How to Add Cooling Comfort to Your Mattress

If sleeping hot gets in the way of restful sleep, there are several ways to create a cooler, more comfortable sleep setup. From a cooling mattress to thoughtfully designed accessories, the right combination can help your bed feel cooler and more comfortable, night after night.

Start with the Mattress

If you are shopping for a new mattress, the Tempur-Pedic Breeze® collection is the cooling line designed to help you sleep cooler all night long. TEMPUR-ProBreeze® is designed to feel up to 5° cooler*, while TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze® is designed to feel up to 10° cooler.* Both are built with cooling technologies that work from cover to core to help pull heat away from the body while still delivering the pressure relief and support we're known for.

For sleepers who want an even more personalized climate experience, TEMPUR-ActiveBreeze® takes cooling beyond the mattress itself. This smart bed is designed to feel up to 30° cooler†—or warmer—and features dual-zone climate control, so each partner can personalize the temperature on their side of the bed. Powered by ActiveAir Technology® and TEMPUR-Ergo® ProSmart® Air Base, it quietly circulates cool or warm air up through the mattress.

Upgrade the Mattress You Already Have

If you are not ready to replace the mattress you already own, a topper can be an easy way to add cooling comfort to your current sleep setup. The TEMPUR-Adapt® + Cooling Topper is made with 3 inches of extra-soft TEMPUR-Material® and a cool-to-the-touch performance fabric. TEMPUR-Cloud® 2" + Cooling Topper also enhances your mattress with a cooler surface feel while adding the pressure-relieving comfort of TEMPUR-Material®.

Choose Sheets That Feel Cooler Night After Night

Sheets can make a noticeable difference in how cool your bed feels. The right set can add breathability, comfort, and a cooler feel throughout the night.

The TEMPUR-ProAir™ Sheet Set is designed for sleepers who want a lighter, more breathable layer. Made from a blend of cotton and TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers with an innovative fine-mesh construction, these sheets are designed for maximum breathability and moisture-wicking comfort.

If you prefer a more immediate cool-to-the-touch feel, the TEMPUR-Breeze™ Cooling Sheet Set is designed with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers and cooling nylon technology. The result is a sheet set that feels cool against the skin while also offering breathable, head-to-toe comfort.

Top Off Your Bed with Cooling Comfort

For some sleepers, the heat buildup around the pillow can be one of the biggest sources of nighttime discomfort. A cooling pillow can be a simple way to make the whole sleep setup feel more comfortable.

The TEMPUR-Cloud® Dual Cooling™ Pillow features cooling gel on both sides to help absorb excess heat, along with a single piece of TEMPUR-Material® for adaptive support. It is designed for back, side, and stomach sleepers, making it an easy addition for anyone who wants cooling comfort at the top of the bed without giving up personalized support.

A Cooler Sleep Setup, Your Way

There are different paths to creating a cooler bed environment. For some, the best solution is a mattress built for deeper all-night cooling. For others, it may be a topper, a more breathable sheet set, or a pillow designed to stay cooler through the night. Tempur-Pedic® offers cooling options across the sleep system, so you can build the setup that feels right for you.
