The Best Cool Mattress for Summer Season in India of 2022
Best mattress for summer in India
With the arrival of summer, we think about vacations, disconnecting, spending time with friends, family, or partners,s and above all rest well. But sometimes the latter is not very easy for us because, in addition to the fatigue, mood swings, and drowsiness that the longest and hottest days often give us, we do not have a breathable mattress that offers us restful sleep.
While in winter it is easier to achieve the ideal temperature in bed because we can sleep with more clothes and add blankets to the bed, in addition to turning on the heating, in summer it is not so simple. If we put on the air conditioning we get cold and increase the electricity bill, and if we open the window or the balcony, mosquitoes can bite us. And we don't realize that in order to sleep cool before we get desperate and dream of going to live at the North Pole, we have to start with something fundamental: a breathable mattress, not one of heat.
here is the best mattress for summer in India
What is the most breathable mattress for summer?
One of the main causes of feeling hot in bed is not having a suitable mattress. Many synthetic foams or latex are not properly treated to be breathable, and in the Mediterranean, where there are more hot days than cold, this is paramount. But are there some more breathable mattresses than others? Effectively.
If we measure the inside of some mattresses with a temperature probe after sleeping on them, we will see that it reaches 37 °C, that is, it acquires body temperature, so the initial sensation of freshness that we can experience when we get into bed disappears. In short: the padding of the mattress acts as a blanket even in summer.
Mattresses are often classified very superficially by their degree of breathability, depending on the materials: foam and viscoelastic are attributed very little breathability because they are made of polyurethane, and latex and springs are said to be cooler, without taking into accounts other very important factors, such as the quality of the materials in the core, its combination and its padding.
Thanks to scrupulously chosen materials and state-of-the-art technologies and the skill of mattress professionals, it is possible to choose the material that best suits our preferences and needs and that it is breathable.
The latex mattress
Latex is one of the most breathable materials in the sleep industry. Its open-cell structure allows air to circulate, and as it is perforated at regular intervals for the assembly of the different layers of the core, this is further accentuated. And not only that: when we move on the mattress, the structure of the latex foam generates a pumping and suction effect in the area that we have vacated and the new one that we occupy that favors this ventilation.
Now, keep in mind that not just any latex makes a breathable mattress. There are synthetic latex foams that do not have the same structure and therefore the air does not circulate in the same way, so you have to make sure that a mattress is made with natural latex or high-quality synthetic foams to guarantee a fresh sleep.
A breathable mattress option recommended by MATINEE Natural-Descans is the Miolatex, with excellent value for money, which offers all the benefits of latex (anti-allergy, antibacterial, breathable) and a cotton cover that provides freshness and additional breathability. If we want to opt for a five-star rest, the Hevéa model, made of natural latex with 7 rest zones (for an adaptation to the body similar to viscoelastic) and a fabric treated with Ultra-Fresh, which prevents the accumulation of humidity, is ideal.
The foam mattress
It is often said that foam mattresses, is made of polyurethane (a type of plastic) and is necessarily hot. That was true years ago when materials and manufacturing techniques failed to make foams firm enough.
Currently, there are state-of-the-art technical foams, such as polyfoam, which provide greater ventilation than many poor-quality latex mattresses, thanks to an open cell structure (if we make a cross-section of this type of foam we will see that it is made up of cells interlocking with open windows surrounded by struts for support) that transport heat and moisture away from the sleeper.
If, in addition, the mattress has adequate firmness (without causing sinking) it will not be in contact with all parts of the body and therefore will not accumulate as much heat, and with the appropriate padding, breathable and fresh fabrics, it will be an alternative ideal to latex, which has a higher economic cost.
MATINEE Natural-Descans' recommendation for foam mattresses is the Visco Violet model, with different density options, ideal for supporting very different weights of people.
The viscoelastic mattress
Viscoelastic mattresses are made with a type of foam treated with chemicals that makes it much more elastic and adaptable to the body when it comes into contact with it, providing the so-called "hug effect" highly appreciated by its fans, which among other advantages, offers support and relief of pressure points in specific areas ideal especially for people with neck, joint or back pain.
This total adaptation to the body means that it is considered the warmest option, but if it is made with quality materials, open cells, and padded with fabrics such as cotton or linen, they allow the manufacture of breathable mattresses that are perfect for summer.
The recommendation of MATINEE Natural-Descans in terms of breathable viscoelastic mattresses is Canada, made with Giovinco (natural viscoelastic), which with its fabric treated with Ultra-Fresh, prevents the accumulation of moisture. The Tibet option is also ideal for summer times.
Factors to take into account for good perspiration in bed
Although we have already advanced that the mattress is a fundamental element to sleeping fresh, a mattress is not just the mattress. There are different elements of the bed and the room that influence it. Here are some:
the mattress support
An element to take into account to ensure that rest is as cool as possible is the support on which the mattress rests. Opting for bed bases that allow good air circulation in the mattress is a way to make the mattress more breathable. Let's not pretend that a solid and flat base that blocks the passage of air and a slatted bed base will breathe the same.
Accessories
Accessories greatly influence the thermal sensation of the mattress. We often say to ourselves: “I noticed it differently in the store”. And it is usually because at home the air conditioning, the bedding, and the clothes we wear to sleep are different. Betting on comfortable, fresh, and quality fabrics are crucial to making our sleep cooler. Some examples of these plugins are:
- Linens. The bedding, which includes the mattress cover, cushion cover, and sheets are in permanent contact with our body, so it is advisable to choose fabrics that do not accumulate moisture. Bedding made from natural fiber materials such as cotton (the higher thread count the better), linen (which absorbs moisture and dries quickly), or silk are the best option, and if they contain a blend of polyester (used because it is cheap, durable and not wrinkled) we must ensure that it does not exceed 50% (such as percale).
- Sleepwear. It may seem like a small thing, but the garment we wear to sleep, be it pajamas or a nightgown, or simply a t-shirt, determines the quality of our rest. Sometimes it seems to us that a mattress is hot because it is our pajamas that do not perspire and accumulate moisture. Our sleepwear must be comfortable and breathable to ensure a good rest. The most successful fabrics are cotton and modal, a piece of breathable and soft fabric that does not stick too much to the skin (50% more absorbent than cotton) that is obtained from wood pulp.
Ambient
The environment is also a very important factor in the quality of our rest. It is estimated that the ideal temperature for rest is between 18 and 22ºC, always depending on the preferences and needs of each person. The ventilation of the room also plays a fundamental role: it is important to ventilate the house first thing in the morning or at night since it is usually less hot.
sleeping with someone else
If we sleep with another person and we move a lot, coming into constant contact with them during sleep, or if they are colder than us and the mattress is ideal for them and not for us, perhaps we should consider a mattress with greater independence from beds, or an increasingly widespread option: placing two twin mattresses of different materials together, according to the needs and preferences of each one.
