If you wake up to a pool of sweat more often than usual, either during the night or by morning, you’re most likely a hot sleeper. The first thing you’ve probably done to solve this problem was to make the room temperature cooler by toggling on your air conditioning’s thermostat, turning on a fan, or opening a window.
You probably tried to cool the room first. Maybe you turned on the air conditioner, switched on a fan, or opened a window. You may have also tried switching out thick comforters for thinner blankets. If you’re still feeling hot after doing all that, a cooling mattress might just be the upgrade you need.
Heat can make it hard to sleep. It blocks the body from making melatonin, the hormone that controls your sleep cycle. Without enough melatonin, the likelihood of experiencing restlessness and insomnia is increased.
Keep your room between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (15.6 to 21 degrees Celsius) for better sleep. We then recommend considering how cooling mattresses can benefit you. To help you make an informed purchase decision, we’ve included everything there is to know about cooling mattresses in this article.
What Are Cooling Mattresses

Cooling mattresses are made with special materials that absorb or release body heat to keep you cool. These mattresses can be made of gels, foams, or springs with features or layers that facilitate airflow at the surface to keep you cool.
How Do Cooling Mattresses Work

Some models also include zoned construction to further support airflow and reduce motion transfer, perfect for couples. The result? A mattress that keeps you cool, comfortable, and undisturbed all night long.
Cooling mattresses are designed to pull heat away from your body and increase airflow so you stay cool and sweat-free all night. They work through breathable fabrics, moisture-wicking covers, and temperature-regulating foam layers. For example, the MagniCool Collection by Magniflex uses special fabric that keeps you dry and lets air flow better.
Inside, layers like gel memory foam and Eliosoft cores help air move and keep the bed cool. These materials adapt to your body and disperse heat so hot spots don’t form under pressure points.
Some models have special zones that boost airflow and cut down on movement, great for couples. The result? A mattress that keeps you cool, comfortable, and undisturbed all night.
5 Benefits of Cooling Mattresses
1. Reduces Occurrence of Night Sweats
There can be more than one reason why you are experiencing night sweats. It can happen due to anxiety, sleep problems like insomnia, medication side effects, or hot flashes (for menopausal women). The good news is that a cooling mattress can reduce this sleeping disturbance from happening by up to 52%.
2. Supports Body Alignment
A cooling mattress helps you sleep better by spreading your weight evenly and keeping your body temperature steady. You may also be relieved from aches and pains with multiple supportive layers that cushion every part of your body.
3. Energy and Cost Efficient
With a cooling mattress to prevent heat buildup on the surface of the bed, you may not need to turn your cooling systems up to the max. The cooling mattress and your room’s climate control will work together to regulate body heat and ensure optimal comfort. As a result, you will end up using less energy and saving money on your utility bill.
Cooling mattresses may cost more upfront, but they can save you money on energy bills over time. We also recommend investing in absorbent cotton satin bedding to enhance your mattress’s ability to keep you cool.
4. Increased Mattress Durability
Cooling mattresses make you sweat less, enhancing your sleep hygiene. Their thermoregulating properties also decrease wear and tear due to excess heat and liquid stains.
Made with high-density foam and/or thick gel beads, cooling mattresses retain their shape for longer. Its increased durability means you won't have to worry about buying a new mattress frequently.
5. Promotes Comfortable Sleep for Couples
A cooling mattress helps you and your partner sleep better by reducing body heat, especially on hot summer nights. You’ll be glad to know that the cooling properties of the mattress remain uncompromised whether or not you’re sharing the bed with another person.
Another reason why cooling mattresses are great for couples is their motion resistance. Cooling mattresses are constructed with even weight distribution in mind to disperse heat and support most parts of the body. That said, the chances of your sleep being disturbed by your partner’s movements are minimised.

Understanding How Cooling Mattresses Work
Anyone can benefit from cooling mattresses. Hot sleepers and couples alike increase their chances of sleeping comfortably through the night without being bothered by heightened body heat.
The thermoregulating properties of cooling mattresses evenly disperse heat and wick moisture to improve breathability and comfort. Plus, cooling mattresses work with your room’s climate control system, which makes them an energy-efficient alternative to regular mattresses.
When choosing a cooling mattress, look into its certifications as well as the quality of its materials and layers. It’s important to note that cooling mattresses may cost more than their regular counterparts, but it is a great investment in quality and restful sleep.
