Hot Sleepers - Why Do I Get So Hot When I Sleep?
Everyone’s body temperature decreases while sleeping. The heat and moisture leaving the body typically get trapped between sheets and blankets, keeping you from sleeping deeply. Most people only have a 1-2 degree difference in body temperature, but some people sleep hotter than others.
The Mayo Clinic provides additional reasons you might get hot when you sleep.
- Medications, particularly antidepressants, hormone therapies, and diabetes drugs
- Chronic medical conditions, including anxiety, menopause, sleep apnea, and thyroid issues
- Acute illnesses like bacterial or viral infections
Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons people get hot when they sleep. About 20 percent of the global population has some level of chronic pain, which can cause an increase in body temperature. The body heals when you are asleep, which can generate excess body heat. Acute pain can cause the same.

FAQs
If you still aren’t fully sold on cooling mattress toppers, let’s put your mind at ease by revealing some of the questions we get from our customers on the California coast.
Should I put a sheet on a cooling mattress?
The Tempurpedic cooling mattress topper is engineered to wick away sweat and heat as you sleep. The soft fabric is completely washable, so there is no need to cover it with a protective sheet. In addition, covering the cooling mattress topper with a sheet decreases the topper’s ability to do its job.
However, some sheets and pillowcases are designed to be used with cooling mattresses, like the Tempur-Adapt with a cooling mattress cover. These can help make the mattress topper last longer, as it will not need to be washed quite as frequently. Look for sheets with a lower thread count. This means that the sheet doesn’t have a tight weave, allowing sweat and heat to seep through to the mattress cover and cool you as well as it would without a sheet.
How do I know if I should replace my bed with a Tempurpedic cooling mattress or use Tempur-Adapt mattress topper?
The Tempur-Adapt mattress topper is designed to be used with a bed in reasonably good condition. Most mattresses should be replaced within 8 to 10 years. Tempurpedic mattresses and mattress toppers have a 10-year warranty, but many brands should be replaced in five to eight years, depending on quality. If your bed shows signs of breaking down or is older than six years old, consider replacing the entire bed with a cooling mattress. Otherwise, a cooling mattress topper is appropriate to save over buying a new bed.
Does the Tempur-Adapt and cooling mattress cover sold together?
No, the Tempur-Adapt 3-inch memory foam mattress topper and the matching cooling mattress cover are sold separately. The cooling mattress cover can be used with any queen size bed of any brand.
