Best Mattresses for Sleepers Living in Cold Climates

The Nest Sparrow is a high-quality foam and coils mattress, which combines pressure reliving contouring with improved support. The mattress comes in three firmness levels of soft, medium and firm making it fit a wide range of sleeper types and weights. What is more, its King and California King sizes can be split to include two different firmnesses in one mattress customizing sleep experience.

The Sparrow performs well in cold weather. Its cover is made of a phase-change materials which absorb and store heat within their molecular structure making sleepers feel warm at the point where their body meets the mattress.

In addition, the mattress' comfort layer consists of ultra-conforming memory foam, which cradles the body trapping heat. This foam contains gel which spreads the trapped heat across the mattress warming all body parts. Another comfort layer made of elastic soft-medium density poly foam and two additional transition and base layers crafted from high density poly foam provide effective insulation preventing the heat stored in the mattress from dissipating.

The Sparrow's soft model retains heat better than the medium and firm models due to being more sinkable and contouring, but the mattress as a whole is a good choice for people living in the colder northern regions of the United States.

The Emma Hybrid Comfort is an 11'' foam and coils mattress. It offers sleepers several important benefits, such as enhanced pressure relieving comfort, advanced zoned support for greater stability while lying on the mattress and easy repositioning. Equally important, the Emma Climax Hybrid is an eco-friendly mattress as it's mostly built from sustainable materials.

The Hybrid Comfort has a soft polyester-based cover fabric, which provides excellent moisture wicking preventing dampness and condensation from forming on its surface in low temperature. The mattress' greatest plus is the medium density graphite-infused poly foam in its first layer. Graphite is characterized by high thermal conductivity. It absorbs heat, insulates it and redistributes it across the mattress.

The heat conducted and insulated by the graphite is generated by the Hybrid Comfort's second layer of malleable memory foam, which is engineered to mold to the body keeping it warm. This foam also contains graphite.

Finally, the fourth layer under the coil system is comprised of highly dense poly foam. Apart from adding durability to the mattress, it insulates heat keeping it inside the mattress for long hours.

The Big Fig is a mattress designed to support heavier sleepers as it can carry a maximum weight of 1,100 pounds. The mattress has a high profile of 13''. It's made of multiple layers of foam and latex and a system of individually encased coils. This structure makes it both responsive and supportive.

The Big Fig has a firmness level of medium-firm, which doesn't make it much contouring and, therefore, not the best heat trapping mattress. However, what it lacks in contouring, it makes up for in its substantial thickness, which enables it to better insulate heat.

What further increases the Big Fig's heat insulating capacity is an edge support layer of dense poly foam which surrounds the coils. Apart from solidifying the mattress' perimeter increasing edge support, this layer ensures cold air from the outside doesn't infiltrate into the mattress.

No less important, the Big Fig's comfort layer is based on 0.5'' ventilated latex providing effective moisture wicking which prevents dampness in cold weather. The latex is infused with gel. The gel assists in distributing heat more evenly warming the entire mattress.

The Brooklyn Sedona is Brooklyn's top-of-the-line mattress. It has five layers of different types of foam, including two comfort layers, which deeply contours sleepers' body. A system of 8'' individually wrapped coils generate lift, delivers strong support and gives the mattress a height of 14''. The Sedona is available in nine sizes.

One of the things that make the Sedona such a good mattress is its ability to retain heat. Its cover is manufactured from phase-change materials padded with foam. The phase-change materials absorb the heat trapped by the foam and keep the surface of the mattress warm to the touch.

The first comfort layer is made of low density spongy poly foam, which envelops sleepers trapping their body heat. The second comfort layer consists of conforming memory foam also designed to retain heat. The foam is infused with gel, which spreads the heat all over the mattress making sure there are no parts which are left cold.

Lastly, the mattress' two remaining layers of concentrated polyurethane foam and hardened poly foam function as heat insulators. The mattress's considerable height also helps insulating heat preventing external cold air from entering and heat from seeping out.

The Hope DreamZone Hybrid is a 12'' foam and coils mattress. Two memory foam comfort layers give a cozy feel and provide deep pressure relief for side sleepers as well as other types of sleepers. Two additional layers of medium density and high density poly foam and 8'' pocketed steel coils deliver strong supportive bounce. The mattress is offered at a highly affordable price allowing buyers to upgrade their sleep experience without putting a heavy burden on their budget.

The DreamZone's cover contains phase-change materials, which absorb and retain heat. The mattress' two comfort layers generate much heat as a result of sinkage caused by sleepers' body. Both of these layers contain gel, so the heat is scattered all over the mattress as thermal energy preventing sharp drops in temperature in cold nights.

The two layers of medium density and high density poly foam aren't as sinkable as the two comfort layers, and so they retain less heat. Yet due to their greater density, they do a good job insulating heat and keeping it within the mattress.
