieve an equilibrium between durability and comfort; measurements for density include measuring how much force is necessary to indent it with lower ILD numbers indicating softer mattresses while higher numbers indicate firmer ones.
Natural latex mattresses may not be an ideal choice for everyone, but hot sleepers may find natural latex beneficial due to its breathability and springiness. Unfortunately, natural latex can be more costly than other options and wear out faster than other materials, leaving a flat spot over time.
Breathable Covers
if you find yourself sleeping hot but are unwilling to invest in a cooling mattress pad or topper, try opting for a breathable cover instead. Fabrics such as Tencel or bamboo that provide both breathability and moisture wicking properties may help dissipate excess body heat rather than store it, helping keep you cool and comfy throughout the night.
Other mattress options feature intelligent features, like circulated air or water, that can help regulate temperature in your bed and provide cooling effects; these tend to be pricey though. For something more budget-friendly, a memory foam mattress topper infused with gel may provide cooling relief as well as helping avoid warm, stuffy nights.
An alternative option for protecting bedding and extending mattress lifespan is a breathable mattress protector, which will keep it clean and dry while prolonging its life. Our textile experts suggest selecting one with waterproof coating to keep spills and sweat out as well as one that’s soft to the touch like this offering from Coop Home Goods; additionally it should be machine washable and dryer safe, making laundry day less of an ordeal!
This Slumber Cloud Performance Mattress Pad uses two layers to regulate temperature: breathable cotton sateen with an antimicrobial layer and Outlast fibers in its lining, to capture excess body heat that eventually dissipates as your core temperature cools – helping avoid that sweaty feeling that often accompany bed. Available in standard and specialty sizes with various thickness options to choose from and backed by a 60-night sleep trial period so you can test its efficacy firsthand before making a commitment for good.
Cooling Pillows
Sleep can often leave us sweating during the night, leaving us hot and uncomfortable. Pillows made from cooling materials are an easy solution that can keep us cool during our restless nights.
Cooling pillows feature an external gel layer designed to keep you cool. This layer works like a sponge by absorbing body heat and dissipating it evenly across the pillow’s surface. Though more expensive than non-gel pillows, cooling gel pillows may provide you with cooler sleep for improved restful nights’ rest.
Cooling pillows come in both solid foam and shredded form, and some even feature cooling materials integrated into their covers. Cooling materials may include either organic or synthetic materials; organic being more eco-friendly and breathable than its synthetic counterpart. Also hypoallergenic options often contain cotton and bamboo fibers which provide superior breathability.
Foam cooling pillows come in two forms – solid pieces or shredded, with some featuring adjustable features to meet different sleepers’ needs. Our testers were fond of the Coop Eden Pillow which features a cool-to-the-touch cover and cooling gel infused into its foam to help prevent overheating; its successor, Eden Pillow Cool Plus offers similar benefits but with additional support features.
If you enjoy the feel of down, but want to avoid its allergenic properties, we suggest opting for pillows filled with naturally cooling plant-based material kapok. One such pillow, such as Layla Kapok Pillow from Sleep Solutions USA is great option that allows for customization by adding or subtracting filling as necessary; additionally it has both GREENGUARD and CertiPUR-US certification to assure it is free from harmful chemicals and emissions.
BedJet
Bedjet is a personal heating and cooling system that uses filtered air to deliver warmth or cool air to a thin sheet covering a mattress, enabling sleepers to choose their ideal temperature setting via an app on their phone and control air flow directly onto the surface of their mattress. Ideal for hot sleepers who experience excess sweating or those experiencing cold winter nights.
Tech Hive found it to be easy to set up and you can customize your comfort settings at the click of a button, making this device great for menopausal women experiencing hot flashes as well as living in cold climates who require extra warmth at night. Tech Hive found it to be effective and beneficial in terms of heat relief during bedtime – plus menopause symptoms!
The unit works with any type of mattress, including memory foam bed-in-a-box models. It attaches easily to the side of your mattress without bulky parts or wires that could cause tripping hazards; and has an air nozzle discreetly placed at the edge that can be concealed under sheets for discreet operation. A hose plugs into a base that sucks air in, filters it, then sends its stream directly into your bed.
The device comes in either single zone configuration for use by one individual, or dual zone mode to provide independent temperature controls between couples who may differ on their sleep temperature preferences. Furthermore, this bundle comes complete with the AirComfort Cloud Sheet which uses compressed air to form a lightweight temperature-controlled blanket that covers your mattress – an excellent alternative to water-powered pads like the OOLER, ChiliPAD or DockPro that provide limited temperature regulation options.
Mattress Protectors
Mattress protectors are an economical and effective way to ensure a healthier sleep surface. Similar to fitted sheets, these thin removable covers encase your mattress to block out dust mites, dander, sweat or any liquids that might stain its surface, as well as protect from dead skin cells that collect in tiny cracks within your mattress surface.
Based on their material, sleepwear can either be breathable or waterproof and some provide extra cooling properties. Some even utilize Celliant fabric, which converts body heat into infrared energy that radiates back towards the skin – helping regulate temperature while aiding muscle recovery during your restful night’s rest.
Most mattress protectors are constructed from soft terry cloth or polyester/lycra material that’s both breathable and water-repellant, such as polyester/lycra. Others use thicker materials like vinyl or PVC that resist liquid penetration into your mattress. Others still come with polyurethane backings to stop liquid from penetrating it altogether.
As you shop for mattress protectors, read user reviews to gain a sense of their overall impressions of how the product feels. Since it can be hard to predict how a mattress encasement or protector will feel without trying it yourself, look out for comments about how cool and comfortable its cover feels against your skin.
Another key consideration should be machine-washability of the product. Mattress protectors typically make this task easy; just read your mattress protector manufacturer’s recommendations regarding frequency and frequency of washings. Also, washing it may help soften and eliminate packaging-induced odours from packaging materials.
