What are the most breathable mattresses?
Are you tired of waking up in the middle of the night covered in sweat? The capacity of a mattress to promote adequate air circulation is one of the features new mattress buyers consider most important. The choice of material, the design and the accessories are key factors in terms of maintaining a comfortable body temperature during the night and avoiding night sweats.
Materials of choice for a breathable mattress
When it comes to breathable mattresses, two materials stand out: latex and gel. Latex mattresses are renowned for their breathability. Latex is naturally ventilated—a property that allows it to dissipate body heat, thus regulating the temperature of the mattress as you sleep. This enhanced breathability makes latex mattresses particularly suitable for those who have a tendency to get hot during the night.
Certain mattresses incorporate layers of gel, such as Technogel®. Gel is a material that reduces the contact temperature of the mattress. Its thermal conductivity enables it to disperse your body heat, thus helping you maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature. This high-tech material is non-toxic, odorless and resistant to the effects of both use and heat, which can lead to either softening or hardening.
Breathable bedding to the rescue
To stay comfortable during those warm nights, in addition to your mattress, it’s important to consider the bedding you use. Opt for sheets, comforters and mattress covers made from natural fibers, such as wool, cotton, silk, bamboo and linen. These materials allow for good air circulation and help wick moisture away from the body, resulting in a cool, dry sleeping environment.
Besides the material used in the mattress and sheets, bear in mind that there are other factors that influence the breathability of a mattress. These include its overall design, the presence of specific ventilation zones or air channels and the way it combines with the box springs and bed frame. That’s why it’s recommendable to consult the mattress experts at the store to make sure that the model you’re considering offers the breathability you’re looking for.
