If night sweats or hot flushes are constantly stealing your ZZZs, investing in a quality cooling mattress could do wonders for your sleep. Temperature regulating beds don't always come cheap, but luckily you can currently save $400 on mattress orders over $1000 at Saatva, including its luxury cooling mattresses. But which Saatva beds are good for hot sleepers?

With a near-perfect performance in our thorough mattress testing procedure, the Saatva Classic is our best mattress of the year. While it offers ample temperature regulation, it isn't our top Saatva mattress for hot sleepers, though it does feature in the four we've picked for keeping you cool and dry throughout the night.

The current $400 discount is part of a time limited Presidents' Day mattress sale, making it one of the best Saatva mattress sales we'll see this year, reducing the brand's cheaper mattresses to their lowest ever price. Plus, whenever you buy, you'll benefit from Saatva's premium customer service including lifetime warranty, free white glove delivery and free mattress removal. So, which Saatva cooling mattress is best for you? Read on to find out more...

What is a Saatva cooling mattress?

From moisture-wicking covers to breathable coil layers, gel-infused foam and smart water or fan-based systems, the best cooling mattresses on the market employ a range of cutting edge sleep technology to maintain optimal sleep temperature through the night. As a luxury mattress brand, Saatva caters to all manner of sleep needs with their beds, and thankfully, many of the best Saatva mattresses are designed to relieve those who run hot at night.

Saatva's two latex mattress options, the Saatva Latex Hybrid and Saatva Zenhaven Latex, are our standout picks for hot sleepers. These mattresses feature natural latex, a material manufactured from the sap of a rubber tree. It is eco-friendly, bouncy, cushioning and offers great cooling properties, keeping your mattress cool-to-touch without any need for electricity.

However, the Saatva Classic and Contour5 are also strong picks for those who run hot occasionally rather than suffer with nightly sweats, since we rated them as temperature neutral mattresses.

How does Saatva cooling technology work?

Cooling mattresses work by using breathable materials and/or specialized cooling systems. The two best Saatva cooling mattresses use natural latex to offer sleepers a cooler night.

Latex offers a similar body-contouring feel as you'd get with memory foam yet it's natural and far more breathable due to its open-cell construction. The Latex Hybrid Saatva uses 5-zone natural latex as well as a layer of individually wrapped recycled steel coils, plus moisture-wicking New Zealand wool and an organic cotton cover.

The design of the Zenhaven Latex Hybrid mattress is slightly different, since it has no springs and uses latex in their place. However, the materials and construction in both help regulate the body's temperature through the night, which can lead to significant relief from overheating and night sweats.

Saatva also have their signature CoolVent system, comprised of phase change materials designed to adsorb and dissipate excess body heat, keeping your mattress (and you!) cool while you sleep.
