If you struggle with overheating at night, you know how exhausting it can be to wake up sweaty, tossing, and turning in search of relief. But here’s the good news: the right cooling mattress and bedding can make all the difference.

This guide will explore the best cooling mattress options, bedding materials, and products designed to give hot sleepers a cooler, more restful night’s sleep.

Why Are Cooling Mattresses and Bedding Important?

Waking up in a sweat doesn’t just happen during the summer months. Hot sleepers tend to generate more body heat at night, which gets trapped in traditional mattresses and bedding materials.

This heat retention disrupts your sleep cycle and can leave you feeling tired and groggy. Cooling mattresses and bedding are specifically designed with breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating materials to combat overheating.

Features to Look for in a Cooling Mattress

When shopping for a cooling mattress, keep an eye out for these essential features:

Breathable Covers: Look for mattresses with moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics like TENCEL or bamboo.
Cooling Technology: Some high-tech mattresses include phase-change materials that absorb and release heat to maintain a neutral temperature.
Hybrid Designs: Mattresses with a mix of coils and foam offer better airflow, which helps with heat regulation.
