As summer heats up, so does your bedroom—unless you’ve equipped it with the right sleep setup. At City Mattress, we know that nothing disrupts a good night’s rest quite like waking up in a sweat. That’s why we’ve created this guide to the best cooling mattresses, sheets, and pillows to help you sleep comfortably through the warmest months.
Whether you're a hot sleeper year-round or just need a seasonal switch, these cooling sleep essentials will keep you refreshed and well-rested.
Why Sleeping Cool Matters
Your body temperature naturally drops as part of your sleep cycle. When your room or bedding traps too much heat, it can disrupt this process, causing tossing, turning, and fragmented sleep. Cooling mattresses and breathable bedding materials help regulate temperature and wick away moisture, promoting deeper, more restorative rest.
Best Cooling Mattresses for Summer Nights
1. Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Breeze® Collection
This line is a game-changer for hot sleepers. Designed to feel up to 8° cooler than traditional memory foam, TEMPUR-Breeze® mattresses use phase-change material and ventilation channels to draw heat away from your body.
Why it’s cool:
- Advanced cooling technology with cool-to-the-touch SmartClimate® covers.
- Pressure-relieving support with Ventilated Advanced Relief™ material for enhanced airflow.
- Pure Cool® material actively pulls heat away from the body throughout the night.
2. PranaSleep® Dharma, Karma, and Asha Collections
These handcrafted luxury mattresses feature natural and proprietary Talalay latex layers and PranaCOOL® Technology—a signature quilting with fabric that creates a cool-to-the-touch feel, allowing you to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Key cooling features:
- Natural and instant cooling from PranaCOOL® technology quilting.
- Breathable, open-cell Talalay latex for optimal airflow without chemical additives.
- Karma models also feature copper-infused latex to deflect heat for all-night cool comfort.
3. Beautyrest Black® with Sleep Climate™ Technology
Engineered for hot sleepers, these premium mattresses combine breathable layers and heat-conductive materials to deliver cool, consistent comfort all night long.
Key features:

- AirFeel® Foam with open-cell design for enhanced airflow and comfort.
Sheets and Pillowcases for Staying Cool
Naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, bamboo is a dream fabric for hot sleepers. It's also hypoallergenic and incredibly soft.
Sustainably made from eucalyptus fibers, TENCEL™ sheets offer exceptional breathability and a smooth, silky feel.
Crisp, lightweight, and cool to the touch—percale cotton is perfect if you love that hotel-sheet feel. Look for a 250-300 thread count for the best airflow.
Cool Pillows That Make a Difference
These pillows contour to your head and neck while dissipating heat thanks to infused cooling gels.
Naturally breathable and resistant to dust mites, latex pillows stay cool and fresh all night long.
These pillows feature cooling covers made with FRíO® Rapid Chill Cooling Fibers—a micarex-based fabric that disperses heat 5x faster than ordinary polyester and won’t wash out.
Extra Tips for a Cooler Sleep
- Use a cooling mattress protector: It adds breathability and protects your investment.
- Keep shades closed during the day: Prevent your bedroom from becoming a sauna.
- Try a fan or white noise machine: These improve airflow and promote deeper sleep.
