Comfort of memory foam without the heat?
This looks like a useful Q&A!
I’ve just been looking at beds, and the most comfortable ones in our local shops appear to be memory foam: Salus in one shop, Tempur in the other. Lying on them leaves me pretty confident they won’t cause back or neck pain!
Then I read a little online, including Gill Williams on this page, telling us how hot they are, and I can see myself sharing Gill’s fate as I thrive in conditions much colder than most people!
On the other hand, I generally sleep very well!
Can you recommend what I can look for to get the comfort of these mattresses without overheating?

Hi Nick.
It really is an anomaly isn’t it.
A comfortable mattress for you – but you know you are going to be hot and sweaty!
And you are looking for a way to alieve the inherent problem.
Memory Foam IS heat retentive, current means of attempting to combat this problem is to utilise Hi-Tech fabric coverings such as Coolmax / Climasmart / Outlast etc.
This very fact that manufacturers have to use these type of coverings to reduce the heat retentiveness goes a long way to show you that the problem is very, very real.
As a Devils Advocate towards Memory Foam, I would pose the same question to the manufacturers you mention above and see what their take is.
I would recommend you take a look at our Hybrid range, these mattresses are made with Hybrid foams and are far less heat retentive, but they have the same sleeping sensation.
If you have any further questions please give the office a call on 0161 437 4419
