The Zoma Mattress stands at 12 inches tall with three foam layers. Let\u2019s take a moment to examine each layer.<\/p>\n The first layer<\/strong>\u00a0is 2 inches of gel-infused memory foam to promote a cool night of sleep. The memory foam works to relieve pressure as you sleep. And our unique Triangulex\u2122\u00a0technology in this layer is designed to provide additional pressure relief in the leg and shoulder areas while keeping the layer solid in the middle to give support where it\u2019s most needed.<\/p>\n The second layer <\/strong>is 2 inches of responsive Reactiv\u2122\u00a0foam. Reactiv\u2122 adds some bounce and support to the bed, while creating a buffer between the soft top layer and the supportive base.<\/p>\n The third layer<\/strong> is 8 inches of our Support+ foam. This layer is where the Zoma Mattress gets most of its structure and stability, keeping the bed in top shape.<\/p>\n Protecting the mattress is our mattress cover<\/strong>, made of a polyester blend with added elastane to stretch and create air channels for greater breathability.<\/p>\n A queen-size Zoma Mattress is $699 and comes with a risk-free 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.<\/p>\n If you find the Zoma Mattress isn\u2019t the best mattress<\/a> for you after 30 nights, we will provide you with a full refund. No need to hang on to any other materials such as the delivery box\u2014 we make the process as simple as we can for you.<\/p>\n A Zoma Hybrid is 12 inches tall and contains four foam layers:<\/p>\n The first layer<\/strong> is 2 inches of gel memory foam with triangular cutouts in the head and foot of the mattress to increase air circulation through the bed, while the infused gels wick away heat.<\/p>\n The second layer<\/strong> is 2 inches of bouncy Reactiv\u2122 foam. Reactiv\u2122 improves the mattress’s response time, enabling the bed to regain its shape faster.<\/p>\n The third layer<\/strong> contains 7-inch tall pocketed coils. The coils are individually wrapped to provide motion isolation and to reduce noise as the coils retract.<\/p>\n The fourth layer<\/strong> is an inch of supportive foam. The foam base gives the coils a sturdy surface to rest on, reducing the chances of sagging.<\/p>\n The mattress cover<\/strong> is stretchy polyester.<\/p>\n A Zoma Hybrid is $999 for a queen size mattress. The price includes a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.<\/p>\n With its ultra-cool fabric cover<\/strong> and graphite-infused memory foam layer, the Zoma Boost ensures a blissfully cool and comfortable sleep all night long. The quilted top layer<\/strong> of hypersoft foam contours to your body, releasing pressure that can build up into aches and pains.<\/p>\n Underneath the pillow top is the primary comfort layer of graphite-infused memory foam<\/strong>, providing deeper compression and coolness. The graphite pulls absorbed heat away from the body, while the soft memory foam hugs the body\u2019s sensitive areas.<\/p>\n The Zoma Boost’s exclusive Reactiv\u2122 foam layer<\/strong> adds just the right amount of bounce to the mattress, preventing unwanted sinkage and making it easy to move across the bed. Its pocketed coil support core allows the mattress to adjust to your every movement while isolating motion, ensuring that you get an undisturbed sleep if your partner moves or gets out of bed.<\/p>\n Speaking of, the reinforced edge support<\/strong> along the sides makes it easy to slide in and out of bed, perfect for those with difficulties moving in the morning. Meanwhile, the mattress’s solid foundation and pocketed coils ensure long-lasting support, maximizing the mattress\u2019s value.<\/p>\n Whether you’re a hot sleeper looking for a cooler night’s rest or simply seeking a luxurious upgrade to your bedroom, the Zoma Boost has got you covered. With free shipping, a 100-night sleep trial, and a 10-year warranty, you can rest easy knowing you’ve made the right choice.<\/p>\n Your body temperature is controlled by a part of your brain known as the hypothalamus<\/a>. The hypothalamus works to make hormones to control not only your body temperature but also your mood, heart rate, thirst, and hunger.<\/p>\n Your hypothalamus drives up your temperature during the earlier parts of the day to keep you energized, and by mid-afternoon lets your body temperature drop back down to prepare for a night of sleep. This ability to maintain and control our core body temperature despite our surroundings is known as thermoregulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n So what is the connection between body temperature and sleep, and why is it important?<\/p>\n Your body temperature helps to regulate your circadian rhythm<\/a>\u2014 your internal biological clock which basically pushes you to be active during the day and helps you feel sleepy as bedtime approaches.<\/p>\n Falling asleep is tied to the gradual drop in your body temperature, initiated by your hypothalamus. Some scientists hypothesize that taking steps to assist your body\u2019s automatic cooldown may help you fall asleep<\/a>.<\/p>\n Your body temperature further drops<\/a>\u00a0as you cycle through the second stage of non-REM sleep. Your body maintains a lower temperature during the stages of non-REM sleep, and your temperature falls to its lowest point<\/a>\u00a0during REM-sleep.<\/p>\n Your environmental temperature (i.e., your bedroom\u2019s temperature) can affect your sleep as your body adjusts to the surrounding temperature. REM sleep may be shortened<\/a>\u00a0if your bedroom is too hot or too cold.<\/p>\n A 2008 review<\/a>\u00a0suggests some sleepers with insomnia may have difficulty falling asleep because of \u201cimpaired thermoregulation,\u201d though noted findings could be inconsistent and more home studies needed to be performed. A 2018 study<\/a>\u00a0found that a temperature-regulating device helped insomnia patients fall asleep over the course of two nights, though the study cautioned more investigation of the long-term applications is needed.<\/p>\n So your body temperature cools down later in the day to make you sleepy. But what does this have to do with sleeping on the right mattress?<\/p>\n While your body\u2019s ability to regulate and lower your core temperature is a key part of falling asleep, as we noted, your environmental temperature can influence your sleep quality as well. This can be a problem if your mattress is a type that retains heat, stirring you from sleep as it grows uncomfortably warm.<\/p>\n A mattress with cooling materials or technology is designed to avoid trapping heat in the night, allowing you to sleep undisturbed.<\/p>\n Your mattress and environment may put you at risk of sleeping hot if too much heat is retained as you sleep. But there are also health conditions and lifestyle choices that can put you at risk of sleeping hot, keeping you from a full night of sleep.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re feeling stressed or have anxiety it can raise your core body temperature<\/a>. This applies to both recent emotional upheaval and chronic stress.<\/p>\n Anxiety is also tied to increased sweating<\/a>, another sign your body is running hot.\u00a0We recommend talking to your doctor if you find yourself sweating excessively at night<\/a>\u00a0to find a possible cause and strategize ways to manage your symptoms.<\/p>\n Exercising not too long before bed can warm your body up and prevent you from falling asleep as quickly as you might otherwise. If you\u2019re an athletic person, you may also sleep hot if you have a large amount of muscle mass, as a 2018 study<\/a>\u00a0found the more muscle mass you have, the better your body retains heat.<\/p>\n If you enjoy exercising at night or it\u2019s the best time for you to get a work out in, we advise exercising early in the evening between 5 and 7 p.m. This will give your body time to cool down before bedtime.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a heavier sleeper who weighs more than 230 pounds, you might be at risk of sleeping hot. An overweight sleeper might sink too deeply into a mattress if it\u2019s not designed to take on their weight. This restricts airflow around the body and brings more of the body into contact with a mattress that may be trapping heat. The best mattresses for heavy sleepers<\/a> are typically firm and breathable, to prevent sinkage and heat retention.<\/p>\n Obesity is also tied to excessive sweating, which can be a sign you\u2019re sleeping hot if it occurs at night.<\/p>\n A cooling mattress is designed to regulate your body temperature and prevent overheating, and should work well in a warm climate or with a hot sleeper. Different materials and technologies can be used to construct a cooling mattress, and we\u2019ll go over some of them.<\/p>\n Traditional memory foam has an issue with trapping body heat, which can wake you during the night. One of the more popular ways to solve this problem is by adding cooling gel to the foam mixture, either with gel beads or by infusing the foam with gel during the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n Some memory foam manufacturers may instead use copper or graphite, which works similar to gel beads by pulling heat away from the sleeper.<\/p>\n Open-cell technology refers to the air bubbles created in a memory foam mattress<\/a> during the manufacturing process. These bubbles make the foam responsive and allow heat to pass through and dissipate outside the mattress more easily.<\/p>\n All memory foam mattresses use open-cell technology, however not all memory foam mattresses are made equal. We recommend looking for a mattress with improved open-cell technology for added breathability. Many plant-based memory foam mattresses, for example, have an advanced open-cell design as part of their construction.<\/p>\n Bamboo is a breathable, natural material gaining in popularity. The fabric is made from the fibers of the bamboo plant, which is a grass and not a tree. Bamboo is used in pillows, sheets, mattress covers and sometimes even in mattresses.<\/p>\n Bamboo wicks away moisture, which not only works to keep you cool by preventing moisture buildup but also discourages dust mites from making a home in your mattress.<\/p>\n Bamboo is a renewable and sustainable resource derived from bamboo cellulose, which makes it an eco-friendly material. However, sometimes you\u2019ll find bamboo in natural-synthetic blends, such as bamboo-polyester or bamboo viscose.<\/p>\n Latex tends to sleep cooler than traditional memory foam as it often absorbs less body heat and fluctuates less with changing room temperature.<\/p>\n Latex can still trap heat, which is why some manufacturers aerate the foam with thousands of tiny pinholes along with an open-cell structure. This structure allows air to flow through and carry off unwanted heat. Additionally, moving on top of a latex mattress can \u201cpump\u201d air out through the ventilation holes.<\/p>\n However, these cooling features mostly apply to natural latex. Synthetic latex will likely not keep you as cool.<\/p>\n A mattress with coil support has a less dense structure than a foam bed, allowing air to more easily pass through and disperse heat. However, the cooling effects of a coil system can be mitigated if the mattress is topped with a thick comfort layer.<\/p>\n Your mattress isn\u2019t the only part of your bed working to keep you cool. Everything on top of it, from a mattress cover and pad to your sheets and pillow, can help you sleep cool. Even your bed frame can help keep your mattress cool if it allows unwanted heat to escape.<\/p>\n Just a quick lesson\u2014 a mattress protector and a mattress pad are not the same thing. What we tend to call a mattress pad goes on like a fitted sheet, while a mattress protector encases the entire mattress and often zips closed.<\/p>\n Many mattresses come with an included cover. If yours does not, we recommend investing in a protector, not only for added cooling features but as a way to\u00a0protect your mattress from allergens and spills.<\/p>\n Mattress brands use a variety of cooling fabrics and technologies in their covers. Some of the most common are as follows:<\/p>\n Using a mattress pad<\/a> or mattress topper infused with gels is one way to promote a cool night\u2019s rest. This can extend the use of your mattress if it has a tendency to retain heat, but it won\u2019t keep your temperature as low as a mattress designed with cooling features would.<\/p>\n Many mattress pads you\u2019ll find on the market come with a quilted design, but we advise looking for a non-quilted pad. A quilted pad has a thicker, denser top, which prevents airflow and thereby traps heat.<\/p>\n Much like mattress covers, some mattress pads are made with specialty cooling fibers. There\u2019s also the low-tech solution of a cotton mattress pad, which is not only a breathable material but can keep you from waking up in a sweat by wicking away unneeded moisture.<\/p>\n It makes sense that too much bedding might overheat you, so if you have a problem sleeping hot, the first step is to minimize your blankets.<\/p>\n The materials of your bedding can affect how hot you sleep as well. We advise against using bedding made of synthetic material such as polyester or rayon, as it\u2019s often less breathable than natural materials such as cotton, linen, and bamboo. You can also buy bedding made with cooling fibers.<\/p>\n One quick DIY solution is to place your sheets in a plastic bag and then in the freezer until they\u2019re cool (just for a few minutes). The plastic bag keeps the sheets from drawing in moisture from the freezer.<\/p>\n Place these sheets on your mattress shortly before bedtime. The chill won\u2019t last the entire night, but it might cool you down enough to help you slip off more quickly to sleep. This trick works with a pillowcase as well.<\/p>\n Your pillow should not only support your head and neck but keep both cool while you sleep. Pillows made with down, latex, gel memory foam, shredded memory foam, plant-based memory foam, buckwheat, or cotton can avoid heat build-up.<\/p>\n You can cover your pillow with a pillowcase made with specialty cooling fibers or a breathable material such as cotton or bamboo. There\u2019s also our previously mentioned pillowcase-in-the-freezer trick, for a low-budget way to sleep on a cool pillow.<\/p>\n Your current foundation might be trapping heat in your mattress if it doesn\u2019t allow for proper ventilation. If your mattress rests on a completely solid surface such as a platform bed or the floor, heat can\u2019t escape through the bottom.<\/p>\n If you want a new mattress foundation<\/a>, we advise choosing one with slats that are no more than 2.75 inches apart to provide needed support while allowing the bottom of your mattress to be aerated.<\/p>\n A cooling mattress and bedding is not the only solution to the problem of sleeping hot, though it is a simple and effective one. There are other steps you can take to minimize the risk of sleeping hot.<\/p>\n An easy method for a cooler night’s sleep is to lower your thermostat. We understand the appeal of a toasty, warm bedroom, but it might be keeping you from a full night of sleep.<\/p>\n The recommended room temperature<\/a>\u00a0ranges from 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. This might sound too low, but a cool room temperature helps you fall asleep and can improve sleep quality.<\/p>\n It can take\u00a0a little bit of experimentation to find your perfect temperature. If you\u2019re roused in the night from chills, raise the thermostat a degree or two. Conversely, if you\u2019re waking up hot, try bumping the thermostat down a degree or two.<\/p>\n We advise setting your thermostat at 65 degrees to start and then adjusting it as needed.<\/p>\n If the temperature\u2019s cooler outside than it is inside, you can open your windows before bed to cool down the inside of your home and save on air conditioning.<\/p>\n You can try changing up your pajamas for something lighter and cooler for a better night of sleep. Avoid silk and polyester pajamas, which can trap body heat. Try a more breathable fabric such as cotton or bamboo, and go for pajamas with a loose fit for added breathability.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a definite link between exercise and quality sleep. Scientific evidence suggests\u00a0exercise helps you fall asleep<\/a>\u00a0and stay asleep. Be careful when you\u2019re exercising, though, as working out too close to bedtime can keep you from a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n As exercising increases body temperature, a late-night workout can leave your body too warm to easily fall asleep. The simplest solution is to work out earlier in the day.<\/p>\n If that\u2019s not feasible or you like to unwind after a long day by exercising, we recommend scheduling your workouts between 5 to 7 p.m. It\u2019s early enough in the evening to give you the time needed to cool down before bed.<\/p>\n This might sound counterintuitive, but have you ever spent time soaking in a tub or swimming in a pool, feeling comfortable and warm, only to have a chill go through your body after you step out of the water? That\u2019s the basic idea behind the cooling effect of a warm bath.<\/p>\n Why does a warm bath before bed work to keep you cool? A warm bath or shower increases blood circulation<\/a>\u00a0to your hands and feet. This disperses body heat and cools your core temperature.<\/p>\n A 2019 review<\/a>\u00a0suggests bathing about 90 minutes before bed in water ranging from 104 to 109 degrees Fahrenheit leads to better sleep.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve covered a lot about sleeping hot and the cooling materials a mattress can contain, but there\u2019s still a lot about mattresses<\/a> we haven\u2019t discussed. When you\u2019re shopping for a new mattress, it\u2019s smart to keep your sleep position, budget, preferred material and ideal mattress firmness in mind as you look.<\/p>\n The type of mattress best for you can depend on what you want out of a bed. Would you like a bed that molds to your body for pressure and pain relief? Or a bed that provides some bounce? Keep in mind that some mattress types<\/a> are more naturally cooling than others.<\/p>\n Memory foam\u2019s popularity has skyrocketed with the ease of bed-in-a-box brands, but its main draw is how well it contours to the sleeper\u2019s body, alleviating pressure points and soothing pain as you rest.<\/p>\n Memory foam is manufactured by taking polyurethane foam and processing it for added viscosity and elasticity. This creates a responsive bed that molds to you while you\u2019re lying down but then snaps back to its original shape when you get out of bed in the morning.<\/p>\n Its\u00a0conforming nature also allows it to isolate motion well\u2014 better than any other type of mattress on the market. This can make memory foam an ideal choice for anyone who\u2019s sharing a bed.<\/p>\n Traditional memory foam does have a tendency toward heat retention, but as we covered earlier there are multiple mattresses on the market that address and counter this with added materials and features. Some brands use cooling gels, copper, or graphite in their foam mixture. Others use plant-based foam with added breathability and improved air circulation.<\/p>\n Natural latex foam is manufactured from the sap of a rubber tree, while synthetic latex is made through a chemical process. Much like memory foam, latex can contour to a sleeper\u2019s curves, although latex has more bounce to it than memory foam.<\/p>\n There are two popular processes to make latex, the Dunlop process and the Talalay process. While both involve rubber tree sap, only Dunlop is 100 percent natural. Talalay is typically the softer of the two, and as there are more steps in its creation, Talalay tends to be more expensive as well.<\/p>\n Natural latex sleeps cooler than synthetic latex, absorbing less heat. It\u2019s also a firm material, which can be a plus when it comes to sleeping cool but a drawback if you like a softer mattress. Some brands include an optional pillowtop to cut back on the firm feel.<\/p>\n One downside of a latex mattress is the price. A natural latex bed is often one of the more expensive mattresses on the market.<\/p>\n An innerspring mattress is inexpensive and easy to find. You\u2019ve probably slept on one before.<\/p>\n An innerspring is one of the better cooling mattresses. Its coil setup promotes airflow and its lack of body contouring means it absorbs less body heat than other mattress types.<\/p>\n However, this same lack of body contouring can be a hindrance if you need a mattress to alleviate pain or pressure. The bed\u2019s coils can also sag with age, causing the mattress to lose its shape and stop providing your body with the support it needs.<\/p>\n Like an innerspring mattress, a hybrid\u2019s coil system helps it to sleep cool, though this can be less effective than it would be in an innerspring mattress because of the top foam layer.<\/p>\n There are two main drawbacks to a hybrid mattress<\/a>. One is the attached price tag, as hybrid mattresses are among the more expensive beds on the market because of all the high-quality materials that go into one. The other downside is the risk of sagging as the coils inside wear out relatively fast.<\/p>\n Keep your sleeping position in mind as you mattress shop because it will influence what mattress firmness is the best fit for you. A good mattress should help keep your spine and hips aligned and take the pressure off sensitive body parts, such as the neck, hips, and back.<\/p>\n Sleeping on your right side comes with a few health benefits. Side sleeping is the position most effective at clearing waste proteins<\/a>\u00a0from your brain, promotes blood flow<\/a>, and may keep the heart healthy<\/a>\u00a0by reducing the pressure gravity places on it.<\/p>\n However, side sleepers<\/a> risk waking up with sore hips and shoulders because of the pressure the position places on those areas. A soft, plush mattress can let a side sleeper sink in, relieving pressure on their hips and shoulders. This is why we recommend medium to soft mattresses<\/a> for side sleepers.<\/p>\n Back sleeping is a position naturally suited to keep the spine aligned. It evenly distributes weight, which prevents you from waking up sore by placing too much pressure on a few areas of your body. As a back sleeper, try to keep your sleeping close to what it would be if you were standing straight.<\/p>\n We recommend medium-firm to firm mattresses for back sleepers.<\/p>\n We do not recommend stomach sleeping due to the health setbacks tied to it; instead, we recommend back\u00a0or side sleeping. By sleeping on your stomach, your center of gravity moves to your torso. This can lead to your hips and stomach sinking too deeply into the mattress, fostering an unwanted arch in your spine that can cause or aggravate lower back pain.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re going to continue to sleep on your stomach, we advise shopping for a medium-firm to firm mattress to better support your spine. We also recommend keeping a pillow under your abdomen as you sleep for more support and sleeping on a thin head pillow for less neck strain.<\/p>\n There is no one correct firmness when it comes to mattresses, but there are firmnesses that will suit you better than others based on your body weight and sleeping position. As we mentioned earlier, the right firmness works to keep your spine in a neutral alignment.<\/p>\n The firmness scale is a common method for mattress brands to describe their mattress\u2019s firmness. The scale goes from 1 to 10, with 1 as the softest mattress and 10 as the firmest mattress. Most mattresses on the market fall between a 3 and an 8, as mattresses at either extreme aren\u2019t suited for most sleepers.<\/p>\n This scale invites subjectivity, though, and you may find what qualifies as a 5 at one company another mattress company may classify as a 6.<\/p>\n As a general rule, heavier sleepers need a firmer mattress to better take on their weight, while a lightweight sleeper would do better on a softer mattress than the average sleeper. We break down each weight category and its correct firmness in the table below:<\/p>\n![\"Zoma](\"https:\/\/zomasleep.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/zoma-mattress2-300x166.jpg\")
