Sleeping cool - custom mattress manufacturer San DiegoIn the sunny Golden State, we’re probably all hot sleepers. What’s out there that can help you stay cool as a cucumber and get your Zzzzs as you should? Well, the first thing to check is your pillow. Does it ease your problem or exacerbate it? Considering that your favorite custom mattress manufacturer in San Diego, (wink wink), is now offering premium custom pillows, we have not only expanded our offer but also our knowledge of the best sleeping products.

Why do they get hot in the first place?

The heart of the problem is lack of breathability. Sometimes it’s the nature of the material itself that is not very breathable and is often the type of pillow. For example, a memory foam pillow, which is great for support, is very thick and doesn’t allow for much ventilation. That is, if we are talking about a molded memory foam pillow. Because shredded memory foam pillows, on the other hand, fair much better when it comes to air flow. The same goes for natural latex pillows. While molded latex pillows may get hot for some sleepers, the shredded version performs much better in that respect.

Feather/down pillows and polyfoam ones are known to get hot to varying degrees.

What can you do about a hot pillow?

The quick fix is to flip it to the cool side, which I’m sure you’ve done more than once. Unfortunately, that’s not the best way to sleep. It means you’ll still be waking up from time to time, ultimately disrupting your sleep.

You’ll also find that the market has quite a number of accessories to offer for hot sleepers. You’ll find water pads, gel pads and all sorts of pillows and pillow add-ons. Now, this is a game of hit and miss, as there’s a lot of conflicting reviews. With some solutions, you have to give up support, with others you can’t be sure if there is in any off-gassing. If you feel like experimenting, you could give these accessories a go.

You can resort to tricks like freezing your bedding before you go to bed or freezing your pillow. There’s also the printed T-shirt gimmick – pull the T-shirt over your pillow, print side up. The print should stay cool as you sleep on it. The downside is that the print may feel itchy on your face or you may get up with an imprint on your face, (careful which T-shirt you choose).

You can also turn up the AC if you don’t mind the bills or you can turn on a fan. Boost the effectiveness of the fan with a bowl of ice cubes placed in front of it.

Check whether your pillow case is breathable. You should go for natural materials like cotton or wool.

Finally – get a high-quality pillow.

What Types of Pillows are There in Mattress Stores in San Diego?

Mattress stores in San Diego and pillow options

You often need a good environment to get a good night’s sleep. If you find yourself getting up watery-eyed or if you have irregular sleep, your body could be signaling you to get a new pillow, (and a mattress maybe, but that’s a different story). There are no better sleeping accessories than a good pillow and a good mattress. You probably don’t know all the options you have for buying pillows in mattress stores in San Diego. So we want to present you with a rundown of the most popular.

Option 1: Synthetic pillows

Inexpensive, versatile, and easy to clean, synthetic pillows hold the biggest market share when it comes to pillows. What’s important to note is that these come in all degrees of quality and a low-end synthetic pillow may not give the best bang for the buck when you consider their short lifespan, (around 2 years), and the potentially hazardous chemicals they contain. On the minus side, they are also prone to clumping and don’t hold shape very well.

Option 2: Cotton pillows

A breathable and natural alternative to synthetic pillows, cotton-filled pillows are relatively cheap and easy to care for. They are also hypoallergenic and cooler than synthetic or memory foam pillows. When considering return on investment, you should take into account the fact that these pillows require regular refill and they will clump quickly.

Option 3: Down pillows

Want the most luxurious pillow? Down pillows are for those who love a soft touch. These pillows are universally loved, though some people are advised against sleeping on them. These include allergy sufferers and those who have neck pain issues. Overall, down pillows are durable, cool, quiet, and light. The level of support depends on the volume of the fill, which affects the price. Generally, these will be on the higher end of the price range.

Option 4: Buckwheat pillows

It’s been centuries since the Japanese discovered the beauty of sleeping on buckwheat hulls. Cool and airy, these pillows are easily malleable, but still provide great support. They are very durable and are well suited to all kinds of sleeping positions. A slight disadvantage is that these pillows rustle when shifted.

Option 5: Memory foam pillows

A favorite pillow of many, especially those who need superior neck and spine support. You should also know that these are best for back and side sleepers. The many advantages these pillows have are: durability, no clumping, low maintenance, contouring and good support. On the low side, they don’t ventilate well.

Option 6: Latex pillows

Latex is a natural alternative to memory foam. It’s also provides supreme pressure relief and contours nicely. You should be sure to get one that suits you, because its height is fixed and it can’t be adjusted. These pillows are also more breathable than memory foam. All-natural latex pillows are the healthiest choice – in addition to the listed benefits, they don’t need to be coated in flame retardants, (they’re naturally flame-resistant), and they are inhospitable to dust mites and mold.
