9 Best Cooling Mattresses of 2025, Tested by AD Editors

While you can invest in high-quality sheets, the best cooling mattresses have a few things in common: A cooling cover, breathable layers, and body temperature control technology. An affordable price point doesn’t hurt either. That’s why we chose Cocoon by Sealy The Chill mattress as our top overall pick. This hybrid mattress is a dream for hot sleepers, thanks to a top cover that won’t trap your body heat. Plus, it can keep you comfortable through the night with a reactive bounce designed to adapt to your body and sleep position. Talk about a great foundation for a good night’s sleep.

To accommodate every type of sleeper, our other picks include breathable foams and organic covers that might just end the tossing-and-turning in the middle of the night, especially if you sleep hot. We also consider edge support (no rolling off the bed here!) as well as pressure-relief features, because no one wants to wake up with back pain or sore hips.

To help along the way, AD editors and contributors set out to test the best in their homes—after all, the high-end bedding we review needs a mattress of equal quality. Cooling features our team kept an eye out for include everything from couture-level fabrics to gel-infused foam to pocketed coils that help with motion isolation. We also looked at different mattress types (latex, hybrid, memory foam) and considered a variety of firmness levels. Below are our favorites, many of which come with a lengthy trial period, extensive warranties, and even white glove delivery for streamlined setup. Take a peek at all the best cooling mattress options to suit your needs, below.

For consistency, all of the prices in this list reflect queen sizes.

Best Cooling Mattress, Overall

Cocoon by Sealy Chill Mattress

Reviewer: Cade Hiser, contributor

“While my previous mattress was on the firmer side, it was not a memory foam or very cool mattress,” says Hiser in his review. “With the Cocoon Chill memory foam mattress, I do not wake up in the middle of the night like I used to, tossing and turning. I also stay sleeping at a comfortable temperature throughout the night.” The mattress clearly prioritizes body temperature control—hence the name. Hiser did note that since this memory foam mattress is a bit firmer, it may take a moment to adjust if you’re used to purely soft beds. The mattress comes in a box and is ready to be rolled out.

The Budget Pick

Allswell Supreme Cooling Hybrid Mattress

Reviewer: Rebecca Grambone, contributor

At 14 inches thick, the Allswell Supreme Mattress certainly makes a statement, but it’s the copper foam layer that contours and has cooling properties that make it stand out. “I feel supported yet super comfortable, and, as promised, it keeps me very cool,” says Grambone in her review. “Their cooling technology actively draws and releases excess heat away from your body.” The 1.5-inch quilted top further ensures that you will sleep cool.

Note that Allswell skews on the firmer side and if you’re not used to this, an adjustment period might be in store. Grambone did like that the company prizes customization for different beds, such as those with a box spring, a flat platform bed frame, an adjustable bed frame, or a slatted bed frame.

Best Hybrid Mattress

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress

Reviewer: Amy Astley, Global editorial director and US editor in chief

Astley loves quite a few things about her Saatva mattress—the five ergonomic zones for support and the bed’s pressure-relieving qualities—and does not overlook the cooling component. The mattress is hand-tufted, hypoallergenic, and made of organic natural latex with organic cotton and New Zealand wool covers to promote cooler sleep. “[My husband and I] both sleep warm and appreciate the vented airflow channels, which allow for circulation and breathability,” she says. “When my husband shifts, I cannot feel the bed moving–heaven. Ultimately, we are both so happy to tuck into this bed and don’t really want to get out of it in the morning.”

Astley refers to the Saatva as “mattress gold” because of its comfort, body heat regulation, and the ability to make her lower back pain disappear. She notes that it is firm, but not rock hard, and is suitable for back sleepers (as vetted by her husband) and side-sleepers such as herself.

A High-Tech Option

Sleep Number i8 Smart Bed

Reviewer: Lisa Aiken, senior vice president of commerce at Condé Nast

Sleep Number mattresses are lauded for their adjustable nature, and the i8 is a smart bed that also happens to help keep you from overheating thanks to its ceramic gel layer. The Responsive Air feature amps up the sleep quality by responding to movement throughout the night. “This mattress is exactly the firmness that I want on one side and exactly how my husband prefers on the other,” says Aiken. “It is easily changed and adjusted on the App, which links your phone to the bed via Bluetooth so you can adjust at any time to suit your mood.”

Aiken was also impressed by the “exceptional customer service and delivery experience,” which not only included a smooth process that included the mattress setup, but also assistance with explaining how to use the Sleep Number App and all its capabilities so she could get the most out of her sleep experience.

Best Luxury Mattress

Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt Mattress

Reviewer: Sam Cochran, global features director

Tempur-Pedic’s reputation as a luxury mattress brand with exceptional performance can be attributed to its roots—the cushioning material was originally developed for NASA’s pilot test expeditions. The motion absorption on the ProAdapt medium hybrid mattress surpassed Cochran’s expectations. “I share a bed with my boyfriend of several years and his rescue cocker spaniel, so there can be a lot of movement as we all try to get comfortable and fall asleep,” he says in the best mattress brands guide. “I was thrilled that I couldn’t feel either of them tossing or turning throughout the night. I sleep like a rock, often waking up in the same position as I fell asleep in. Interestingly, I’ve been deviating from my usual strict side-slumber, edge-of-bed position, sleeping on my back or sometimes (to my boyfriend’s frustration) on a diagonal. I guess I got too comfortable!”

Temperature regulation is not an issue, even for the hottest sleepers. Not only is the cover cooling to the touch, but it is removable and washable, so you can maintain your investment over the years. Note that the innersprings are ventilated and have built-in airflow. “Compared to other mattresses I’ve slept on, I am giving it a 10 and I am not someone to lavish false praise,” adds Cochran.

An Organic Mattress

Earthfoam Organic Mattress

Reviewer: Sydney Gore, contributor

You’ll sleep that much better knowing that the breathable Earthfoam organic mattress is made by a company that sticks to Fair Trade practices and sources sustainable rubber wood for its foam production. Gore noticed that she was catching her z’s peacefully because her body “sort of locked into position” as she dozed off, according to her best mattress brands review. “It’s super comfortable and makes me feel like I’m sleeping on a fluffy bread bed. I prefer a bouncier mattress so the fact that this mattress is spongy made us compatible,” she adds. If you’re not used to a foam mattress, give it a few weeks to adjust to the density but don’t worry that you’ll sink into it as if it is quicksand.

Gore does point out that at 8.5 inches thick, the mattress is a bit lower than standard 10 to 12 inch beds. A mattress topper should do the trick. (We’ve tested the Brooklinen down alternative topper and can vet for its cushy layer with just enough loft.)

More AD-Approved Cooling Mattresses

Cariloha Resort Bamboo Mattress

Reviewer: Lisa Aiken, senior vice president of commerce at Condé Nast

Cariloha bamboo mattress has Resort in its name because you’re supposed to feel like you’re on vacation when you sleep. “The mattress is constructed from bamboo memory foam with five distinct layers that adapt and mold to your body shape, resulting in a sleep experience that is both very supportive and pleasantly soft,” Aiken says. Additionally, the mattress has a moisture-wicking feature in its Flex-Flow Base Foam that promises to improve airflow and keep you three degrees Fahrenheit cooler. The removable and washable cover is also made with bamboo, which is something we know and love when it comes to cooling bed sheets.

Aiken also highlights that the side wedge supports “contribute to a feeling of a wider sleep surface (Cariloha claims a 25% increase) but also provide excellent additional structure and reinforcement along the edges and even in the center of the mattress.”

Brentwood Home Oceano Luxury Hybrid Mattress

Reviewer: Nick Mafi, contributor

Brentwood Home Oceano hybrid mattress is what you might dream about if you sleep hot. It is constructed of nine layers, including cooling gel made with BioFoam. The GOTS-certified organic wool and cotton further add to the breathability. “This mattress feels so luxurious after a long day running around NYC,” says Mafi in his review of the best mattress brands. “This mattress has that perfectly deluxe feel and best-in-class support. I love sleeping on this mattress, but it’s also perfect for reading and editing manuscripts (my main activity!), working on a laptop, and lounging around watching TV with friends.”

Then there is the support. With nearly 2,700 coils (1,722 micro-coils and 975 pocketed coils around the perimeter), you will never feel as if you’re sinking into some sort of abyss. Compared to other mattresses on the list, this one does not have a firm feel. In fact, Mafi was initially wary of the 4.5 out of 10 firmness scale. “I’ve never considered myself someone who loves a soft bed, but boy was I wrong!” he explains. “I love this mattress. It’s squishy, but still supportive. Perhaps it’s the Air Luxe foam, which helps with pressure relief, at play.

Reviewer: Diane Dragan, the global content strategy and operations director at AD

The Puffy Cloud is meant to feel like bliss, and it lives up to its name not only in the comfort category but also because the six-layer memory foam mattress incorporates cooling technology that allows the air to circulate, so you never feel like your torso is a prisoner of night sweats. “The light, supportive cradling of the foam layers is comforting and cool,” says Dragan. “It really is cloud-like! Unlike other mattresses I’ve tested, your body doesn’t sink into the layers of foam as much as it rests lightly on the surface.”

“The Puffy Cloud Mattress, though, is firm relative to other foam mattresses I’ve tested, which I enjoy,” she adds. “It makes turning and shifting easier, without needing to semi-wake to roll over.” This mattress is also durable—Dragan noticed that any body imprints pop back quickly, and is hopeful this will hold up for some time.

How We Tested

As sleep experts—after all, we treat Sleep Week as a premier event every year—and do more than catch some z’s. In deciding what qualifies as the best cooling mattress, our editors and contributors test out the products firsthand by considering every personal preference. That’s why we personally review firm and softer mattresses, as well as those with a medium-firm feel. Here is what we consider before making the selections.

Cooling features and temperature regulation: Foam beds may have a reputation for trapping heat, but not if you know what to look for. The best mattress brands are constantly updating their cooling features with patented technologies, which often come in the form of gel-infused memory foam, moisture-wicking mattress toppers, and coil designs that prize airflow.

Comfort: Cooling and comfort go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you only focus on one of these factors, the sleeping experience will likely not feel well-rounded. Some of the best cooling mattresses on this list stand out because of edge control, motion isolation, and pressure-relieving qualities. Brands that emphasize spine alignment and attention to pressure points get bonus points.
