It's normal to experience variations in your body temperature while you sleep, and sometimes this can lead to sweating, it’s incredibly disruptive to your health if this happens too often. As the summer months come closer, sleeping cooler is important. If you have a tendency to get warm at night, the summer months can make it feel impossible to keep cool. Thankfully, there is something you can do about it. No, you don’t have to let your electric bill go through the roof to adjust the air conditioner down far enough to relieve your suffering. You simply need to look into buying a new mattress!
What Types of Mattresses Sleep Cooler Than Others?
As briefly stated above and in our dedicated article on mattress options for hot sleepers, temperature fluctuations at night are completely normal and a part of your body’s circadian rhythm. These changes help to control your sleep/wake cycle. Your body’s core temperature drops in the evening to get ready for sleep which helps you to feel tired. The problem arises when you begin to warm up well before it’s actually time to wake up in the morning. When this happens it can be particularly unpleasant, leading to interrupted sleep and uncomfortable night sweats.
What’s the solution? For many, the answer is to find one of the mattresses that keep you cool and sleep on that. At City Mattress, we have many mattress options that fit this criteria! This includes mattresses with special technology and materials designed especially for this.
What Mattresses to Avoid if You Sleep Hot
If some mattresses are great for those who sleep hot, some others are not ideal. This just makes sense! So, which mattresses should be avoided? Some mattresses are more firm and some are very soft. Just the same, some feel hotter as you lie on it all night long. This happens more commonly with memory foam mattresses. That is because these retain more body heat than other materials, causing some sleepers to become uncomfortably warm during the night.
One of the reasons many people enjoy memory foam mattresses is because they cradle the body and relieve pressure points. In order for the memory foam to do this, it has to be relatively dense. That means that memory foam has less airflow than other materials. The denser a memory foam mattress is, the more heat it will trap. This rise in temperature can decrease your quality of sleep and leave you feeling poorly rested when morning comes if it leads to waking up frequently and tossing and turning.
