As the weather heats up here in the northern hemisphere, many sleepers find themselves waking up sweaty and hot. Never fear (or should we say, sweat?), because we're here with out top 5 tips for staying cool all night long.
1. Keep it dark
As beautiful as sunshine is, especially in the spring and summer, it's hot! To keep your bedroom as cool as possible, consider investing in dark shades, blackout curtains, or blinds. And keep them drawn, especially during the brightest hours of the day, to keep the heat out and maximize the cooling effect.
2. Circulate the air
Optimizing the airflow in your room can make a huge difference in your temperature regulation. If you have air conditioning, set your thermostat to 65-70 degrees to ideal sleeping conditions. To improve air circulation, try adding an oscillating fan to your bedroom/
3. Choose your pajamas wisely
Don't underestimate the power of pajamas! As cozy as fluffy pajamas can be, they don't help with cooling. We recommend wearing light, breathable fabrics like cotton, silk, and linen.
4. Two words: breathable bedding
Your bedding can make or break your sleep temperature! Especially in the warmer months, consider choosing a mattress protector, pillows, blankets, and sheets made of breathable fabrics like cotton and linen. At Sleep First we have a great collection of breathable bedding waiting for you!
5. Opt for a cooling mattress!
Tried all of the above and you’re still waking up in the middle of the night to kick off your sheets? You’re probably a hot sleeper. Lucky for you, there are mattresses made just for this!
When we fall asleep, our body temperature naturally lowers. As it does, our heat is transferred into our mattress and bedding. Some mattresses absorb and retain a lot of heat, while others are engineered to provide better circulation and temperature control.
If you're in need of a cooler mattress, look no further. Here are some of the best mattresses to help you stay dry and cool all night long.
