Hi,
Im a desperate hot sleeper trying to find a way to not be as hot during the night.
I have the “Silk & Snow” organic bed + i’m thinking of buying their 100% acaciawood slats bed frame here.
My question is: Would such a wood slats bed frame noticeaby help a bit making me cooler at night
VS a traditional coil-based boxspring? or no difference at all? It seems like a box spring (which im currently using)
must be decent at ventilation/heat dissipation… but i’m hoping that wood slats bedframe can do noticeably better…can it?
I do not have any experience with that specific bed but I would imagine wood slats (with literal physical openings between them) would have more airflow than a boxspring. Not sure how much of a difference in heat that will make though.
I live in a hot area and I found linen sheets to be awesome for the heat - they pass a lot of airflow and also feel cool to the touch even when its hot and they are dry. If it is really hot I also sleep with a 20" box fan blowing over me.
Quality and price varies a lot with linen - for a budget option I found the best ones to be the Target in house brand that is approximately a 50% linen / 50% cotton sheet and WAY cheaper than anything else.
thanks Chris for having taken the time.
I just bought some high quality bamboo sheets.
The big issue i have is the heat thats being generated by my body and accumulated in the mattress under me.
I believe that mattress has a memory foam comfort layer and if so that would likely be the largest determining factor in heat dissipation at night. You may be better off even just adding a 2" comfort layer of latex on top to help break the thermal contact with the layers below. Other options like active cooling pads (air / water) can also help significantly lower the contact temp and increase comfort at night.
