Excessive heat and sweat while sleeping has an adverse effect on your peaceful and sound sleep. Low-quality mattresses generate heat which breaks your continuity of sleep. You wake up abruptly and then find that same deep sound sleep is not possible.
Having an automatic temperature-regulated mattress is very important. So as per the outside temperature, the cells of the foam respond and remain cool and comfortable all night. When you try to save money and buy a cheap mattress, you have to toss & turn to keep shifting from the excess warmth which causes irritation.
Why Do Mattresses Become Hot?
Mattress material matters a lot when it comes to sleep temperature. Memory foam mattresses are generally not very breathable and are known to trap heat because foam molds to your body’s contours leaving little room for heat to escape. Mattresses also lose their breathability with time hence, older mattresses are more likely to become hot.
Latex mattresses are not hot to sleep on. In fact, they are generally cooler than synthetic foam mattresses because they are breathable and have thermo-regulating properties.
Research says that it is important to have a slightly cold sleep temperature, i.e., around 60-70 degrees. While those living in the upper floors of the building can use AC or Fan during summers to regulate the temperature; it is not possible for all to spend so much.
Ways to Keep Your Sleep Temperature Cool
There are ample ways that you can try and experiment with to keep your sleep environment cool and pleasant to have an undisturbed sound sleep. Here are some of the ways to make your mattress feel cooler-
- Mattress Protector: Go for a premium-quality mattress protector, preferably made of cotton terry. Cotton terry is absolutely comfortable and soft and enhances sleep quality. Sleep Spa Cotton Terry Waterproof Mattress Protector is made of breathable, cool fabric. It allows fresh air to pass through, which avoids any excess heat during sleep hours.
- Keep Yourself Hydrated: Drink more and more water all-day long. Always have a water bottle beside your bed so that you can drink whenever you feel a bit uneasy.
- Change your Pillow: Overheating around the face and head is far more irritating and disturbing than on the lower-body. Some people use a pillow for the neck while others hug a pillow and sleep. But in this way their nose is in direct contact with the pillow. A low-quality pillow might cause heating and lead to respiratory issues. So, go for Sleep Spa Dream Contour Talalay Latex Pillow that has unique air chambers. This increases airflow for a cool night’s sleep.
- Wear Light Clothes: Try to have minimal or light weight clothes when you go to sleep. Wearing heavy and thick clothes sometimes is a cause of heat and sweat at night.
- Keep your Pulses Cold: Those having serious sleep issues due to heating and warm temperature should try an ice bag. They can even keep an ice bottle with them at night. It can be placed in the pulse area which can make the whole-body temperature cool.
- Place the fan optimally- Position a fan by your bed to create a cooling breeze. Consider ceiling fans for better room ventilation, ensuring blades turn counterclockwise to push cool air downward. Placing a bowl of ice-cold water in front of the fan can enhance the cooling effect. For precise temperature control, adding air conditioning is also an option.
- Limit the use of heating appliances- Before bed, do not use heating appliances such as lamps or computers, and turn off all electronic devices around you. Lowering heat sources in a place of repose may lead to better sleep quality as the overall warmth declines.
- Use ventilating bed frames- For better air ventilation, a bed with a slatted base is recommended which has slats at its base with gaps in between them that allow air to pass.
- Try a Cooling Mattress Pad- A cooling mattress pad is a thin layer made up of either breathable material like cotton, wool, or gel put on the bed to make it cool since it absorbs the heat from the body and provides a cooler sleeping surface.
- Use a Dehumidifier- Utilize a dehumidifier to lower the humidity levels in your space, helping you feel cooler as moisture evaporates faster from your skin. This may also result in a slight decrease in temperature by a few degrees.
- Consider Roofing Materials and Insulation- Choose cool roof materials with high solar reflectance, like light-colored shingles or reflective coatings, which reflect sunlight away from the building, and ensure proper attic insulation to prevent heat transfer from the roof to the interior space.
