What is the Best Cooling Mattress Topper?

When Houston’s summer heat has you tossing and turning all night, you might be wondering: is there a cooling mattress topper that actually works? The short answer is yes; however, not all cooling toppers are created equal — and when it comes to sleeping cooler, mattress components are key! 

At Texas Mattress Makers, we’ve been helping hot sleepers find relief for over four decades, and we’re here to introduce you to the best cooling mattress topper component in the industry: our Ice Blue Cooling Technology. 

Made with premium materials and innovative cooling tech, this component will keep your body feeling cool and comfortable all night long — not just for a few hours. But before we dive into all of the benefits of investing in a cooling mattress, let’s discuss why you might be waking up feeling hot and uncomfortable.

Reasons why you might sleep hot

Why do I get so hot when I sleep? We understand that waking up on sweaty sheets is less than ideal, so in order to fix that, we need to understand the “why.” Several factors can contribute to nighttime overheating:

• Your current mattress: Most memory foams and other dense materials trap body heat instead of allowing it to dissipate. When your mattress holds all of that heat with nowhere to go, it will bounce right back into contact with your skin, leaving you hot and sweaty as you sleep.
• Room temperature: Studies show that the optimal sleep temperature is somewhere between 60-70°F because it’s closer to your body’s internal temperature regulation. If your bedroom is warmer than this, your body struggles to maintain the natural temperature drop needed for quality sleep. 
• Personal factors: Hormonal changes, medications, and individual metabolism all affect how much heat you generate during sleep. Sleeping with a partner also increases the amount of body heat that can be trapped in a mattress, which is why we always recommend that couples upgrade to a cooling mattress.

If you do tend to sleep hot and want to know how to avoid sweating in bed, let’s discuss what cooling technology can do to improve your sleep.

Tips for how to stay cool during the night

• Keep your bedroom between 60-70°F to ensure good airflow around your bed. Having a small and subtle fan pointed at your face during particularly hot nights can also help!
• Choose breathable bedding. Natural fibers like cotton and bamboo help wick moisture away from your body.
• Wearing lightweight, moisture-wicking pajamas can make a significant difference.
• Staying hydrated helps your body regulate temperature more effectively.
• Investing in a cooling mattress will ensure that your body heat remains neutral for better long-term comfort. 

Do cooling mattress toppers really work?

In a market full of gimmicky smart mattresses and gadgets, it’s natural to question the validity of cooling mattress toppers. Are mattress toppers worth it? The truth is, traditional cooling toppers made with thin layers of cotton, wool, or gel offer only temporary relief, typically lasting just an hour or two before the effect wears off.

That’s where advanced cooling technology makes all the difference. Here’s a short list of benefits the right cooling component can provide:

• Improved sleep quality
• Reduced night sweats
• Lower air conditioning costs
• Extended mattress life
• Better overall health and well-being

In short, cooling mattress toppers are nothing compared to the long lasting technology of a cooling mattress.

Meet our Ice Blue Cooling Technology

After 45+ years in the mattress business, our founder, Youval Meicler, has tested countless materials and technologies until we found the best cooling mattress topper in the industry. The breakthrough came with phase-changing materials that actively regulate temperature and dissipate your body heat rather than just providing a temporary cool surface.

The Ice Blue technology isn’t just laid on top of your mattress — it’s sewn directly into the top layer quilting of the mattress, meaning it comes into direct contact with your body without the need for excessive materials on top of your bed. 

Fellow hot sleepers and mattress experts, Youval and Rachael, demonstrate how our Ice Blue cooling technology stands out from other cooling toppers as the best of the best.

In summary, the fabric of our Ice Blue cooling technology acts as a barrier, preventing your body heat from penetrating the mattress. Instead, it does away with any heat, promotes air flow, and keeps your temperature neutral all night long. Other cooling toppers can’t neutralize heat the same way Ice Blue can, and they certainly don’t have the same lifespan.

As Youval says, the Ice Blue technology is an absolute necessity, especially if you live in Houston, where summers are long and temperatures are high. Believe us, the quality of your sleep depends on it.

What is the best mattress to reduce body heat?

While other mattress stores in Houston might offer one or two cooling models, here at Texas Mattress Makers, we have endless options for you to choose from. 

While our Hybrid Plus Collection comes with the Ice Blue topper built-in to each mattress, our Ice Blue topper can also be added to any mattress we sell. That’s right: no matter what mattress you are interested in, we can add the cooling technology upgrade so you can enjoy cooler sleep each night.

Most of our mattresses are designed to help promote proper airflow and circulation to eliminate discomfort and sweating. For example, our Quantum™ Collection features 200% more of our individually-wrapped coil component that allows air to flow through the mattress. That paired with our Ice Blue mattress topper will take your sleep experience to the next level.
