Memory mattress is too hot and makes you sweat? The Solution

Is the Memory Mattress too hot and makes you sweat?

Memory is the most famous element in the world of mattresses. So many people know of its merits, primarily comfort, and likewise so many have heard of its drawbacks. A frequent question we are often asked is precisely one of the alleged drawbacks: is the Memory mattress warm? Does the Memory mattress make people sweat?

To answer this, it is first necessary to clarify what Memory is and what it does. Let's find out together!

What is Memory?

Memory is a polyurethane foam: in fact, it is referred to as Memory Foam. Its invention dates back to the 1970s and can be attributed to none other than NASA, the highly prestigious U.S. aerospace agency. NASA was then experimenting with new materials for the seats of its shuttles, components that could withstand acceleration and the force of gravity during takeoff. Thus it patented Memory, a foam with special and unique properties.

From there, Memory entered the "civilian" industry and specifically the mattress industry. Due to its characteristics, it has achieved widespread success and is now a key element in high demand.

Everyone wants a Memory mattress, but few know the truth: Memory mattresses do not exist!

Memory Foam mattresses do not exist: what are they?

Memory is a heat-sensitive foam that reacts to body heat and expands, adapting to the shape of the body. Once the pressure is over, the Memory Foam returns to its original state (the famous "memory effect").

Because of its ability to mold to the body, Memory Foam is ideal as the outermost and closest layer to the body and results in a high level of comfort and coziness, which is the first impact we have with the mattress. However, it is precisely because it adapts and molds to the body that Memory is unable to provide adequate support: if we slept on a Memory Foam mattress we would sink into it!

For structural reasons, therefore, a mattress composed solely of Memory Foam does not exist. So-called Memory Foam mattresses are mattresses that feature Memory as a filling or outer layer in contact with the body, there where its properties are enhanced. Instead, the supporting structure of so-called Memory mattresses consists of other types of polyurethane foams, which are firmer and more compact and therefore suitable as a base.

Summarizing:

• memory mattresses do not exist;
• a Memory-only mattress cannot exist because it does not provide support;
• "Memory mattresses" on the market possess a rigid and firm polyurethane foam base; in these mattresses, the Memory is the outer layer that acts as the padding.

Having clarified this, let us return to our original question: is Memory hot and does it make you sweat?

Is Memory warm? Advantages and disadvantages of a mattress with Memory

Memory is an extremely dense foam that flexes and softens precisely because it absorbs body heat. As a result, Memory does not boast optimal performance in terms of heat and sweat management.

This, a mattress with Memory is characterized by high coziness and comfort, but it does not make thermoregulation a strong point. One possible solution to counter the disadvantages of Memory lies in "balancing" its characteristics with other elements of the mattress. For example:

• a "hybrid" mattress with an inner structure of pocketed springs and Memory as the outer layer. In fact, springs are much more breathable than any type of foam and allow heat and moisture to escape from the mattress.
• A mattress with a breathable cover or fitted with specially designed technical elements to manage heat and moisture

The benefits of Memory are considerable, and the industry is constantly seeking functional and effective solutions to combine comfort and coziness with optimal thermoregulation.

The solution - X-BIO: a mattress with Memory that manages heat

X-BIO is an advanced sleep solution, a patented mattress that combines optimal ergonomics, comfort, coziness and thermoregulation.

Available in both foam and a hybrid version with pocketed springs, the X-BIO line features a Memory top layer that is ideal for accommodating the body and giving it proper warmth and comfort.

The traditional disadvantages of Memory are neutralized by the patented X-BIO system that manages heat and recycles sweat for optimal thermoregulation and to ensure mental and physical energy recovery.

All fabrics in the X-BIO line are composed at the base of a combination of Coolmax and Airmesh, modern fibers that regulate moisture and promote rapid evaporation of sweat. Power Channels on the surface, on the other hand, collect sweat and transport it to the outside, eliminating it.

In addition to the basic Coolmax/Airmesh combination, X-BIO models are covered in hi-tech fabrics rich in specific benefits that improve thermoregulation.

• Artic, whose yarn contains a special agent that determines the "cooling effect" for an immediate feeling of freshness;
• Ceramic, equipped with bio-ceramics that amplify the thermoregulation process;
• Copper, which uses copper fibers, a natural heat conductor, to disperse heat.

In addition, the X-BIO line uses the Multi-Fresh system consisting of side holes that promote the passage of air and thus increase breathability.

X-BIO offers you high standards in terms of ergonomics, comfort and coziness while ensuring proper heat and moisture management.
