The 15 Best Cooling Mattresses for Perpetually Sweat-Drenched Sleepers

• Mattress Type: hybrid
• Firmness: medium-plush
• Height: 13 inches
• Trial Period: 100 nights
• Return Policy: you can return the mattress after 30 days for free (so long as it’s within the 100-day trial period).

This foam and coil hybrid mattress has it all. It offers sufficient back support while still feeling super plush and cozy and has layered cooling technology that provides a six-degree cooler sleep which will help you have a deeper and better-quality rest. Plus, it includes Casper’s signature HeatDelete Bands, which are designed to remove excess body heat at a higher rate than their previous models creating cooler sleep for over 12 hours. It also has a cool-to-touch surface upon crawling into bed thanks to the QuickCool Cover top layer.

Take it from one reviewer, who says the snow technology is so cooling, she even provides a warning: “I decided to splurge for the Snow version since my partner is always sleeping hot. Definitely doesn't disappoint, though I'm now sleeping cooler and have to have an extra blanket on. Hopefully soon they'll have half snow/half regular Wave Hybrids for those couples who each have different preferences and end up sleeping in the same bed.”

What’s more, “you really can feel the different zones on the Wave Hybrid,” former editor Brianna Lapolla shared in a PureWow100 review. “What makes Casper’s updated model so great is that it pays particular focus to spine alignment…I’m a die-hard side and back sleeper, constantly switching between the two positions, so I personally need a mattress that’s soft enough to not cause pressure on my hips and shoulders, but firm enough to offer support under my lower back… I noticed a difference from the very first night, when I didn’t wake up at 5 a.m. with the sudden urge to lay on my hardwood floor to get some pain relief.”

• Mattress Type: polyfoam and memory foam
• Firmness: medium-soft
• Height: 11 inches
• Trial Period: 100 nights
• Return Policy: mattresses can be returned within 100 days of the delivery date without additional shipping charges

What happens when you combine automatic temperature adjustments, thermal heat sensors and individualized cooling technology? This all-foam mattress, which is the closest thing you’ll find to cooling nirvana. First, you have the construction of the mattress itself, which features five adaptive layers of foam with a high-density support system that offers a medium-soft feel. But what really makes this thing special is its “Active Grid” cover, which zips around the mattress and contains a network of tubes that connects to “The Hub” (an external water container). Basically, the cover works with the Eight Sleep app to individually adjust the water temperature (aka the surface temperature of the mattress) to each side, falling anywhere between 55 and 100 degrees. As if that weren’t enough, the cover also has “autopilot sensors,” which learn your ideal thermal environment, automatically adjusts to your body heat and provide health tracking feedback (like sleep patterns, heart rate, breathing, etc.) in the accompanying app.

“We’ve had [this mattress] for a year and I will never own [anything different]. Being able to heat up my side of the bed while my husband’s side is cooled off is incredible. I’d buy again for that feature alone,” writes one reviewer. The analytics are another oft-raved about feature. “The sleep data is a vast wealth of riches for what could help diagnose ongoing health issues. My wife and can’t live without it,” another reviewer shared.

Oh, and did we mention that it also includes a vibrating alarm feature, which can eliminate loud beeps or ringtones when you wake up in the morning?

• Mattress Type: gel memory foam
• Firmness: plush
• Height: 12 inches
• Trial Period: none
• Return Policy: this mattress is sold and fulfilled by Amazon, so you can return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.

This boxed bed sounds too good to be true, but take the word of 13,700-plus reviewers: It’s the real deal. It features a gel memory foam layer at the top for temperature regulation you can feel at the surface, along with two extra layers of high-density, ventilated foam that offers maximum plushness with a sinkable feel. The memory foam not only conforms to your body and regulates heat with a porous, open-cell design, but the stretch knit cover also helps to wick away moisture while increasing breathability and circulation.

Take it from editor Sydney Meister, who’s slept on the mattress for the last two years. “While the gel-infused foam offers maximum ventilation (aka sweat-free nights), its high-density foam layer conforms to your body and relieves pressure points. Not only did it have the plush, sink-into-me effect I was looking for, but it does exactly what it says: Keeps me cool all night long. That said, it’s also worth mentioning that this mattress might be prone to sinking over time (and I’ve flipped it twice now). However, for the price—coupled with the fact that it comes with two cooling pillows—I personally don’t mind the extra legwork.”

• Mattress Type: TEMPUR memory foam
• Firmness: medium
• Height: 12-13 inches
• Trial Period: 90 days
• Return Policy: if you don't love your new mattress after 30 days, they’ll refund your money (with additional shipping charges)

There’s no doubt you’re familiar with the luxurious qualities of a Tempur-Pedic. And if you’ve been lusting over one of these top-of-the-line beds, this cooling iteration should be first on your list. Basically, what makes this mattress so unique (aside from Tempur-Pedic’s famous, body-conforming foam) is that it’s formulated with a TEMPUR-CM comfort layer, which was specially designed in a thermal laboratory to help manage the climate between your mattress and your covers. The foam is infused with cooling fibers and premium ventilation to enable better airflow, while the cool-to-the-touch SmartClimate cover adapts and adjusts to your body’s temperature throughout the night. That said, the mattress is offered in four different firmness options and degrees of cooling, from three degrees with medium firmness to eight degrees with soft plushness.

“[This mattress] is very comfortable and you can really feel the difference in temperature. Very useful in the southwest. It might actually be a little TOO cool for my wife (but perfect for me). We're thinking about buying some thicker sheets just to get a little better balance,” writes one reviewer.

If you and your partner have opposite sleep styles, this pick could also be perfect for you. “I am a side sleeper and usually prefer a soft bed, while my husband sleeps on his back/side and prefers firm. We got the medium and [my back] feels great…I feel fully rested for the first time in forever,” another reviewer says. “My husband loves it too, and I'd recommend it to anyone with restless/hot sleeping and back pain.”

• Height: 12 inches
• Trial Period: 100 days
• Return Policy: if you choose to return the mattress within the trial period, Sealy will refund your money, pick it up for free, and donate it to a local charity.

This hybrid mattress is new to Cocoon by Sealy’s collection and features a premium stretch-knit cover infused with Phase Change Material that helps you fall asleep faster at a cooler temperature. Under the cooling cover, there are three other layers of memory foam, coiling and support, all making for a bed that’s neither too soft, nor too firm, according to most reviewers.

Its pressure-relieving memory foam and premium coils work together to offer improved airflow, while the premium knit cover offers a cool-to-touch surface that can regulate your temperature as you sleep (aka the best of both worlds).

“I’m a hot sleeper—as in, my sheets turn yellowish because I sweat—[and] I was frustrated because I couldn't use white sheets…I've [slept on this mattress] now for over a month and I can honestly say, I don't think I've sweat even once. Thank the mattress Gods! And a bonus, I like my mattresses on the firmer side, but not hard as a rock. This mattress is a six [out of] ten on the firmness scale in my opinion. Perfect for most people,” raves one reviewer.

This spring-based mattress (which also happens to be extra plush) is designed to cool from the breathable, organic cotton pillow top layer and the dual-coil system that provides optimal airflow. The coil base makes the bed heavily durable, so it can last you a long time without sagging, and you can also customize this bed by height and firmness.

Take it from senior editor Dana Dickey, who gave this mattress 94 points out of 100 in a PureWow100 review: “Previously, I’ve enjoyed the feel of memory foam mattresses, but found them hot. The Saatva Classic has a top layer made of breathable organic cotton and three-inch pillow-top cushiness, so I’ve never overheated. And the entire layer cake of its construction is engineered to provide support where your back needs it most—the top is extra-quilted in the lumbar region, and there are additional lumbar supports made of wire and high-density memory foam.”

But that’s not all—the mattress features two more layers and a total of 1,300 coils to provide support. “I appreciate that it is crafted with a nice firm bumper of high-density rails around the bed so that they don’t droop, as is the case with too many memory foam mattresses,” Dickey added.

This is a memory foam-favorite. It has a quilted cooling topper that is extremely breathable, and it contains five layers of different materials designed to not only cool but relieve pressure, contour your body, support, stabilize and protect against wear and tear. The gel-infused foam is great for ensuring you don’t feel your partner tossing and turning through the night, and two pillows, a mattress protector and sheets are included with every mattress purchase at no extra cost, so you get more bang for your buck.

In a PureWow100 review of this mattress, former editor Kara Cuzzone writes: “First of all, the mattress’ five layers are designed to relieve common pressure points for a difference that I can actually feel when I lay down after a long day. Plus, its gel memory foam ensures that body heat gets distributed evenly throughout which is a total game-changer for hot sleepers like me. Those factors, combined with its medium firmness ensure that I sleep straight through the night and wake up feeling like I just got 10-plus hours of sleep in a luxe hotel bed.”

Beauty Rest is known for their plush but firm mattresses, and this one leans more toward the firm side. This bed has three layers of memory foam and it’s topped with three inches of gel foam to increase cooling and airflow while the other layers work to bring support and comfort. The cover is moisture-wicking, and it has a low motion transfer, which is great for wiggly sleepers. (Bonus: You can also talk with a mattress expert on the site if you have questions before you buy.)

“I am menopausal and have frequent night sweats and hot flashes. [Switching to this mattress] has really helped [with hot flashes]…[I’ve] slept through the night, every night since we bought it,” one reviewer says.

One year in, another reviewer attests that this mattress holds up nicely: “It is so comfortable and stays cool! Weight distribution is great, no movement when I get out of bed. I feel rested and no aches.”

• Return Policy: Serta offers free returns for all mattresses within 100 days of purchase

With a Reactex System that provides 15 times more cooling power for the ultimate chill, Serta created a mattress that’s just as comfortable as it is chill. It features a unique three-part cooling system that pulls heat away from your body and deep into the mattress. What’s more, it’s packed with layers of premium, body-hugging memory foam that conforms to your body and keeps you supported. And while many reviewers prefer the firmer feel (especially stomach and back sleepers), you also have a ‘plush’ option, which is ideal for side sleepers.

One reviewer says, “This mattress is so beneficial to those like me who get hot at night and toss and turn just to get comfy and cool down…[It’s] made with different layers that each do something important; [the] very top layer is a heat-absorbing material that helps cool you, then you have the memory foam which I totally felt once I laid down on it. Then comes the cool pressure memory foam (double memory foam is the best thing ever!) and finally at the bottom, the foam core which supports whatever sleep position you like. I no longer toss in bed trying to cool down and find a comfortable position, and I no longer wake up with stiff body aches.”

This memory foam mattress has body-adaptive foam designed to provide extra spinal support while you sleep, but it also contours to your body in whatever position you end up in, to make sure your back is well-aligned. It’s also worth mentioning that it has an added layer of pocketed coils atop the foam that was specially designed to support the spine and reduce back pain. Not only does the foam layer keep you ultra-cooled, but it offers a medium-plush feel that combines comfort and pressure relief all in one.

“Let me say, it is the best sleep I’ve ever gotten,” writes one reviewer. “It is a medium plush feel that both my wife and I love. She’s a light sleeper and I’m always moving—she never wakes up now.”

This mattress has a five-pound premium memory foam that will fully stabilize your body in your go-to sleeping position to keep you supported and aligned all night long. The cooling gel foam offers extra lower back support and ultra-breathability to avoid night sweating, and it comes with an antimicrobial, 100 percent cotton cover. Oh, and it’s ideal for couples with different sleep styles, where the ‘relaxed firm’ version offers a versatile feel that’s good for back-pain sufferers and side sleepers alike.

“[After two weeks of sleeping on this mattress], I've only had one instance of night sweats,” writes one reviewer. “This is a big deal for me because [my last] mattress was a bed of molten lava for me most nights. (Something I'm sure a lot of other women of a certain age range would agree with.) I'm now sleeping SO much more soundly, feeling fully supported, comfortable, and enjoying that brilliant heat dispersing layer. Plus, I'm no longer waking up with pain in my shoulders, hips, and back.”

• Mattress Type: hybrid
• Firmness: medium-firm
• Height: 12 inches
• Trial Period: 100 days
• Return Policy: Bear will refund your mattress within the trial period—free of charge

The memory foam of Bear’s best-selling mattress contains a copper-infused foam that effectively cools body temperature but isn’t immediately chilling to touch—making it great if you run hot deeper into your sleep cycle. The reason side sleepers love it? The Responsive Transition Foam layer offers targeted pressure relief with balanced support, to ensure your spinal curvatures stay straight throughout the night. Not to mention that it also includes individually encased coils that offer superior lumbar support—while also providing first-class pressure relief, motion isolation, and breathability.

One side sleeper raves, “I like a soft mattress, but I sleep WAY hot. (Welcome to your 40s, ladies.) I'm saying goodbye, night sweats! Sleeping a ton better. There was an adjustment period going from a foam mattress to one with springs again, but it was worth it. I even [had to] put a blanket on my bed, [it was so cooling].” And another person adds: “I need a firm mattress, and the elite hybrid medium firm is perfect for me. Good back support, but also soft enough on the top so that my hips and shoulders feel supported.”

Here, a go-to mattress for couples who need something plush yet firm. While the base is constructed with individually encased coils and a foam foundation—giving it a firm-solid feel—it’s balanced with five layers of cushy memory foam for soft, contoured body support. More importantly, it includes a gel memory foam layer with innerspring coils that work together to neutralize any stuffiness or heat retention happening under the covers for a cool, comfy sleep. It’s also available in three models—including the hybrid, the premier hybrid and the premier rest hybrid—so you can upgrade the hybrid with a plush pillowtop and extra layers of pressure-relieving technology.

“[Mine and my husband’s] biggest concern was the firmness, cooling, and movement [when selecting a mattress]. I did not want to feel like I could not roll over because I was stuck in memory foam. I feel like we got exactly what we were looking for. It is firm but soft, cooling and we cannot tell if the other person is moving around. I used to wake up to him tossing and turning because of his pain, but now I don't even feel him move at all so I get a full night’s sleep,” writes one reviewer. They also add: “It is so cooling since it is made of [gel memory foam]. Our bed is almost too cold when we first get in it, but somehow it always turns out to be the perfect temperature once we get in it and cover up.”

Made with a layer of green tea-and-charcoal-infused memory foam, it makes sense why this mattress has racked up a 4.5-star rating with more than 67,000 reviews. It features cooling layers of gel- and Green Tea-infused memory foam while its breathable knit cover helps to dissipate heat. It’s also great for anyone with a unique sleeping style—from stomach sleepers who roll all over the place to side sleepers who dig their hip into the mattress—where it includes thick layers of memory foam, which are designed to individually conform to your sleep style and provide adaptive support where you need it most.

Take it from one happy customer, who says: “I sleep hot and have had zero issues since buying this [mattress last year]. I live in an old family house, no central air, humid & hot south and STILL haven't sweat in this bed! So it legitimately sleeps cool. My fiancé and I like a pretty firm mattress... I'm a stomach sleeper and he weighs 235 pounds, and it's held up perfectly for both of us.”

Looking for a mattress that, even when you do sweat, is super easy to clean? This one has a removable, machine-washable cover that makes it easy to keep the mattress in ‘mint’ condition (no pun intended). It’s made from three foam layers with ceramic cooling gel beads and graphite that keep your body temperature neutral, adaptive foam contours to your sleep style to prevent tossing and turning. Even better; it has antimicrobial protection to help prevent degradation from microorganisms and avoid any bacteria growth.

“We bought this mattress a couple months ago and it has been a chilling experience,” writes one reviewer. “I am a side sleeper and my husband has sports injuries, so we wanted to make sure that this mattress worked for both of our needs. It does! The cooling feature works a little too well, which causes us both to have to wrap up in extra layers to ensure that our body is warm enough for sleep. So anyone whose looking for a mattress that prevents night sweats this is the one to purchase.”

Another standout feature? Also, another person writes: “Really like that the top unzips and can be washed,” another reviewer explains. Oh, and it doesn’t have that lingering chemical-y smell some new mattresses have: “No unpleasant odors either after the first day or so.”
