Lucid Memory Foam Mattress Topper
This plush memory foam is infused with a cooling gel that offers ventilation to improve breathability, plus lavender essential oil for extra-relaxing sleep. But what sets this gel-infused memory foam apart is its five body zones optimized to help reduce pressure in common pain points. “This gel topper is perfect for helping to keep you cool,” an Amazon customer says. “It feels like you’re sleeping on a cloud or a bunch of marshmallows.”
Sleep Number DualTemp Individual Layer Mattress Pad
This pick is a Good Housekeeping Seal holder, says Lexie Sachs, executive director of the Textiles, Paper and Apparel Lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute. The Good Housekeeping Institute testers loved how it created the perfect temperature for them and they had full control over how warm or cool it felt, she adds. “It also is fully customizable, so you can sleep at a different temperature than your sleeping partner.” The air flows from a heating/cooling unit on your floor, so it’s more effective at changing your temperature, but does take up a bigger footprint than other options, Sachs notes. Sleep Number claims this mattress pad will cool down or warm up any bed up to 35%, and bonus: there’s a timer setting with an automatic shutoff.
One reviewer writes: “My husband and I are total opposite sleepers (he is hot, I am cold), so naturally we never found a bed that satisfied us both, until we got the dual temp layers for our bed. A total game changer! We both sleep so comfortably now.”
