How Do You Sleep Hot Or Cold?

Some people may enjoy sleeping in a warm environment, but overheating during the night can severely disrupt the quality of your sleep. This issue is more common than many people realise. When your body overheats while you sleep, you may become restless, tossing and turning as your limbs poke out from under the duvet. This can result in a less refreshing deep sleep, leaving you feeling as though you never went to bed at all. After receiving feedback from customers over many years, we have identified five key factors that may be causing you to overheat while you sleep.

Memory foam mattresses, while loved for their comfort, can actually contribute to overheating. The density of memory foam means that warm air becomes trapped between your body and the mattress, leading to discomfort during the night. Switching to a high-quality, deep mattress with premium fillings can also lead to overheating. 

Synthetic fibre duvets, made from polyester, are not ideal for regulating body temperature while you sleep. Despite marketing claims of breathability, polyester duvets can cause sweating and discomfort. Opting for a duvet with a natural filling, such as goose or duck down, can help restore a good night's sleep. Maintaining a slightly cooler room temperature in the bedroom compared to the rest of the house can also prevent overheating. Opening a window, if possible, can help regulate your body temperature and prevent heat from building up under the duvet. 

By addressing these key factors, you can improve the quality of your sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested. Also an incorrect Tog Rating on Your Duvet can be a major issue. It may seem obvious, but if your duvet is too warm, it's time to make a change and opt for something lighter. Nowadays, manufacturers offer duvets with ratings as low as 2.5 tog, providing high-quality and evenly-filled bedding. For those seeking the lightest warmth rating to combat stifling heat, Dacron Coolmax is the tried and tested choice.

Medical Conditions. If you're experiencing temperature fluctuations throughout the night, it may be beneficial to consult with your GP. Changes in temperature can disrupt sleep, but there are effective solutions available that can greatly improve your overall well-being, health and quality of life.

Memory Foam Mattress Overheating, what are your options. Have you ever invested a significant amount of money in a mattress that felt amazing in the store, only to discover later that it causes you to overheat? This is a common issue that many people face, and unfortunately, once you complain about it, there is often no possibility of returning or refunding the product. Memory foam and latex mattresses, developed by NASA, are designed to conform to your body shape and provide a unique level of comfort. While some individuals adore these types of mattresses, others find them uncomfortable due to the heat that builds up between the body and the mattress throughout the night. The density of the foam prevents heat from dissipating as it would with a traditional mattress.

Fortunately, there are solutions available to address this problem. One highly effective solution is the Coolmax Mattress Protectors or the latest Aerelle Cool Night Mattress Toppers. These products contain a secret ingredient that absorbs and releases heat as your body temperature fluctuates, ensuring a comfortable sleeping experience. The material draws warmth from your body and returns to a cool state when the heat is removed, providing a consistent level of comfort throughout the night.

Another solution is to use a 3-inch deep mattress topper, such as the Pure Duck Down Combo topper, which creates a barrier between your body and the mattress. This allows air to flow freely, preventing the buildup of heat. While this may result in less moulding into the mattress, it is a small price to pay for avoiding the discomfort of overheating. In conclusion, if you are experiencing overheating issues with your memory foam mattress, there are effective solutions available to help you achieve a comfortable and restful night's sleep.
