The Best Cooling Mattress For Hot Sleepers

Tossing and turning in bed because you’re too hot? You’re not alone. Up to 60% of Americans frequently experience restless nights because they are unable to reach a comfortable temperature at which to fall asleep.

Luckily, by adjusting what you sleep on, you can adjust how you sleep. While comfort and support are the main characteristics someone should look for in a mattress, the best mattress for hot sleepers is one that is infused with cooling technology. Finding the perfect mattress that keeps you cool should be a top priority for those who struggle with temperature regulation at night.

Tips To Keep Cool During The Night

There are many reasons you may be feeling hot at night. Regardless of the reason, if you aren’t able to cool off, sleeping becomes a difficult task. Here are a few tips to regulate your temperature when it comes time for bed:

1. Keep your thermostat between 60 - 67 degrees Fahrenheit and direct an oscillating fan in the direction of your bed.
2. If you sleep with a partner, create enough distance so they’re not enhancing your body heat. Additionally, don’t let pets (especially big ones) sleep in the bed with you.
3. Take a warm shower or bath before bed so that when you get out, you’re physically in a cooler environment. Your body will naturally begin to regulate itself to cool down.

While taking these tips into account can help reduce the intensity of heat flashes at night, the best thing to do is sleep on a mattress that keeps you cool.
