Comfortable Sleeping Temperature


Sleeping Too Hot?


Maintaining a neutral temperature throughout the night is important to ensuring undisturbed rest. The temperature of your bedroom matters, but so does your mattress.

After comfort and support, a mattress's heat retention is probably the most important aspect to consider when shopping for a new model. Mattresses perform differently in this regard depending on the materials they are made of.

Wool: Natural, Breathable Comfort

There's a reason we've been shearing sheep all these years. Wool retains air between its fibers, making it a great insulator. At the same time, the unique makeup of wool fiber allows vapor to pass through while acting as a barrier to water. This is why wool keeps you warm without being stifling. Sealy and Stearns & Foster use wool in the quilt of their mattresses for a breathable comfort.

Foam and Latex: Cool and Conforming

If you're considering an alternative to an innerspring mattress, there are two popular types you're likely to encounter: Memory foam mattresses (visco), and latex mattresses. While both materials make great mattresses, each behaves a bit differently. Memory foam is great for reducing pressure points, but because it is a dense material, it tends to retain slightly more heat. However, newer foams like Simmons NxG memory foam use open cell construction that allows better ventilation throughout the mattress for a neutral temperature.

Like memory foam, latex is an excellent pressure reliever, but tends to be more breathable than polyurethane-based foams like memory foam. Latex mattresses are available in both natural and synthetic styles.
