There are several priorities many of us have when we go to sleep each night, and remaining cool is often high on this list. There are several approaches you may consider here, including some that relate directly or indirectly to your mattress.
At Sunset Bedding, we're proud to offer a huge range of mattress products, from pillow top twin mattress options to plush queen mattresses, pillow top king mattresses and more. Here are some tips from our mattress and sleep experts on how to stay cool at night, involving both mattress-related approaches and others to consider.
Particularly if staying cool during sleep has been a problem for you in the past, one of the first approaches to consider is your mattress. Some types of mattresses are known for retaining heat more than others, and choosing a mattress that doesn't retain as much heat can be a major game-changer when it comes to staying cool at night.
One example here is our Sunset Bedding gel-infused memory foam mattresses, which are specifically designed to help keep you cool while you sleep. The gel infusion helps dissipate body heat, allowing you to stay cool and comfortable all night long.
If investing in a new mattress isn't an option for you right now, or if yours simply isn't conducive to staying cool at night, consider adding a cooling mattress topper. These are specifically designed to regulate your body temperature, helping you stay cool and comfortable while you sleep.
At Sunset Bedding, we offer a variety of cooling mattress toppers, including bamboo and gel-infused options. These can be added to any existing mattress for an instant cooling effect.
Another often-overlooked factor when it comes to staying cool at night is the type of sheets you use. Certain materials, such as cotton or linen, are known for their breathable properties and can help keep you cool throughout the night. Additionally, choosing lighter colors for your sheets can also have a cooling effect, as darker colors tend to absorb more heat from your body.
As you're looking into sheets, pay attention to the thread count as well. Higher thread counts can often trap heat and make you feel hotter while sleeping.
While some people prefer to sleep in pajamas, others find that sleeping naked or with minimal clothing helps them stay cooler at night. If you're a pajama-wearer, opting for lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton or bamboo can also help regulate your body temperature.
In addition to your mattress and bedding, it's important to consider the temperature of your bedroom. Keeping your room cool can play a big role in helping you stay cool at night. Consider using a fan or air conditioner, and try to keep the room as dark as possible for optimal sleep conditions.
Generally speaking, ideal human sleep temperatures are a bit lower than many of us realize – between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Experiment with different temperatures to find what works best for you.
If you're still struggling to stay cool at night, consider investing in a fan or other cooling aid. For example, some people find relief by placing a bowl of ice in front of a fan to create an instant air conditioner effect. Others may benefit from using a cooling pillow or even a chilled eye mask.
In other cases, simply adjusting your sleeping position or removing excess layers of clothing can also be helpful in staying cool. It's important to listen to your body and experiment with different methods until you find the perfect combination for a comfortable and cool night's sleep.
Every few years, a new fad product comes along promising to revolutionize the way we sleep and keep us cool all night long. While some of these products may be legitimate, it's important to do your research before investing in anything too expensive or gimmicky.
So if you hear about a new "cooling technology" or "temperature-regulating" product, be sure to read customer reviews and do some digging before making a purchase. In the end, finding the right combination of mattress, bedding, and room temperature is often more effective than relying on a single fancy-sounding product.
Getting a good night's sleep is crucial for our overall health and well-being, and staying cool at night plays a big role in this. By considering your mattress, bedding materials, pajamas, room temperature, and other aids like fans or cooling products carefully, you can create the perfect sleeping environment for yourself. Don't be afraid to experiment with different methods until you find what works best for you – after all, a good night's sleep is priceless.
