Summer nights can make it hard to get comfortable. Between the heat, humidity, and lack of airflow, sleeping can feel more like a chore than a chance to rest. If you’re waking up sweaty or tossing around trying to find the cool side of the pillow, you’re not the only one. A cooling mattress might be exactly what you need.
At Fowler Brothers Co., we’ve been helping Chattanooga families find better ways to sleep for generations. If you’re looking for a mattress that helps you stay cool, this article will walk you through the solution, so you can sleep better, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
What Is a Cooling Mattress?
Cooling mattresses are built to help your body stay cool while you sleep. Unlike traditional memory foam, which can trap heat, these mattresses use special materials that absorb and release heat quickly. Some also include open-cell structures or coils to allow air to flow more freely through the mattress.
Staying cooler at night helps your body relax faster and sleep more deeply. For many people, it can mean falling asleep quicker and waking up less often.
How Do Cooling Mattresses Work?
These mattresses use a combination of materials and designs to control temperature. Some use gel foams that pull heat away from your body. Others use coil systems and ventilated designs that improve airflow. Breathable covers help reduce heat trapped on the surface.

Cooling Mattress Options Available at Fowler Brothers Co.
Tempur-Pedic
Well-known for their memory foam, Tempur-Pedic offers several cooling options in their Breeze Collection. These include Pure Cool and Pure Cool+ materials that draw heat away from the body, along with a SmartClimate cover that stays cool to the touch. The LuxeBreeze adds an extra layer called Pure Cool Plus, designed for people who sleep hot every night. For a slightly lighter cooling effect, the ProBreeze offers a more balanced design.
Sealy
Sealy uses SealyCool Gel Foam in many of their models, which helps absorb heat and reduce hot spots. Their mattresses also feature breathable covers that allow more air to pass through the surface. Their hybrid designs, combining foam with springs, add extra support while allowing more airflow.
Stearns & Foster
Stearns & Foster mattresses focus on airflow and comfort. They use an Airvent System and ventilated coils to improve breathability. Their use of soft, breathable fabrics helps reduce heat from building up. The Lux Hybrid features the IntelliFlex Hybrid System, which adds a layer of memory foam to each coil, allowing air to move freely while still giving full-body support.
Stressless Sky Mattress
The Stressless Sky mattress is designed with cooling features. It incorporates a cloud layer with triple viscose and a breathable cover, which helps with moisture-wicking and temperature regulation, making it an excellent choice for hot sleepers, according to Copenhagen Imports and Stressless.
Here’s why the Stressless Sky is considered a cooling mattress:
- Viscose-infused cloud layer
The cloud layer in the Stressless Sky mattress is made with triple viscose, which is known for its moisture-wicking properties and ability to help regulate temperature.
- Breathable cover
The cover of the Sky mattress is made from a blend of polyester, viscose, and acrylic, with a 3D knit construction that promotes airflow and breathability, says Copenhagen Imports.
- NordicSoft foam
The mattress also utilizes NordicSoft foam, which has an open structure that enhances airflow and helps dissipate moisture, contributing to a cooler sleep experience.
How to Choose the Best Cooling Mattress for You
Think about how you sleep. If you’re someone who often feels too warm at night, you might want a model with several cooling layers, like the LuxeBreeze. If you want a balance of support and comfort, Sealy’s hybrids might be a better fit. If you want luxury and airflow in one, the Lux Hybrid from Stearns & Foster could be the right one.
Also consider how firm or soft you like your mattress. Cooling models come in all firmness levels, from soft and plush to firm and supportive. Try them out in person visiting our showroom so you can find the one that feels right for your body.
