Our Testing & Selection Process
What we evaluated
- Mattresses evaluated for this page: 200+ cooling-leaning mattresses from our dataset (mix of legacy brands and Canadian-made options).
- Key data points per mattress: materials & layer specs, cooling features, coil systems, firmness profile, motion isolation, edge support, off-gassing expectations, warranty, and price.
- Timeframe: Updated for 2026.
How we score cooling mattresses
We score mattresses across 10 core categories, then apply a value adjustment so price-to-performance matters (especially important in Canada where premium cooling upgrades can be expensive).
- Cooling & Breathability (17%) — airflow, cover + foam tech, heat dissipation
- Pressure Relief (14%) — shoulder/hip cushioning, contour without “stuck” feel
- Spinal Support & Alignment (13%) — zoned support, firmness stability
- Motion Transfer (9%) — partner disturbance
- Edge Support (7%) — sitting + sleeping near the edge
- Responsiveness & Ease of Movement (6%) — bounce, repositioning
- Odor & Off-gassing (4%) — realistic initial smell expectations
- Durability & Build Quality (10%) — coil quality, foam density, long-term stability
- Brand (5%) — history, warranty policies, support track record
- Sleep Trial (3%) — risk reduction
- Value / Price-to-Performance (12%) — price normalized against performance
Important: These scores are realistic expectations based on construction, materials, and verified owner feedback and in-store comparisons. Your results will vary by body type, base, and room temperature.
Minimum requirements to make this list
- Available in Canada and listed on National Mattress.
- Cooling-friendly construction (breathable cover, cooling foams, coils for airflow, latex/gel/PCM as applicable).

#1 Sealy Posturepedic 800 Series 13" Medium Firm Euro Top Mattress — Best Overall
Overall score: 9.9 / 10
Price (Queen): $595 • Type: Innerspring (Pocket Coil) • Firmness: Medium Firm (6.8/10) • Height: 13.0"
Trial: 100 nights • Warranty: 10 years
Brand reputation: Est. 1881; Reputation: one of the best-known heritage brands (Posturepedic support focus); Quality history: generally strong, with better longevity in higher-tier Posturepedic/hybrid lines; Warranty: 10-year limited with online claim submission or retailer assistance; Availability: very broad-carried by major national chains (e.g., Mattress Firm's 2,300+ stores) plus many independents.
Best For
- ✅ Combo sleepers who want a balanced feel (lift + pressure relief).
- ✅ Back and stomach sleepers who want a flatter, cooler surface.
- ✅ Hot sleepers who prioritize airflow and a cooler surface feel.
Considerations
- ⚠️ Like most coil-based beds, it has more bounce than slow-moving memory foam.
- ⚠️ If you want a deep “hug,” consider a softer foam-forward model instead.
- ⚠️ New-foam smell is usually mild and typically fades in about 3 days.
Our Verdict
Sealy Posturepedic 800 Series 13" Medium Firm Euro Top Mattress is a innerspring (pocket coil) built to keep heat moving instead of trapping it. Expect a medium firm feel with a “lifted” surface thanks to its support core, plus comfort layers that add cushioning without turning the bed into a heat sponge.
Who it fits best: Combo sleepers who want a balanced feel (lift + pressure relief). If you’re a hot sleeper, the airflow-oriented build is the big win—especially compared with dense, traditional foams.
Performance highlights: In our rubric, it stands out for cooling, motion isolation, edge support, pressure relief. (These are realistic expectations based on construction, materials, and verified owner feedback and in-store comparisons—your results will vary.)
Value check: At around $595 for a Queen, it’s a strong price-to-performance pick in the cooling category. If you prefer a slow, “melting” memory-foam hug, you may want an all-foam option instead.
Price: $595

#5 Chirofoam 12" Luxury Firm Hybrid Mattress — Best Value Hybrid
Overall score: 9.5 / 10
Price (Queen): $675 • Type: Hybrid • Firmness: Luxury Firm (7.6/10) • Height: 12.0"
Trial: 100 nights • Warranty: 15 years
Brand reputation: Est. 2015; Reputation: Canadian chiropractor-informed foam/hybrid brand positioned around orthopedic support; Quality history: supportive designs emphasizing pressure relief and sag resistance; Warranty: 15-year limited (prorated) with brand-direct support and a straightforward online process; Availability: limited physical retail-locations page lists 3 Ontario showrooms/partner locations, plus Canada/US direct shipping.
Best For
- ✅ Back and stomach sleepers who want a flatter, cooler surface.
- ✅ Hot sleepers who prioritize airflow and a cooler surface feel.
- ✅ Couples who want less sleep disturbance from movement.
Considerations
- ⚠️ Like most coil-based beds, it has more bounce than slow-moving memory foam.
- ⚠️ If you want a deep “hug,” consider a softer foam-forward model instead.
- ⚠️ New-foam smell is usually mild and typically fades in about 1 day.
Our Verdict
Chirofoam 12" Luxury Firm Hybrid Mattress is a hybrid built to keep heat moving instead of trapping it. Expect a luxury firm feel with a “lifted” surface thanks to its support core, plus comfort layers that add cushioning without turning the bed into a heat sponge.
Who it fits best: Back and stomach sleepers who want a flatter, cooler surface. If you’re a hot sleeper, the airflow-oriented build is the big win—especially compared with dense, traditional foams.
Performance highlights: In our rubric, it stands out for cooling, motion isolation, edge support, pressure relief. (These are realistic expectations based on construction, materials, and verified owner feedback and in-store comparisons—your results will vary.)
Value check: At around $675 for a Queen, it’s a strong price-to-performance pick in the cooling category. If you prefer a slow, “melting” memory-foam hug, you may want an all-foam option instead.

Performance Breakdown (Scores)
| Category | Score (0–10) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure Relief | 10.0 | All-foam build + layered gel-infused memory foam create a plush, contouring cradle at the shoulders and hips; Support foams stabilize the sink to prevent bottoming out. Great for side sleepers. |
| Spinal Support & Alignment | 10.0 | High-density foam core (2.2 lb/ft³) supports neutral alignment by resisting sagging. Firm transition foams help prevent bottoming out; Firmer feel helps keep the pelvis from tilting. |
| Cooling & Breathability | 9.5 | CoolTemp™ cooling cover; Breathable latex + gel-infused foams. |
| Motion Transfer | 10.0 | Strong motion isolation: Slow-response memory foam helps absorb movement before it spreads; A thicker foam stack adds extra damping for partner movement. |
| Edge Support | 9.2 | A supportive Serta® foam core (2.2 lb/ft³) and firmer support help the edges hold their shape for sleeping (or sitting) closer to the side. |
| Responsiveness | 8.7 | More contouring and slower to respond, so switching positions can take a bit more effort. Key factors: latex adds immediate pushback; a thin memory-foam layer adds contouring without removing all the bounce. |
| Odor & Off-gassing | 10.0 | CertiPUR-US foams; low off-gassing typically clears in 1–3 days. |
| Durability & Build Quality | 10.0 | Support foam core (2.2 lb/ft³) is built for consistent support and shape retention. Resilient latex layers add long-lasting bounce. Higher-density support foam helps slow impressions. Backed by a 10 Year Warranty. |

Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Best Cooling Mattress
1) Pick your firmness based on sleep position
- Side sleepers: typically Medium to Medium-Firm (about 5.5–7/10) for shoulder/hip pressure relief.
- Back sleepers: typically Medium-Firm to Firm (about 6.5–8/10) for alignment.
- Stomach sleepers: typically Firm to Extra Firm (about 7.5–9/10) to prevent hip sink.
- Combo sleepers: prioritize responsiveness and a balanced firmness so you can move easily.
2) Cooling: what actually helps
Cooling isn’t one magic material—it’s a combination of airflow + heat dissipation:
- Coil airflow: Pocket-coil cores leave open space for air movement, which usually sleeps cooler than dense foam builds.
- Breathable covers: moisture-wicking fabrics and knit covers can reduce clammy heat buildup.
- Gel or conductive infusions: common in memory foam to reduce heat retention (background: Sleep Foundation on gel memory foam).
- Phase-change materials (PCM): “buffer” temperature by absorbing/releasing heat near a target range (background: Outlast on phase-change materials).

3) Pressure relief vs. ease of movement
Soft foams can feel cozy but may also trap heat and make it harder to reposition. If you toss and turn, look for hybrids or responsive foams (latex-style feel), plus strong Responsiveness scores. If you prefer all-foam, browse memory foam mattresses and prioritize cooling upgrades.
4) Couples: motion + edge support
If your partner wakes you up, prioritize Motion Transfer and Edge Support. A stable perimeter helps if you share the bed or sit at the edge often.
5) Policies that matter
- Trial & returns: Always confirm current sleep trial terms before buying.
- Warranty: Look for at least 10 years, and read what’s covered (sag depth, stains, base compatibility).
- Delivery & setup: Consider white-glove options if you need removal or stairs support.
- Accessories that help cooling: a breathable protector can protect the bed without trapping heat—shop Mattress Protectors.
If you’re pairing with an adjustable base, check compatibility and shop Adjustable Bases.
FAQs
What firmness is best for a cooling mattress?
Firmness doesn’t directly equal cooling—construction does. That said, very plush beds can let you sink deeper (more surface contact), which can feel warmer. Many hot sleepers land in the Medium-Firm to Firm range for a cooler, more “on top” feel.
Are cooling mattresses good for back pain?
They can be—cooling features don’t replace support, but the best cooling mattresses in this list also scored highly in Spinal Support & Alignment. For back pain, start with our firmer picks (#2 or #8) or a supportive hybrid (#3).
How long do cooling mattresses last?
Most quality mattresses last about 7–10 years, but heavier sleepers and softer builds can wear faster. Look for strong Durability & Build Quality scores, reputable warranties, and coil systems/foam densities designed to resist sagging.
Do these mattresses have fiberglass?
Fiberglass is sometimes used as a fire barrier in some budget foam mattresses. Product listings don’t always specify fire barrier materials, so the best way to verify is to check the law label on the mattress when it arrives or contact the manufacturer/retailer for the exact barrier used.
Which pick is best for hot sleepers?
For most people, start with Sealy Posturepedic 800 Series 13" Medium Firm Euro Top Mattress for the best all-around cooling performance and value. If you want a foam feel with cooling upgrades, look at our #10 pick.
Bottom Line
If you want the safest all-around choice, get Sealy Posturepedic 800 Series 13" Medium Firm Euro Top Mattress for its cooling airflow + balanced support.
If you’re on a budget, start with our Best Under $800 pick (#6).
If you want a foam feel but still sleep cooler, choose our Best Cooling Foam pick (#10).
