We get a lot of questions about whether or not memory foam sleeps hot. Some people even stay away from memory foam because they think it sleep hot. Memory foam is temperature sensitive. The heat of your body helps it conform to your body’s shape and reduce pressure points, making it extremely comfortable. Memory foam will be firmer in a cooler room than it will be in a warmer room. Leave a memory foam pillow in a cold car overnight and it will feel like a brick. (I have done that.)

Why I Still Like Pure Memory Foam Vs Gel Foam

Why Our Memory Foam Doesn’t Sleep Hot
Whether memory foam “sleeps hot” or not is a concern for many people. Memory foam has a reputation for sleeping hot, especially because the leading brand, Tempur-Pedic, is known for this. Since sleeping hot is something that is undesirable, some memory foam manufacturers have worked to eliminate this drawback.
Memory Foam Does Not Have to “Sleep Hot!”
One of the concerns people have with memory foam is its reputation for “sleeping hot.” Memory foam reacts to your body’s weight and its temperature, as well as the room temperature. Does this mean it is destined to sleep hot? Not at all!

Memory Foam With an Open Cell Structure: What Does That Mean in Terms of Comfort?
Our unique memory foam is made by a boutique memory foam company that specializes only in memory foam. This specialization means that their focus is on creating the most comfortable memory foam possible. What does that mean for our memory foam, exactly?

Does Density Affect How Hot Memory Foam is To Sleep On?
Our question for today is:
Will a lower density foam or higher density foam be hotter to sleep on?
Answer:
Boy, that is a tough question. I can’t say I have a definitive answer for you. We’ve tested a lot of memory foams, and talked with many manufacturers about this issue, but I’ve never heard that density is the issue here. Instead, I think that it is more dependant on the particular characteristics of that memory foam.
