About overheating in bed
Hello We are currently suffering our second pocket sprung bed!
I am a largish warm blooded specimen whilst my wife is much lighter and "cool". The physical benefits of a zip and link are great and I have to admit that the comfort has been excellent. The problem has been overheating for me - almost like lying on a radiator. Both mattresses have been at the lower end of the market so will no doubt have a high mad made element. But what is causing the overheating (other than me!)?
What characteristics/construction should we buy to avoid a repeat of our mistakes
Steven,
Sorry to hear your red blooded nature is causing you to over heat!
I could really do with knowing what mattress model it is we're discussing.
Ie if theres a foam or memory foam layer it will undoubtedly be warmer as they retain heat.
Some synthetic materials are less breathable and more heat retentive than say natural components you see.
I always advise to start with your bedding as well.
Reduce the tog if possible and then at worst you may need to change your mattress.
'Heat reduction fabrics' are not worth the money they cost in my personal opinion.
You can't magic away heat that easily either.
If you can get in touch with more info I'll be happy to focus my advice more.
Kind Regards Gary
