Many mattresses feature cooling technology to accommodate for hot sleepers. Materials used can range from airflow in latex foam mattresses to gel-infused memory foam that offers cooling benefits.
The Brooklyn Aurora is designed with a top layer of patented Purple Grid to dissipate heat effectively, and offers convenience when ordering and setting it up at your own time.
Copper
Copper is known for its natural cooling properties and ability to promote healthy skin, which make it a perfect addition to mattress materials. Copper’s cooling effects provide hot sleepers with an ideal environment in which they can rest.
Copper-infused memory foam mattresses are an excellent way for hot sleepers to keep cool all through the night, thanks to copper particles which absorb your body heat and move it away from the bed surface.
Some mattresses, such as the Nectar Premier Copper mattress, incorporate copper threads directly into their textile fibers; other models like Elite Hybrid and Bear Hybrid utilize copper-infused comfort layers instead. Both types provide medium-firm support suitable for back and side sleepers alike.
Copper-infused mattresses also boast one additional advantage over other memory foam beds: keeping you cooler. Copper is known for having one of the highest thermal conductivity rates, quickly absorbing and dissipating body heat across its entirety before dispersing it across the mattress to prevent hotspots from developing in any one spot.
Copper ions in these mattresses can also increase collagen and elastin levels, improving skin elasticity and decreasing wrinkles while improving blood circulation and thus decreasing muscle soreness and inflammation.
Graphite has become an increasingly popular material in mattress manufacturing. While copper acts as an electrical conductor, graphite is a naturally cooling mineral with moisture-wicking capabilities. Many mattresses now include layers of graphite on top of memory foam beds to keep sleepers cool during the night – this type of mattress is especially ideal for back and side sleepers looking for cool comfort during their slumber.
Gel Beads
If you tend to experience hot sleeping environments, the ideal mattress would feature both breathability and cooling qualities. A latex or gel material would allow airflow while simultaneously dissipating body heat; additionally, cooling layers can further regulate sleeping environment to help you stay cool during the night.
Memory foam and polyfoam mattresses often include cooling gel or beads to dissipate body heat while you sleep. This may be accomplished through adding gel capsules directly into the foam or by swirling liquid gel during its manufacturing process; whatever the case, this cooling agent helps disperse heat while keeping its original form and pressure-relieving qualities intact.
Gel-infused mattresses tend to spring back quickly after you change positions in bed, which makes them ideal for hot sleepers who toss and turn frequently during their restful slumber. However, it is still essential that a cooling gel mattress be properly maintained in order to avoid problems like inadequate support or increased risk of sweating.
If you’re thinking about investing in a gel infused mattress, be aware that they typically carry an increased upfront cost than traditional foam models; however, when properly cared for they should last just as long. Proper care includes pairing it with a mattress protector and washing it frequently to extend its life as well as limiting when pets and children sleep on it as well as regularly inspecting for wear-and-tear or stains on its surface.
Graphite
Graphite is an exceptional thermal conductor, drawing heat away from your body as you rest. In mattress toppers incorporating graphite as a thermal conductive material, this helps keep sleep cool and prevent body indentations during restful slumber. Memory foam toppers tend to retain heat, creating uncomfortably warm sleeping environments; but graphite-infused mattresses maintain a neutral temperature with significantly cooler sleeping surfaces than their memory counterparts.
Graphite can be used in mattress construction to produce layers of cooling memory foam or combined with latex and innerspring materials for optimal cooling comfort. Some brands of graphite-infused mattresses feature reinforced edges to help guard against sagging over time; its breathable nature ensures air can freely pass through, further contributing to restful and comfortable sleeping conditions.
Mattresses featuring graphite come in various firmness levels, from ultra-plush to firm. Hot sleepers may benefit from selecting a medium-firm to firm graphite-infused mattress; as this provides more support and durability during sleep. When selecting your preferred level of firmness, remember to consider both sleeping position preferences as well as any weight placed upon it.
Graphite-infused mattresses not only reduce heat retention, but they also offer targeted support for the spine and lower back, which allows for more comfortable rest as well as supporting muscle recovery and performance. Sleep is key for active individuals; being able to rest securely with support for lower back and spine is essential.
Graphite-infused mattresses are incredibly hypoallergenic, making them an excellent option for allergy sufferers. Their structure prevents dust mites, pet dander and mold growth that could otherwise trigger allergic reactions or respiratory conditions; for those living with asthma and other chronic respiratory conditions this could be life changing!
Cooling Pillows
Cooling pillows can help provide a better night of restful slumber by drawing heat away from your head and neck. The most effective cooling pillows feature materials that wick moisture, dissipate heat and breathe freely such as cooling gel layers, breathable fillings, Kapok fibers or natural latex; sometimes combined with innovative technologies for an enhanced cooling experience throughout the night.
Foam pillows often get a bad rap for overheating, but the best cooling pillows use gel materials to prevent excess heat build-up and offer greater breathability than solid foam models. Some even feature shredded memory foam for increased airflow and to increase breathability compared to solid ones.
Buckwheat pillows are another great material choice for cooling pillows, as it draws heat and moisture away from your head while remaining lightweight and breathable – two qualities which help avoid overheating. Some pillows incorporate both materials for maximum comfort.
Cooling pillows made with kapok fibers offer a fluffy and breathable sleeping surface, as you can add or subtract fibers to customize its loft and support to meet individual sleeping preferences. Its adjustable nature also makes this type of fill ideal for sleepers wanting to avoid heat trapping or with specific needs like neck pain relief.
Finding the ideal cooling pillow requires taking into account your sleeping position and how often you experience overheating. A supportive neck-cradling cooling pillow or something softer could work depending on the position in which you often rest your head and shoulders, depending on which is required for optimal comfort.
Blankets
With the right cooling blanket, hot sleepers can avoid overheating at night. These blankets typically use natural or synthetic materials with temperature regulating properties as well as technologies like moisture wicking and airflow; creating an ultrasoft blanket that remains cool against your skin while still feeling cozy and comfy.
Boll & Branch cooling blankets feature slow finished fabric for delicate softness that’s sure to win you over. Their light blanket features a basketweave pattern for layering over any bedding surface while bamboo viscose material quickly wicks away humidity and heat while staying odor-resistant, giving off no musty scent over time.
Sleep Number’s cooling blanket uses active-particle technology to draw away moisture and heat during the night, keeping you comfortable all through. Featuring quilted construction with box stitching for durability and two side panels for flexibility depending on season, it comes in Queen and King sizes for convenient washing.
Sleep Number offers their True Temp blanket as another solution, featuring active-particle technology to eliminate moisture, heat and odors from the room. With its smooth and soft surface and range of colors such as gray and white as well as purple and periwinkle blue hues – including neutral shades like these! – the True Temp is another great addition.
Some people who sleep hot experience allergies, so finding an antiallergenic cooling blanket is key. The Cozy Earth bamboo blanket has a silky smooth feel made with 100 percent viscose from bamboo fabric and is made in America; hypoallergenic, antibacterial, moisture wicking and designed to fit all mattress sizes!
