Getting a good night’s sleep during the hottest months can be a challenge, but a cooling mattress topper could help make your bed feel more comfortable. Some are designed with breathable materials that help prevent heat and moisture build-up, while others use cool-touch fabrics to create a refreshing sensation as soon as you lie down, according to Hannah Shore, sleep scientist at Mattress Online.
While a cooling mattress topper won’t transform your bed into an ice-cold surface, the right choice can help take the edge off during warmer nights. To find the best options, I’ve tested a range of toppers that promise to keep you cooler, putting them through their paces during both mild spring weather this year and the intense summer heatwaves we experienced last year.
