Mattress is hot as hell....recommendations for cool wool one!

[febel]

So, we ordered a Simba hybrid, slept on it for 9 weeks, I hate it and so does hubby. It's comfy, yes, but omg it's hot as hell. I wake in the night with the part of my body which is on the mattress on fire! Not just due to my age as hubby finding it too (perhaps he's "that age" too?!)

So...researched and decided a mattress with a lot of wool in probably the best way to go. Not a super firm one though...medium I would say. Any recommendations anyone?

Would it be cheaper to buy a cool cotton topper. Hypnos do wool mattresses.

Or even a wool topper? Try Baavet?

Mine is from John Lewis Natural Collection - not cheap, but there are some in silk as well as wool.

Send it back while you still can!

I have the same problem and added a wool topper which has helped a bit but it's still far too hot!

Yes, I'm afraid it's going to go back. It's a shame as it's a comfy mattress otherwise. I HATE shopping for mattresses ..always feel such an idiot lying down in shops on them (John Lewis told us to lie for 20 minutes on each one! Errrr...nope...not comfortable enough to do that in a busy shop..especially as they were painting and decorating at the back of the beds and in addition the shop itself was so cold!)
Have looked at Hypnis altho cost. £££ and hubby not keen on the artificial stiff they use, even on the wool mattresses (and why are wool mattresses sooo expensive when farmers are paid about 50p a fleece?!)

Mattresses are.lime shoes..you think they're alright in the shop but when you actually wear them out of the house/sleep on them you find out how uncomfortable they can be in reality!

We have a latex matress which is great
Comfy but cool. Will see if I can remember the brand...

Sleepeezee Wool Supreme Pocket Mattress is amazing

level75 I think we had a mattress with a latex topper but that too made me hot....although I think it was a cheap one and possibley there are different types of latex....I'll have a look at the one you mentioned thanks

That's so weird, I've had a Simba mattress for about 2-3 months and I don't get the hot feeling at all and that was one of my concerns as I can't sleep if I'm even slightly hot (yay for autumn!).

I know that regular memory foam mattresses make me ridiculously hot.

OP there are gel mattresses designed to keep you cool.

I was eyeing those up before I got the Simba.
