Sleep can be challenging when your body overheats during the night. Luckily, many mattresses offer cooling features to help ensure you remain cool throughout the night.
Mattresses are long-term investments, so take time determining which option best meets your needs. Consider factors like sleeping position preferences, mattress type options and cooling technologies when making this important decision.
1. Mattress
Cooling mattresses are one of the essential sleep accessories for hot sleepers. Sheets and pajamas only go so far in keeping you cool during the night – mattresses with temperature regulation features can offer more relief to hot sleepers than sheets alone. The best mattresses for hot sleepers feature breathability as well as cooling features to help ensure comfortable restful slumber.
Find a mattress that meets your cooling requirements by looking for one with cooling technology or special cooling materials such as graphite or copper infused into its comfort layers and cover or core layers, such as graphite or copper. Or look for polyfoam that’s been air aerated to increase breathability and circulate air throughout it and thus cool the comfort layers beneath it.
The Nectar Premier Copper mattress is an excellent solution for hot sleepers, featuring a breathable cover with cooling infusions throughout its three comfort layers. GlacioTex, a phase change material which stays cool to touch at different temperatures and changes physical state accordingly, forms the top layer. Below this layer are cooling memory foam and gel polyfoam layers designed to take heat away from the body while airflow is maintained through coil layers that promote airflow to help keep this mattress from overheating.
Nolah Signature mattress offers another great solution for hot sleepers: its hybrid design utilizes coils in its support core to increase airflow, keeping the mattress cooler. Additionally, its tencel cover is breathable and cool to touch; AirFoam and gel polyfoam provide added cooling as well as pressure relief. Couples should find sleeping on this mattress more peaceful – its bounce helps them avoid disturbing each other with nightly movement!
2. Pillow
If a hot night of restful slumber is ruining your day, perhaps switching up your pillow may help. Many options exist which promote airflow, release heat and draw away sweat during sleep to keep you at ease while sleeping – shredded memory foam pillows with cooling gel inserts or similar materials have all been designed specifically to keep you cooler while resting peacefully.
If you’re in search of a cooling pillow suitable for either back or side sleepers, look no further than the Brooklyn Bedding Talalay Latex pillow. Boasting an outer cover made from breathable cotton material and featuring New Zealand wool inside surrounding a crushed latex core – these materials work together seamlessly for anyone struggling to remain cool while sleeping.
This pillow features cooling material infused with odor-absorbing bamboo charcoal, to help absorb odors caused by sweat and body toxins. Furthermore, its hypoallergenic material provides comfort to those suffering from allergies or sensitive skin conditions; additionally, those looking for eco-friendly products will appreciate that this one was produced using biodegradable products that are ethically produced.
This cooling pillow may be more costly, but it’s an outstanding choice for back sleepers. The SmartClimate fabric cover keeps your head cool while its gel layers help draw heat away from it so you’ll experience less sweaty sleep while dozing off.
This pillow features an innovative honeycombed GelFlex layer and Talalay latex that mimics Jell-O for superior neck support in back or side sleeping positions. Although heavier than some alternatives, this one remains lofted even after extended usage and its cover can easily be machine washed for easy maintenance.
3. Blanket
If you are prone to sweating during the night, use a cooling blanket. These lightweight blankets made of breathable fabrics can help regulate temperature while offering comfortable restful slumber – plus many are hypoallergenic and safe to be washed in your washing machine for easy care! Plus they come in various sizes and colors that will complement any bedroom decor perfectly!
The Parachute Home Organic Air Cotton Quilt features a reversible design with cooling nylon fabric on one side and soft bamboo fiber on the other. Both materials provide air circulation while remaining silky-soft for maximum comfort; in addition, this blanket meets antibacterial and odor resistance standards and has earned certifications such as OEKO-TEX and GOTS, meeting environmental safety regulations as well as offering sleepers a 60-night trial period to assess its worthiness for their sleep needs.
Hug Sleep Cooling Blanket offers another solution for hot sleepers: this blanket made of lightweight materials with breathable pores provides cooling comfort during sleep; available in twin size only, its patented technology keeps users cool and dry during their restful night’s rest – while being certified OEKO-TEX and Oeko-Tex 100 certified ensures they meet environmental safety requirements and standards.
The Tempur-Pedic LUXEbreeze mattress is another great solution for hot sleepers, featuring innovative construction and phase change material to keep you cool and dry throughout the night. Its layer of copper-infused memory foam draws heat away from the body to regulate temperature while its layer of Adaptive Foam molds to your shape for back or side sleeping while offering pressure relief and support.
4. BedJet
BedJet is an ideal solution for hot sleepers looking for relief. This device resembles a blower attached to the underside of your mattress that sends air through an optional comforter hose and directly into your own sheets and blankets, or can even be set to provide cool yet cozy temperatures at any given time of year or season. Its flexible settings offer you plenty of ways to customize its cooling abilities according to weather or season conditions, providing optimal comfort regardless of what time or season of year it may be used in.
The BedJet comes equipped with an easy-to-use remote and app for temperature regulation, including precise degree setting. Its color screen makes navigation and customization quick and painless. Plus, when purchasing “Smart Home compatible” versions of BedJet it will quickly sync up with all your smart home devices allowing voice command control of its settings!
BedJet stands out as an attractive cooling option by not leaving an unpleasant odor behind when used. Additionally, its quiet operation compared to blower-style bed cooling products means it doesn’t feel like having a fan constantly blowing on you all night long.
BedJet’s aesthetic design is also quite pleasing; you can position it either at the head or foot of your bed to suit your preference. Unfortunately, for dual-zone cooling and heating you must purchase two BedJet devices along with a Dual Zone Cloud Sheet; co-sleepers who may have differing preferences may find this a problem; however in 2019 BedJet is unveiling their Dual Zone Cloud Sheet which has two openings per side with a divider running down its center, so each individual can customize their airflow without interfering with each other’s settings!
5. Mattress Protector
Mattress protectors are essential when it comes to keeping a bed hygienic and healthy, helping keep its contents dry while simultaneously helping regulate temperature. High-quality protectors feature moisture wicking technology which keeps sleepers cool throughout the night.
The Coop Home Goods Ultra Luxe Waterproof Mattress Protector features an easy care design, suitable for machine washing and tumble dry (though Eve recommends only doing it every month). Crafted with 40% bamboo-derived viscose rayon and 60% polyester materials certified as Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX as free from harmful substances and hypoallergenic. Plus it boasts deep pocket design to accommodate mattresses up to 22 inches high making this an excellent option for taller sleepers who require something they can quickly put on or remove without crunching noise or movement!
Layla Mattress Protector is another reliable choice for hot sleepers, offering basic five-sided protection at a relatively reasonable cost. Its stretchy non-slip cover keeps mattresses free from contaminants like dirt mites and bed bugs while remaining non-slip so you sleep soundly every night.
For optimal mattress protection, consider investing in a six-sided protector. These cover all six sides, protecting from contaminants entering and overheating your mattress. However, some sleepers find these harder to access than more traditional fitted protectors, and may have heavier feels that could alter how their mattress feels when sleeping on it.
