Denver Mattress Has The Perfect Cooling Mattress For Hot Sleepers

If you constantly wake up hot, sweaty, or kicking off the covers, your mattress might be working against you. The materials inside your mattress directly affect how well heat escapes while you sleep - and the wrong ones can trap body heat and disrupt your sleep cycle all night long. If you sleep hot, then you definitely could benefit from a cooling mattress.

So what cooling mattress do we recommend?

Our Best Cooling Mattress: The Telluride Luxury Mattress

Most mattresses are engineered with cooling as an afterthought. The Telluride Luxury Mattress flips that - every layer, from the coil core to the cover, is intentionally chosen to move heat away from your body rather than trap it.

It's a whole-mattress approach to temperature regulation that goes beyond a cooling cover or a single gel layer, and it's why hot sleepers who try the Telluride often say it's unlike anything they've slept on before.

The Telluride Luxury Mattress: Layer by Layer

How does the Telluride keep you cool? Here's a quick breakdown of each layer

1.) SNOBoost Knit Cover

The Telluride is wrapped in our SNOBoost performance knit fabric - our coolest cover yet. It combines Phase Change Materials (PCMs) with ICE Yarn for dual-action cooling: PCMs absorb and release excess body heat to regulate your temperature through the night, while ICE Yarn feels cool the moment you lie down.

White Foam

2.) Nitrogen‑Infused Memory Foam

Traditional memory foam cradles pressure points but often traps heat. The Telluride uses nitrogen-infused visco memory foam, our most advanced cooling memory foam, which resists heat buildup so you get that slow-melting pressure relief around your shoulders, hips, and lower back without the hot, sinking sensation.

Latex Foam with Holes in it

3.) Breathable 100% Talalay Latex

The Telluride also includes a layer of 100% Talalay latex, which has a naturally open, airy cell structure that lets heat and humidity escape. Combined with the nitrogen-infused foam, it's one of the most effective cooling comfort combinations we've ever built.

4.) Individually‑Wrapped Coil Core

At the heart of the Telluride is a 952 individually-wrapped coil system - one of the highest coil densities in our lineup. Each coil responds independently to contour to your body, minimize motion transfer, and deliver balanced support across all sleep positions.
