Help for hot Sleepers – get the Right Pillow

June 26, 2017

Sleeping cool - custom mattress manufacturer San DiegoIn the sunny Golden State, we’re probably all hot sleepers. What’s out there that can help you stay cool as a cucumber and get your Zzzzs as you should? Well, the first thing to check is your pillow. Does it ease your problem or exacerbate it? Considering that your favorite custom mattress manufacturer in San Diego, (wink wink), is now offering premium custom pillows, we have not only expanded our offer but also our knowledge of the best sleeping products.

Why do they get hot in the first place?

The heart of the problem is lack of breathability. Sometimes it’s the nature of the material itself that is not very breathable and is often the type of pillow. For example, a memory foam pillow, which is great for support, is very thick and doesn’t allow for much ventilation. That is, if we are talking about a molded memory foam pillow. Because shredded memory foam pillows, on the other hand, fair much better when it comes to air flow. The same goes for natural latex pillows. While molded latex pillows may get hot for some sleepers, the shredded version performs much better in that respect.

Feather/down pillows and polyfoam ones are known to get hot to varying degrees.

What can you do about a hot pillow?

The quick fix is to flip it to the cool side, which I’m sure you’ve done more than once. Unfortunately, that’s not the best way to sleep. It means you’ll still be waking up from time to time, ultimately disrupting your sleep.

You’ll also find that the market has quite a number of accessories to offer for hot sleepers. You’ll find water pads, gel pads and all sorts of pillows and pillow add-ons. Now, this is a game of hit and miss, as there’s a lot of conflicting reviews. With some solutions, you have to give up support, with others you can’t be sure if there is in any off-gassing. If you feel like experimenting, you could give these accessories a go.

You can resort to tricks like freezing your bedding before you go to bed or freezing your pillow. There’s also the printed T-shirt gimmick – pull the T-shirt over your pillow, print side up. The print should stay cool as you sleep on it. The downside is that the print may feel itchy on your face or you may get up with an imprint on your face, (careful which T-shirt you choose).

You can also turn up the AC if you don’t mind the bills or you can turn on a fan. Boost the effectiveness of the fan with a bowl of ice cubes placed in front of it.

Check whether your pillow case is breathable. You should go for natural materials like cotton or wool.

Finally – get a high-quality pillow.

The feeling of a good night's sleep is incomparable. You get to wake up feeling revitalized, energized and ready to take on the day. Did you know that up until now you have probably spent over 25% of your life sleeping? This makes your bed one of the most important pieces of furniture in your household. However, it is your latex hybrid mattress that offers appropriate softness and flexibility to help keep your spine in its natural position. A good mattress goes a long way towards mitigating back pain and improving your general health. It improves your memory, helps you gain sharp focus, mental alertness, a healthy weight, curbs inflammation, spurs creativity, and improves productivity and athletic grades while adding years to your life. These are some of the reasons why you need to invest in a high-quality mattress. Allergies An old mattress accumulates dust, mites and other allergens over the years. This can cause a flare up of your allergies. If vacuuming your mattress and cleaning your bedding using hot water does not seem to do the trick, this is a clear indication that you need to invest in a new high-quality mattress. Improves your memory Comfort is key to a good night sleep. Studies show that people who get adequate sleep do better on tests and learn new things such as languages faster than those who don't. This is because when you get restorative sleep, your brain gets time to practice the things that you learned throughout the day. Protects your spine Your spine works throughout the day to ensure your body is well coordinated. For this reason, it needs adequate rest to stay strong. Sleeping on an old mattress or one that is of poor quality puts your back at risk of muscle fatigue and other back problems. Sleeping on a good quality mattress allows your body to rest in its natural position, relax your muscles and ensures you get sufficient sleep that is refreshing. Decreases appetite Lack of sleep has been associated with an increase in hunger and appetite, which eventually leads to obesity. Sleep loss stimulates the craving for high carbohydrate and high-fat foods. A good night’s sleep, on the other hand, can help you achieve your weight loss goals. Reduces stress A restless night leads to stressful days. If you sleep on a poor quality mattress, you probably wake up with aches and pains in your body. This is because the bed does not give your body sufficient support when you lie down to sleep. This, in turn, leads to stress related factors such as headaches and being in a bad mood throughout the day. Your mattress is your personal choice There is no one-size-fits-all mattress. Different mattresses fit different body types and height. Buying the wrong mattress can lead to physical pain. When purchasing your mattress, always ensure that it provides you with optimal comfort. We’ve got you covered A good quality mattress is key to living a healthy life. At Mattress Makers, we are all about restful and restorative sleep. Our decade long experience makes us masters of our craft. We pride ourselves on our high-quality mattress selection that includes latex hybrid mattress and natural hybrid mattresses that are organic and chemical-free and that fit a variety of budgets and preferences.
