THE best cooling mattresses can keep hot sleepers comfortable all year round.

But what should you look for and is there anything else you can do to improve ventilation? Read our guide to find out.

Why it's worth having a cool bedroom

Having a cool bedroom can make or break a good night's sleep, even during the winter months.

According to the Sleep Foundation, the best bedroom temperature for sleeping is approximately 18.3C, though it varies by a few degrees from person to person. Doctors recommend keeping the thermostat set between 15.6C and 19.4C.

If you struggle to keep your temperature down at night, here are some tips to help:

1. Open the window or door to your bedroom to improve the air flow to your room.
2. Switch from duvets to blankets or even a cotton sheet and get cooling pillows to complete your set.
3. Before you go to bed, have a warm shower – your body will cool off as the water dries.
4. Avoid having cold showers as this can overstimulate your body and keep you awake for longer.
5. Diet can help as well. Before you go to bed, make sure you only have light meals and don't drink large amounts of alcohol.

2. Best luxury hybrid mattress: Simba Hybrid Luxe mattress

• Simba Hybrid Luxe mattress, from £1379.40 (double) at Simba – buy here

Pros: comfortable, supportive, coolest mattress we've slept on, eased back pain, can't feel partner moving

Cons: expensive, requires deep-fitted sheets, heavy to manoeuvre

We recently tested out the Simba Hybrid Luxe and found it to be a top cooling mattress – in fact it's the coolest mattress we've ever slept on.

The sleep geniuses at Simba designed the mattress with a breathable sleep surface, temperature-regulating bamboo-infused wool and cooling Simbatex foam, all of which contribute to a super cool and comfortable night's sleep.

The Luxe is Simba's most expensive mattress (with good reason, we believe) – but if that's a sticking point for you, take a look at the Simba Pro below, which is significantly cheaper and we also highly rate for its cooling technology.
