9 Best Cooling Mattresses For A Better Night’s Sleep
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
If you’re looking for restful sleep on a cooling mattress, we’ve selected our favorites that are comfortable, affordable, and use natural and organic materials.
There’s nothing worse than waking up in a pool of sweat. Whether your room is too hot, your mattress lacks ventilation, you’re fighting an illness, or you’re going through hormonal shifts (like menopause), having your sleep disrupted due to temperature is exhausting — quite literally. That’s why when we talk about sleep hygiene and investing in our bedding, we’re adamant about finding quality mattress brands that care about these issues. Nontoxic and organic certifications are essential, as are cooling properties and technology to ensure optimal rest and sleep. While cooling sheets, fans, and airflow can help with comfort, a mattress that helps regulate temperature is the ultimate game-changer, so we’re excited about the brands below.
What should you look for in a cooling mattress?
Many natural and organic materials offer cooling properties on their own. Wool, for example, is sometimes referred to as nature’s air conditioner and can help regulate temperature in sleepwear and bedding (this study specifically analyzed wool’s impact on sleep quality). This is our favorite material to look for in mattresses that promise cooling properties, as it’s the safest option for our health and the environment. Just be sure to check how the brand is sourcing its wool (looking for fair trade and responsibility sourcing certifications).
Our criteria:
We’ve personally tested and researched the top nontoxic, eco-friendly, and organic mattress brands. These are our picks for the best cooling mattresses that are safe and comfortable at a range of price points. We regularly update this piece with new favorites that meet the criteria below.
- NATURAL MATERIALS | We spend a lot of time in bed, so the quality of our mattress materials matters. These brands use natural and nontoxic materials for your health and safety.
- COMFORT | We’ve prioritized brands that we’ve personally slept on to make sure you have comfortable and supportive sleep.

I accidentally got ours too high for our new bed, and they allowed me to exchange for the lower one hassle-free. Everyone from the customer care representatives to the delivery men were so professional and kind. I will never buy a mattress anywhere else. Seriously the best company ever.
