What are the benefits of cooling bedding?

If you sleep hot then you know how uncomfortable it can make you, often leading to disrupted nights. And it’s not just in bed that you feel the effects. Sleeping hot can also mean spending the day after feeling tired, irritated and worn down. But with some good bedding choices you can stay cooler at night.

Of course, the obvious choice is to invest in one of the best cooling mattresses, which use cooling tech such as gel-infused foams and Phase Change material to regulate temperatures. Phase Change materials work by absorbing excess heat and releasing it so you get an ambient, comfortable sleep environment. Cooling mattresses and bedding also use breathable materials including linen, cotton and bamboo, allowing air to circulate freely and prevent a build up of excess heat.

By wicking away moisture and promoting additional airflow, cooling bedding can keep you feeling dry and comfortable all night long. Whether you opt for a cooling mattress topper, cooling pillow, or cooling sheets, cooling bedding can make a huge difference to how well you sleep. By maintaining a comfortable temperature you suffer less disruptions, maintaining a deeper sleep to feel totally rested the next day.
