“This topper is both dense and well ventilated,” Lee says. Not only does the cover “feel very soft against the skin,” according to Lee, it also “aids in the overall cooling process” - something other experts have said about bamboo when recommending the best cooling sheets.

Schlecht says this material keeps the ViscoSoft topper “cool to the touch.” With so many expert recommendations, and a nice balance between comfort and cooling - plus a 60-day return policy, one of the most generous in this roundup - it’s our pick for the best overall cooling mattress topper.Ĭooling components: Gel-infused foam | Thickness: 2 inches, 3 inches, or 4 inches | Care instructions: Machine washable cover | Trial and warranty: Ten-year warrantyįor an even more affordable option, Brandon Lee, an Airbnb host, recommends this gel-infused memory-foam mattress topper that is wrapped in a soft cover made of bamboo-rayon fabric. “When you’re hot, the material liquifies” to absorb heat to keep you cool, and when you’re cool, “the material then solidifies, trapping in the heat,” he explains. Second, its exterior contains phase-change material, something Joshua Tal, a psychologist who specializes in sleep disorders, says to look for in cooling mattress toppers. First, it’s infused with copper, which Schlecht explains “draws heat away from the body and dissipates into the environment.” Riccio says it “offers a classic memory-foam feel, but the copper infusion serves to dissipate body heat and prevent the foam from warming up.” And this ViscoSoft topper, recommended by both Annie Schlecht, an occupational therapist and certified sleep consultant, and Sarah Riccio, a senior writer at Sleepopolis, is surprisingly cool despite being made of notoriously hot foam.

“People love memory foam because it’s so comfortable and relieves pressure so well,” says Joe Auer, the founder of the review site Mattress Clarity.

The best cooling mattress topper for you will come down to personal preference, though David Rubin, Sleep Doctor product expert, says that people who run particularly warm should opt for materials that promote air circulation and moisture wicking, like latex, wool, or down (memory foam with cooling components can work too, though foam of any kind usually tends to run warmer).

Aside from being uncomfortable, JD Velilla, head of sleep experience for Serta Simmons Bedding, says that sleeping hot can be “one of the biggest sleep disruptors.” If your current mattress is making you sweat and you don’t want to invest in a new one that is designed to help regulate temperature, a more affordable solution to consider would be a cooling mattress topper. While products like cooling sheets and pajamas can help, you don’t want to cancel them out by sleeping on a surface that locks in heat. If you’ve ever woken up feeling hot and sweaty, you know that temperature regulation is a big part of the “ getting good sleep” equation.
