Published by Leafsleep on 18th Jul 2025

In fact, sleeping in hot weather can be uncomfortable, even frustrating. The ideal temperature for a cooling bed is between 18 °C and 22 °C. When temperatures increase, it is essential to adopt strategies to create a cooler and more comfortable environment. In this article, we share 10 effective tips for sleeping better in hot weather, including how to choose the best sleeping mat for the summer.

1. maintain the heating in your room during the day

Close the stores or the windows during the darkest hours to prevent the sunlight from entering. At night, open the windows to encourage air circulation. A fan can create a pleasant air courant and improve the feeling of warmth.

2. Choose adapted literature and pyjamas

Opt for natural, soft materials such as cotton or linen. These materials allow the skin to breathe and encourage the evacuation of perspiration. Avoid synthetic fabrics, which remove heat and humidity.

3. Take a warm shower before you put it on

A warm hem helps to gradually lower the temperature of your body, encouraging a feeling of warmth and making it easier to fall asleep.

4. Hydrate yourself throughout the day

Staying hydrated is essential, especially during hot weather. However, avoid drinking a lot of water just before you take a shower, so that you don't disturb your bath by frequent trips to the toilets.

5. Avoid copious meals in the evening

Choose lean meals and avoid spicy or fatty foods. Difficult digestion can increase the temperature of your body and make endormancy difficult.

6. Use simple refurbishment techniques

Place a moist serving dish or a bowl of glazed water in front of a fan to draw in the air. Another effective option is to gradually moisten your draps with cold water before covering them.

7. Adopt sleeping positions that favor ventilation.

Sleeping on your back or back facilitates air circulation. Avoid recumbent positions, which can increase the sensation of dampness.

8. Choose the right bedding to sleep in during hot weather.

Choosing a good mattress pad is crucial to sleeping well. Shaped mousse mats offer comfort and adaptability, but the ideal is to choose a comfortable mat. Choose models whose materials favor better air circulation and better heat dissipation.

We recommend Matelas à Ressorts ensachés - Luxury Gel, which combines the mousse à mémoire de forme Gel Fresh with a system of ensachés ressorts. This gel is distinguished by its following characteristics:

  • Cool and breathable ;
  • Very strong and very adaptable;
  • With a 3D fabric back for ventilation;
  • Ideal for those who are looking for a mousse mattress with a shape memory for the summer;
  • Recommended for people suffering from severe night-time chills.

9. Surmatelas en mousse à mémoire de forme : une solution rafraîchissante

If your current mattress doesn't offer the comfort and warmth you want, a surmat can be an excellent solution. Some models are equipped with breathable and viscoelastic fabrics with a cooling effect.

We recommend the Surmatelas Topper à Mémoire de Forme, equipped with :

  • 2 cm viscoelastic padding for extra comfort;
  • Fixing elements for better stability ;
  • Bloc de mousse HD pour une fermeté et une densité accrues ;
  • Breathable 3D fabric band for temperature regulation and air circulation;
  • Extensible aloe vera breathable fabric.

A form-fitting mousse mattress cover can be a practical solution to improve the thermal comfort of your current mattresses.

10. Adopt a regular sleep routine

Set regular bedtimes and relax. Avoid screens before going to bed, as blue light interferes with the production of mélatonin, the sleep hormone. A stable routine helps the body to be better prepared for sleep, even during dark nights.

 

Sleeping well is possible thanks to a few simple adjustments to your environment, your habits and your choice of bedding. Choosing the right mattress, for example a mattress with good shape and excellent thermal regulation, makes all the difference during the hottest nights.

If you suffer from discomfort due to heat, it's time to re-evaluate your mattresses. Simple solutions such as a mousse mattress topper with shape memory can transform your home.
