Which type of mattress is ideal for the summer months

Summer has arrived and it's finally time to put the winter quilts and blankets in the closet and go for lighter and cooler options for our sleep. Although most people enjoy the summer atmosphere, one area that can prove very difficult is the warmer nights or the heat wave in general. Sleeping during such a period can be uncomfortable and disturbing, as a result of which we do not get the rest we desire. An often overlooked factor in this, is that the mattress can retain too much heat, making it a wrong choice especially for the body of a person who sweats a lot during sleep . When we sleep at night, body heat is transferred to the mattress, which then retains this heat. As the body tries to regulate its temperature, the mattress continues to absorb the heat emitted by it. That's why there are some layering options that are great for helping your body stay cool at night even in the hottest times of summer! 1. Latex mattresses Natural latex mattresses are the ideal choice against high temperatures! They have such a structure that does not trap air and does not overheat. They "breathe" extremely well and are available in all sizes. You can alternatively choose a latex topper if you are not interested in replacing your entire current mattress and are looking for a temporary solution. 2. Cooling Gel Memory Foam Foam mattresses of the past were known for retaining heat. However, the new memory foam mattresses contain state-of-the-art fibers together with cooling gels that absorb and release excess heat within the mattress, leaving a very comfortable surface feel. 3. Hybrid mattresses Many of the new mattresses now focus on a combination of materials and technology to provide an optimal sleeping experience. Especially when it comes to achieving the ideal temperature, a combination of materials like latex with cool max can have… almost miraculous results!
