Retains Body Heat / Sleeps Hot:
Disadvantages of Memory Foam Mattresses


Page last updated Nov 7, 2008





Memory foam mattress owners sometimes mention that their beds "sleep hot" and are a heat trap.

This means that the mattress absorbs and then fails to disperse a person's body heat, resulting in a sleeping surface that is unnaturally warm. Sleeping hot is caused by the unique structure of the foam, and, as a result, sleeping hot is usually not an issue with other types of beds, at least not to the extent it is with memory foam.

By no means do all, or even the majority, of memory foam mattress owners consider sleeping hot to be an issue. But a significant number certainly do.

Some owners say that using a thick cotton pad will help to keep the bed cool. Others say this makes no difference.

Bottom line: If you are a naturally hot person, sleep in a warm environment, or like to have lots of heavy covers on when you sleep -- memory foam may possibly be too warm for you.
