Sleep is essential for your physical and mental health, cognitive function, and mood regulation, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. But, as many of us know all too well, a good night’s sleep can’t be forced, especially if you’re a hot sleeper.
If you’ve tried everything to help you doze off — floor fans, blasting the air conditioner all night, sleeping in your birthday suit — and nothing works, maybe your mattress is the culprit.
Many mattresses simply aren’t the right fit for people who sleep hot. Some are made of materials that can trap your body heat and actually make you feel warmer as the night progresses. Some mattresses also have poor ventilation, keeping heat close to your body.
Why is sleeping cool important?
A cool sleep environment doesn’t just feel better, it’s also crucial to sleeping well. Our bodies prepare for and begin the transition into sleep by dropping in temperature, helping us feel drowsy. Sleeping cool helps to hasten the body’s sleep onset — or the time it needs to fall asleep — and to stay asleep so we can cycle through its deepest stages.
The TEMPUR-Breeze collection stands apart from other Tempur-Pedic mattresses in that it’s specially designed to deliver a cooling experience that lasts from the minute you lie down to the moment you wake up.

Designed for space, perfected for hot sleepers
Tempur-Pedic has a fascinating origin story. In the late 1960s, NASA scientists created a groundbreaking viscoelastic, slow spring-back foam to cushion pilots during the rigors of test flights. In the 1980s, Tempur-Pedic took NASA’s foam technology and spent a decade perfecting it for sleep. And so, TEMPUR-Material™ was born.
Today, every Tempur-Pedic mattress is made with this exclusive TEMPUR-Material, which reacts to your body’s temperature and adapts to your unique weight and shape, delivering customized support. In addition, TEMPUR-Material absorbs an impressive amount of motion, so it feels like you have the entire bed to yourself, by limiting disturbances from your partner, pets, or kids.
How the cooling TEMPUR-Breeze collection stacks up
Both the ProBreeze® and LuxeBreeze® mattresses in the TEMPUR-Breeze collection feature Pure Cool or Pure Cool Plus material as their top layer. Pure Cool is an exclusive Tempur-Pedic technology that actually absorbs heat and pulls it away from your body. Pure Cool Plus, featured in all the LuxeBreeze mattresses, is an upleveled version of the Pure Cool material. Tempur-Pedic claims that a LuxeBreeze mattress can feel up to 10 degrees cooler all night long, making it a solid self-care investment for sweaty sleepers.
Each mattress in the TEMPUR-Breeze collection also contains a layer of Advanced Relief material — the most pressure-relieving material Tempur-Pedic has ever created. It helps to relieve those morning aches and it features added ventilation for increased airflow, another win for hot sleepers.
To top it all off, each TEMPUR-Breeze mattress comes with a cool-to-the-touch and machine-washable SmartClimate® cover, made with cooling fibers that help you snuggle in under the blankets without heating up.
Get ready for deeper, cooler zzzs
We all need our sleep to feel our best and function during the day. If you’re having trouble falling and staying asleep, a Tempur-Pedic mattress might be a welcome respite. In addition to the adaptable body support and mind-blowing motion absorption, the TEMPUR-Breeze collection is a smart pick for hot sleepers because it can help you stay cool all night and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to roll.
