We all know getting a good night’s sleep is essential to our health and well-being. There’s nothing better than waking up rested and refreshed, but sometimes that’s hard to do. That’s particularly true in the warmer months when the temperature climbs and bedrooms heat up, but for hot sleepers, getting a comfortable sleep can be challenging all year long.
Studies have shown that body temperature affects your sleep quality, and heat exposure can increase your wakefulness throughout the night. That’s where a good cooling mattress can be a sleep-saver. Cooling mattresses come with temperature-regulating technology for your best sleep every night of the year, whether you’re a hot sleeper or dealing with the elements.
If you’re ready to upgrade your mattress, we’ve curated a list of the best cooling mattresses in Canada. From specialized technology to gels and memory foams, here are our top picks in 2024.
