Best Cooling Mattress Pads

The Cozy Earth Bamboo Mattress Pad is a lightweight model with a thin profile. The breathable viscose derived from bamboo is particularly suitable for hot sleepers or those living in humid climates, as it helps wick away moisture and regulate temperature.

The pad is hypoallergenic. Cozy Earth sources bamboo from USDA-certified organic farms, which means that it is free of chemicals and pesticides. The company does not use dyes, and the pad is a natural white color. The bamboo-derived viscose is highly breathable, which helps the mattress pad prevent the buildup of moisture and bacteria.

The pad is available in twin, queen, king, and California king sizes and fits mattresses up to 20 inches deep. It has a strong elastic band to help keep the mattress pad in place. In order to preserve the mattress pad’s structural integrity and soft feel, it should be machine washed on the delicate setting.

Cozy Earth offers free shipping and returns for U.S. orders. The Bamboo Mattress Pad is backed by a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty.

Birch is known for producing quality mattresses and bedding products that are made with eco-conscious materials, and the Organic Mattress Pad is no exception. The materials are sustainably sourced and excel at absorbing moisture, making this an ideal product for shoppers who prioritize environmentally friendly pads that keep you dry.

The pad is composed of cotton with a GOTS organic certification. The cotton cover has a 300 thread count with a sateen weave that gives it a smooth, silky feel. It is quilted with cotton fibers that wick moisture from the surface to prevent sweat and other liquids from seeping into your mattress. The pad is designed with an elasticated skirt that fits over your mattress. Measuring 16 inches deep, the skirt is compatible with most mid- to high-profile models. Note that the skirt is made mostly of cotton but contains a small amount of lycra to ensure a snug fit.

Cotton has natural cooling properties, so the cotton composition of the Birch Organic Mattress Pad makes it a highly breathable option – which is not always the case with mattress pads. The quilting also creates a soft and slightly plush surface, which some may find more comfortable than mattress pads that feel stiff or crinkly.

The pad is available in a twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king size. It is machine-washable, though Birch recommends a washer and dryer with high capacity to ensure it can handle the pad. Wash in cold water on a gentle setting, then tumble dry on low heat.

The Organic Mattress Pad comes with a 100-night sleep trial and one-year warranty. Shipping is free to all 50 states.

The Saatva Organic Mattress Pad naturally wicks away moisture and heat for a cooler sleep environment. Cotton is lightweight and breathable, and the Saatva Organic Mattress Pad uses 100% organic cotton in its quilted construction. It is made without the use of chemicals or synthetic materials.

The 300 thread count of the Saatva Organic Mattress Pad is soft and breathable, allowing air to flow through the mattress pad. Organic cotton side panels with a wide elastic band secure the pad to the mattress. The pad can fit mattresses up to 16 inches thick, making it a great choice for those with higher mattress profiles. The mattress pad includes 0.75 inches of plush cotton fill, so it will add some softness to the mattress.

The Saatva Organic Mattress Pad is easy to clean as it can be machine washed on the gentle cycle and tumble dried. The mattress pad is available in standard sizes twin through California king. Saatva also offers an Upper-Flex option for the queen and king sizes, which corresponds to the Saatva Upper-Flex split top mattress.

Saatva offers a 45-day sleep trial for the Organic Mattress Pad and issues a full refund if you decide to return the pad. The company asks that any bedding is washed before returning. The Organic Mattress Pad is covered by a one-year limited warranty.

The Brooklyn Bedding Cooling Mattress Protector has a cool to the touch feel and breathable construction. The mattress protector improves the overall breathability of the mattress and draws heat away from the body. It resists dust mites and other allergens.

The company’s TitanCool technology is infused in the surface of the Cooling Mattress Protector. This phase change material (PCM) increases the conductivity of the protector and draws heat away from the body. The breathable elastic fabrication increases airflow.

Shoppers who want an easy to clean mattress pad will appreciate that the Brooklyn Bedding Cooling Mattress Protector can be machine washed in cool or warm water and tumble dried on a low setting. The mattress pad adds a layer of protection to the mattress, reducing normal wear and tear. The waterproof fabrication prevents spills from staining the mattress below.

The Brooklyn Bedding Cooling Mattress Protector is a thin cover, so sleepers should not expect it to add softness or change the firmness of the mattress. It is ideal for shoppers who want to protect their mattress from spills and stains while improving its overall breathability.

Brooklyn Bedding offers a 30-day sleep trial for the Cooling Mattress Protector.

Most cooling mattress pads control temperature well, but the Sijo TempTune takes thermoregulation up a notch thanks to its fill and shell materials. Proprietary Clima down alternative clusters give the pad an invitingly plush feel, and this material is engineered to resist heat buildup while you sleep. A shell made from a breathable, moisture-wicking blend of Tencel and nylon adds to the comfy design while also creating a silky-smooth exterior.

The pad is quilted with small, diamond-shaped baffles to contain and evenly distribute the fill. This helps ensure you won’t need to fluff the pad too frequently. Thick elastic banding also secures the pad to the corners of your mattress, and a 16-inch pocket depth makes it compatible with most beds made today. You can wash and dry the pad in your household machines for quick and easy care. Full, queen, king, and California king sizes are available.

A certification from the Forest Stewardship Council indicates the natural materials used to craft the TempTune Mattress Pad have been sustainably grown and cultivated. The sticker price is reasonable compared to the competition and Sijo offers free shipping for all U.S. orders. The company’s sleep trial is limited to seven nights, which is shorter than average, but full refunds are issued for all pads returned during this time frame.

Slumber Cloud products are known for using proprietary Outlast technology, which is engineered for optimal temperature regulation. Outlast is a phase change material (PCM), designed to absorb, store, and return heat. The Slumber Cloud Performance Mattress Pad elaborates on this technology using Tencel-based Outlast meant to reduce heat and moisture buildup when you’re too hot, and releasing heat if you start to get cold.

Down alternative fiber fills the mattress pad’s interior, adding cushioning to the surface without changing the overall feel of your mattress. The pad is available in seven sizes, including a split king option where you’ll receive two twin XL mattress pads. This is a great option for couples who own adjustable beds. Its elastic skirting has a 360-degree grip to ensure a snug fit, and the pad will fit mattresses with profiles up to 20 inches thick.

Slumber Cloud ships free to customers living in the contiguous U.S. All orders come with 60-night sleep trials and 180-day warranties against structural defects.

The Cool Zzz Mattress Pad from The Company Store is thoughtfully designed to keep sleepers comfortable by allowing plenty of airflow through the fabric. It’s a good option if you’d like some protective padding on your mattress surface without having to worry about overheating.

The mattress pad is filled with COOLMAX fiber, a proprietary polyester material engineered to promote cooling. The shell is composed of COOLMAX fiber and cotton, which is known for its natural breathability. The cooling materials make this mattress pad less prone to heat retention while you sleep, and the COOLMAX fibers wick away moisture and help keep you dry if you tend to sweat at night.

The Cool Zzz Mattress Pad is available in two pocket depths — 11 and 18 inches. The 11-inch option fits mattresses up to 12 inches deep and the 18-inch option can accommodate mattresses up to 20 inches deep. We recommend the latter if you own a pillow-top mattress. Keep in mind that the pad with the 18-inch pocket is only available in queen, king, and California king sizes, while the 11-inch option comes in all six standard sizes.

You may wash the Cool Zzz Mattress Pad on a gentle cycle in cold water and tumble dry on a low- or no-heat setting. The pad qualifies for free shipping to addresses in the contiguous U.S., and you may return the pad within 30 days for a full refund minus a small shipping fee.

Pocket depth may seem like an afterthought when choosing a mattress pad, but corners slipping off during the night can impede your sleep and leave you feeling tired in the morning. The Plushy Mattress Protector from Buffy features a thick elastic strap in each corner. Simply tuck these straps beneath your mattress to secure the protector and prevent shifting or clumping when you move in bed. The straps are flexible, so you can use this protector with any mattress profile of 8 to 21 inches — a range that encompasses nearly every model on the market.

The protector’s shell is composed of Tencel, a eucalyptus-derived textile prized for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties. A sateen weave makes the fabric soft and silky-smooth, creating a gentle glide that feels soothing on your skin. The fill is made of recycled PET fibers and adds plushness to the surface, which can be beneficial if your mattress has become overly firm or indented over time. Sewn-through baffle boxes help distribute the fill evenly.

Six sizes are available, all of which correspond to standard mattress dimensions. One downside to the Plushy is ease of care, as the protector should only be dry cleaned. Machine washing can permanently damage the fiber fill. On the other hand, this pad should appeal to eco-conscious shoppers. The Tencel is produced from sustainably grown trees, and the PET fibers have earned certification from the Global Recycle Standard.

Approachable pricing and free shipping throughout the contiguous U.S. make the Plushy Mattress Protector a solid choice for budget-minded shoppers. Buffy waits seven days to charge your card, giving you a few nights to test the pad and decide if it meets your needs. You’ll also receive a 50-night trial if you change your mind after the first week.
