When shopping for a new hybrid mattress, comfort and sleep quality are top of mind.
But if you’re someone who overheats at night, there’s one burning question you’ve likely come across:
Are hybrid mattresses hot?
The short answer? Not necessarily—but it depends on the type of hybrid mattress you choose.
Let’s break down what hybrid mattresses are, how they keep heat, and what options are available if you sleep too hot.
What Is a Hybrid Mattress?
First things first - what exactly is a hybrid mattress?
Hybrid mattresses combine two types of mattress technologies for a better sleep. It’s a combination of:
- A supportive pocket spring system for better spinal alignment and durability.
- Comfort layers made of foam for pressure relief and cushioning.
While the result is a mattress that offers the best of both worlds, the foam layer can cause problems for over heaters.
Do Hybrid Mattresses Keep Heat?
Memory foam is known for its heat retention.
As it moulds to your body, it provides a cosy but sometimes warm sleep environment.
While pocket springs promote airflow, the foam traps heat, which can be an issue for hybrid mattresses that feature a memory foam layer.
While this isn’t an issue for everyone, it's something to keep in mind if you’re a hot sleeper.
So, are hybrid mattresses hot?
They can be warmer than pocket spring mattresses, particularly if they don’t include any cooling technology.
But don’t give up on hybrids just yet - there’s a solution!
The Cool Solution: Hybrid Mattresses with Cooling Gel
If you want a hybrid mattress but don’t want to feel like you’re in a sauna, consider hybrid mattresses with cooling gel.
Here’s how it works:
- Cooling gel layers are infused into the foam.
- These gel-infused layers draw heat from your body to help you stay cool throughout the night.
- Pair this with better airflow from pocket springs and you've got the perfect blend of support and coolness.
At eze™ Mattress we have our exclusive Cooleze™ hybrid Deluxe mattresses that features a 2cm thick gel-infused memory foam layer, including our brand-new Cooleze Hybrid Platinum mattress.
You don’t necessarily need cooling gel either. Which? provides comprehensive ratings for mattresses and rates their warmth. And many high-quality hybrid mattresses can run cooler than you expect.
For example, our eze™ Hybrid Ultra Mattress is rated as “average warmth” by Which?, while the eze™ Hybrid Max Mattress is rated “cold”.
Final Thoughts
So, are hybrid mattresses hot? It depends.
Traditional hybrids can keep some heat due to their foam layers. But cooling gel hybrids feature gel-infused foam layers to keep you cool.
If you overheat at night, look for features like cooling gel and pocket springs that promote airflow.
By choosing a hybrid with cool tech, you’ll enjoy restful, cool nights without sacrificing comfort.
Say goodbye to sweaty nights and hello to refreshing sleep with a cooling gel hybrid mattress.
