Hot sleeper? Night sweats? Wake up feeling stuffy or overheated—even in the winter?

If so, you’re not alone. Many people sleep “hot,” regardless of the season. Whether it’s due to body chemistry, menopause, memory foam trapping heat, or a bedroom that’s just a little too cozy, overheating at night can disrupt deep sleep and leave you feeling groggy.
That’s why cooling mattresses aren’t just a summer solution—they’re a year-round upgrade. These mattresses use breathable materials and advanced cooling technology to help regulate temperature and keep your body in a sleep-friendly zone (around 65°F), no matter what’s happening outside.
What Makes a Mattress "Cooling"?
Cooling mattresses are designed to manage temperature in a few key ways:
- Breathable Materials: Open-cell memory foam or hybrid coil systems help air circulate through the mattress, preventing heat from building up.
- Gel or Copper Infusions: These materials actively absorb and transfer heat away from your body.
- Cool-to-the-Touch Covers: Phase-change materials and moisture-wicking fabrics give the surface of the bed an instant, refreshing feel.
Together, these features promote a deeper, more restful sleep for anyone who struggles with temperature fluctuations.

Complete the Cool Sleep Setup: Pillows, Sheets & Protectors
Your mattress is just the beginning. For maximum comfort, surround yourself with a full suite of cooling bedding accessories:
- Cooling Pillows: 
Look for gel-infused memory foam or ventilated core designs with cool-to-the-touch covers. These pillows help regulate head and neck temperature—a big factor in nighttime comfort.
- Cooling Sheets:
 Fabrics like bamboo, Tencel™, or temperature-regulating blends feel light, breathable, and moisture-wicking. These sheets are perfect for warm nights or anyone who tends to run hot.
- Cooling Mattress Protectors: 
A breathable, waterproof mattress protector keeps your mattress clean without trapping heat. Heat is pulled away from the surface and the body to help maintain optimal sleep temperatures. Stored heat energy is released when not in use to prepare for the next night.
Bonus Tip: Don’t Overlook Your Base
Your mattress foundation plays a bigger role in sleep quality than you might think—especially when it comes to staying cool. A solid platform or slatted base can improve airflow beneath your mattress, helping to reduce trapped heat and moisture over time. If your mattress is sitting on a solid surface with little ventilation, even the most advanced cooling materials can struggle to perform at their best.
For an upgrade in both comfort and breathability, consider an adjustable base. Not only can it elevate your head and feet for better circulation and reduced pressure points, but many models also promote airflow through under-bed clearance and motorized positioning.
Whether you go with a traditional boxspring, platform bed, or adjustable base, make sure it’s compatible with your mattress and allows your cooling features to work efficiently from the inside out.
