What if I experience a heat issue with my mattress?

While we can assure you that a Sealy Posturepedic mattress does not generate heat, it is possible that your bed is retaining too much warmth.

We have a few suggestions below you may try:

• Consider removing any additional foam toppers. Foam traps heat to a greater degree than natural fibres.
• Try to facilitate airflow. Open windows opposite each other to create a cross breeze or turn on a fan to help circulate the air in your bedroom. You may also wish to use an air conditioner on a low setting.
• Ensure you are using appropriate linens. While high thread counts are often a marker of quality, they tend to retain more heat. Choose sheets that have a balance of quality and lower thread counts, as well as natural underlays (such as wool). If you are indecisive on buying the right thread for your sheets, this should provide the guidance you need.

Changing the comfort level may also be a solution. A plush or soft mattress is designed to ‘cradle’ the sleeper, while a firmer mattress holds the body aloft on the surface. By allowing air to circulate around more of the body, you will naturally feel cooler. If you are considering a comfort adjustment, please contact Customer Care.
