What is the best mattress material for hot sleepers?

For hot sleepers, the best mattress materials are natural latex, gel-infused memory foam, and hybrid mattresses with pocketed coils. These materials promote airflow and heat dissipation. Traditional memory foam tends to retain heat, while latex and innerspring/hybrid designs offer better temperature regulation.

How do memory foam and latex mattresses differ?

Memory foam offers slow-responding contouring that cradles the body and excels at pressure relief, but may sleep warmer and have less bounce. Latex provides more responsive support with natural cooling properties, better durability, and bounce, but typically costs more and offers less precise contouring than memory foam.

Which mattress material lasts the longest?

Natural latex mattresses typically have the longest lifespan, often lasting 12-15+ years with proper care. High-density memory foam (5+ lbs/ft³) ranks second with 8-10 years of durability. Hybrid mattresses generally last 7-10 years, while traditional innerspring mattresses typically need replacement after 5-7 years.
