With the days becoming sunshine-filled and the nights much warmer than we’re used to, we can find it difficult to sleep. We have a solution. Our range of summer bedding and mattresses have been specially designed to help keep you cool and comfortable all night long. From lightweight duvets and cool-touch pillows to breathable mattress toppers and temperature regulating mattresses, sleep easier this summer with a little help from Bensons.
A cooling mattress is specially designed with breathable materials and heat-dissipating technology, such as gel-infused foam or moisture-wicking layers, to regulate your body temperature and help you stay cool during the night.
Your body needs to cool down slightly in order to fall asleep and stay asleep. A mattress or bedding that retains too much heat can cause restlessness, disrupted sleep, and night sweats — especially during the heat of the summer or for those who tend to sleep hot most of the time.
Cooling mattresses and temperature regulating bedding is ideal for hot sleepers, anyone prone to overheating or night sweats, people going through menopause, and those living in warmer parts of the UK or experiencing hot weather during a summer heat wave.
Look for naturally breathable fabrics like bamboo, Tencel™, and high-thread-count cotton. Cooling bedding may also use phase-change materials (PCMs), gel infusions, or mesh panels that improve airflow and help wick away heat and moisture. Wool is also a surprisingly great material when it comes to wicking away body heat and moisture too.
Yes, high-quality cooling and temperature regulating mattresses are designed to disperse body heat consistently during the night. The mattresses featured in our Sleep Cool collection all feature unique mattress technologies that helps to keep your temperature better regulated. Whether it’s enhanced breathability, naturally cooling materials, or specially developed cooling gel layers as seen in the iGel collection, these mattresses have been designed with keeping sleepers cool in mind.
Summer bedding tends to be lighter and made with breathable fabrics to promote airflow and help keep you cool while you sleep. Cooling duvets with a lower tog rating (around 4.5 tog) and cooling pillows can significantly improve summer sleep comfort.
Yes, most cooling mattresses are compatible with standard UK bed frames, divans, and slatted bases providing the slats are less that 7cm apart. Just ensure your bed allows for good airflow underneath to help maximise the cooling effect.
Definitely. A cooling mattress topper is an easy and cost-effective way to enhance the comfort of your existing mattress and the breathability of your sleep surface. If you sleep hot, look for one with breathable materials, like our My Nature Airflow Mattress Topper or latex foam for better temperature regulation during the night.
