Anyone familiar with the new Serta Perfect Sleeper mattress? It’s the one on the Serta website, but not the mattress in a box one. Does anyone know if it’s temperature neutral (as opposed to hot)?
Hi JBR2022.
You might find this thread useful. If you do a keyword search in the forum, all topics about this mattress will come up.
While it’s not possible to quantify or predict the sleeping temperature of a mattress for any particular person with any real accuracy because there are so many variables involved including the type of mattress protector and the sheets and bedding that you use (which in many cases can have just as significant an effect on temperature as the type of foam in a mattress) and on where you are in the “oven to iceberg” range and because there is no standardized testing for temperature regulation with different combinations of materials … there is more about the many variables that can affect the sleeping temperature of a mattress or sleeping system in post #2 here that can help you choose the types of materials and components that are most likely to keep you in a comfortable temperature range.
In very general terms … the layers and components of a sleeping system that are closer to your skin will have a bigger effect on airflow, moisture wicking, and temperature regulation than layers and components that are further away from your skin and softer mattresses will tend to be more “insulating” and tend to sleep warmer than firmer mattresses.
Most of the more modern memory foam or gel memory foam formulations will tend to be a little more breathable and sleep a little more “temperature neutral” than most of the older memory foam formulations but memory foam or gel memory foam can still tend to sleep warmer for some people (especially if you are closer to the “oven” end of the oven/iceberg range) than other types of foam materials such as polyfoam and latex (which in general is the most breathable and temperature neutral of the foam materials). Natural fibers will tend to be more temperature regulating than any type of foam.
