Frequently Asked Questions

Why some people sleep hot could be one of several different reasons — room temperature, metabolism, hormones, medications, stress, bedding materials, gender and even sleeping with a partner.

Your mattress and bedding can trap heat, especially traditional memory foams. Choosing breathable fabrics and a cool bed setup can help reduce overheating and promote deeper rest.

To sleep better in summer’s hot nights, experts at the Sleep Health Foundation recommend keeping your room temperature somewhere between 17–19°C.

Cooling your body and skin directly is key to sleeping cooler. Layer breathable cooling bedding, choose moisture-wicking sleepwear, and switch to a cooling mattress topper or cooling mattress for extra airflow.

It can also help to have air flowing over your skin to help cool your body. An open window, air conditioner or a fan may help. Staying hydrated and keeping blinds closed during the day also helps to keep your room from heating up

The best bedding material for hot sleepers is bedding with natural, breathable fibres that wick moisture and allow airflow. Bamboo, linen, and TENCEL™ are our top picks.

Ecosa’s bamboo bedding offers excellent temperature regulation, making it ideal for anyone who overheats at night. Avoid heavy, synthetic materials that trap heat.
Ways to stay cool at night without air conditioning include creating airflow with fans, using breathable sheets, avoiding heavy doonas, and switching to cooling pillows or a cooling mattress.

A passive bed cooling system — like a mattress with open-cell foam and cooling layers, natural bedding, and lighter sleep layers can help reduce heat naturally.
Traditional memory foam can be hotter to sleep on than hybrid mattresses or mattresses with natural latex layers. This is because memory foam is dense — giving it excellent contouring and supportive properties — but lacks the open-cell structure that promotes airflow. As a result, it may retain your body’s heat while you sleep, making you feel warmer as the night progresses.

The good news is, Ecosa’s modern memory foam mattresses use ventilated, open-cell foams and cool-to-touch covers to help dissipate heat and improve breathability throughout the night.

If you run extra hot at night, you might want to consider alternatives like latex or hybrid mattresses, or our specially designed CoolComfort mattress with smart cooling technologies that keep heat away — ensuring you sleep cool and keep your cool night after night.

Why Do I Get Hot When I Sleep?

If you’re a hot sleeper, you’re not alone. Your body naturally follows a circadian rhythm — cooling down at night and warming up toward morning. But factors like room temperature, hormones, the wrong bedding materials or mattress type can raise your sleep temperature, making it harder to drift off.

Overheating during the night may also disrupt deep sleep stages and increase wake-ups. But help is here. Ecosa’s range of bed cooling systems is designed to help regulate temperatures naturally, drawing heat away so you can rest easier.

How to Create a Cooler Sleep Environment

Small adjustments to your sleep can make a big difference to your temperature. Here are a few clever tweaks can help you stay cool all night:

  • Keep airflow moving with a fan, open window (or air-conditioner on really still, hot nights).

  • Create the right surface and sleep space with breathable, cooling bedding like Ecosa’s organic Bamboo Sheets or a Cooling Quilt.

  • Choose moisture-wicking sleepwear to draw moisture and heat away from your body, like Ecosa’s butter-soft and silky, natural TENCEL™ Modal DreamSoft collection.

  • Make the switch to a cooling mattress designed specifically to keep heat at bay, just like our game-changing CoolComfort mattress.

  • If you don’t want to commit to a full mattress upgrade, you could add a cooling mattress pad, cooling mattress topper or Cooling Mattress Overlay to an existing mattress.

  • Try sleeping on Ecosa’s Cooling Pillow, with cool-to-touch fabrics and a cooling gel glazed memory foam, it’s perfect for a more refreshing sleep.

What is a Bed Cooling System?

A bed cooling system is any setup that helps regulate your sleep temperature. Depending on your needs, it could be as simple as breathable sheets that promote airflow, or as advanced as an active cooling-air or water-based device.

Ecosa’s temperature control sleep products focus on passive, naturally breathable materials, cool-to-touch fabrics and embedded layers that work to cool your body temperature and enhance airflow without noise, wires, or maintenance.

What’s the Difference Between Active vs Passive Bed Cooling?

Active cooling uses electricity, fans, or circulating water to physically cool your bed.Passive cooling, on the other hand, uses breathable materials, open-cell foams, moisture-wicking fabrics, and ventilated designs to reduce heat buildup.

Ecosa focuses on passive cooling systems, meaning no cords, noise, or running costs — just naturally cooler sleep from head to toe.
