Do cooling mattresses work?

Yes, cooling mattresses are very effective and work in a number of ways to reduce heat and keep you feeling fresh as you sleep. The best cooling mattresses contain cool-touch covers, special cooling comfort layers, air vents and breathable borders that all work to actively disperse excess heat and moisture. The result is a cooler, fresher sleep for you - with no overheating.

How do cooling mattresses work?

There are a few different ways in which cooling mattresses can work:

They have been made with a specially designed mattress cover that is cool to the touch
They have a cooling comfort layer, such a gel, which has an open-cell structure to increase air-flow through the mattress
They have air vents built into the side of the mattress to promote air-flow as you move in the night

What's the best cooling mattress?

The best cooling mattress is one that is highly breathable and stays cool as you sleep. We recommend Geltex mattresses, since they are specially designed for cooling comfort and are up to four times more breathable than standard memory foam mattresses. Alternatively, try an Eco Comfort Mattresses - the Eco Comfort Fibre technology works by absorbing moisture and is scientifically proven to keep you cool.

Do gel mattresses keep you cool?

Yes, gel mattresses keep you cool - and feel cooler to the touch. In fact, gel mattresses are some of the coolest mattresses around! They work by dissipating body heat away from the surface of the mattress, keeping you at a more comfortable body temperature as you sleep.

How can I cool down my mattress?

There are lots of things you can do to cool down your mattress:

Every morning, pull back the covers to air out your mattress
Keep your curtains or blinds closed throughout the day to prevent the sun heating your bedroom and mattress up
Keep your bedroom window open to encourage good air circulation
Ensure your bedsheets are cotton, so that they're breathable
You could also invest in a gel mattress topper for extra cooling comfort
