Cooling Mattress Pads for All You Hot Sleepers Out There

We are officially in the throes of sweaty girl sleep season. Ya know, the months of mid-May to mid-September, where you wake up with your thighs stuck together. Even with the A/C on full blast (RIP my electric bill), it seems like there is little relief to the heat. However, the answer to this sweaty nightmare may be lying quite literally underneath you. Enter the cooling mattress pad.

“You need to address the temperature of your bedding just as you address the room temperature,” explains Terry Cralle, RN, MS, a certified clinical sleep educator. According to the sleep expert, upgrading your bed space to include a cooling mattress pad (in addition to cooling bedding, sheets, and pajamas, which we've got you covered on, bb) can make *all* the difference between a night of tossing and turning and a good night’s sleep. Plus, prioritizing your sleep means improved physical and mental well-being, which is SO. DAMN. IMPORTANT.

The best part is mattress pads are an easy and super affordable (like, most on this list are under $60) way to give you and your tired mattress a full reset. And, with the addition of a cooling mattress pad, you won’t have to wake up in a puddle of your own sweat night after night (your sheets will thank you).

So, whether you are naturally a hot sleeper or just want a break from the summer heat, we have the cooling mattress pad just for you. Keep scrolling for the complete list, hottie
