Inside the Making of Cooling Collection: R&D Behind the Cooling Experience
At BedStory, we believe that a good night’s sleep starts with the right mattress. As one of the most sought-after features for today’s consumers, cooling technology is at the forefront of our mattress innovation. That's why we created the Cooling Collection mattress—a product designed to keep you cool, comfortable, and well-rested all night long.
But what makes Cooling Collection so effective? In this article, we’ll take you behind the scenes of the research and development (R&D) that went into creating this revolutionary cooling experience. From the materials used to the science of temperature regulation, we’ll explain how our Cooling Collection mattress is designed to offer the ultimate sleep experience.

  1. Understanding the Need for Cooling Technology
As temperatures rise, both indoors and outdoors, many people struggle to get restful sleep due to overheating. Overheating during sleep can cause frequent waking, discomfort, and disruptions in the sleep cycle, especially during the REM and deep sleep stages. For many, a warm or hot mattress can make it impossible to achieve the quality rest they need.
BedStory’s R&D team recognized this problem and focused on creating a mattress that doesn’t just prevent heat buildup but actively cools the sleep surface for a more comfortable, restful sleep.

  1. The Science Behind Cooling Technology
Cooling technology is more than just about lowering the surface temperature; it’s about creating a dynamic cooling experience that works with your body temperature throughout the night. Our R&D team combined multiple technologies and materials to develop the Cooling Collection mattress, which offers the perfect balance of comfort and cooling support.

Key Cooling Components in Cooling Collection:

  • Cooling Gel-Infused Memory Foam: The key to the matteress cooling capability lies in gel-infused memory foam. Traditional memory foam tends to trap heat, which can make the sleeping surface warmer. However, gel memory foam is engineered with cooling gel beads that actively absorb heat and wick it away from the body, helping to maintain a cooler, more comfortable sleep surface. The gel beads are carefully placed within the foam layers to provide even distribution across the mattress.
  • Phase Change Materials (PCMs): Phase change materials are incorporated into Cooling Collection’s design to regulate temperature. PCMs work by absorbing excess heat when the body becomes too warm and releasing it when the body cools down. This material works to keep the mattress surface at an optimal sleep temperature, preventing overheating without making the mattress too cold.
  • Breathable Mattress Cover: The Cooling Collection mattress is designed with a breathable, moisture-wicking cover that enhances airflow. This fabric allows for better ventilation, ensuring that heat can escape and cooler air circulates throughout the night. The cover’s moisture-wicking properties also help reduce sweat and keep you feeling fresh.
  • Open-Cell Foam Technology: Open-cell foam allows for greater airflow within the mattress. The air pockets within the foam help increase ventilation, which means your body heat won’t get trapped in the mattress. The result is a mattress that stays cooler longer, providing consistent comfort throughout the night.

  1. Testing and Fine-Tuning the Cooling Effect
Once the core components of the Cooling Collection mattress were developed, it was time to put them to the test. Our team conducted a series of real-world tests to fine-tune the cooling effect and ensure it met the needs of consumers who sleep hot.

Sleep Temperature Monitoring:

Our R&D team used temperature sensors placed on the mattress to monitor the temperature changes throughout the night. These sensors tracked how well the mattress regulated heat and how quickly it returned to a comfortable temperature once the body temperature changed.

Consumer Sleep Trials:

We conducted sleep trials with people who tend to sleep hot, testing the mattress in different environments and on various sleep positions. Feedback from these trials allowed us to refine the cooling technology, ensuring that it was not only effective but also comfortable for a wide range of users.

Durability Testing:

To ensure the cooling effect lasts throughout the life of the mattress, we performed extensive durability testing. This included stress tests, compression tests, and temperature variation tests to simulate how the mattress would respond over time with frequent use. The results showed that Cooling Collection maintained its cooling properties, even after months of regular use.

  1. Benefits of Cooling Collectionfor Sleep Quality
The innovative design of the Cooling Collection mattress offers several key benefits that contribute to better sleep quality for individuals who struggle with overheating at night:
  • Consistent Sleep Temperature: The combination of gel-infused foam, PCMs, and breathable materials ensures that the mattress adapts to your body’s temperature needs, maintaining an optimal sleep temperature throughout the night.
  • Reduced Night Sweats: By regulating body temperature and preventing heat buildup, Cooling Collection significantly reduces the occurrence of night sweats, allowing you to sleep through the night without waking up feeling damp or uncomfortable.
  • Deeper, Uninterrupted Sleep: With the cooling technology working in your favor, your body can reach the deep sleep stages—where the most restorative rest happens. This means better recovery, improved cognitive function, and overall well-being.
  • All-Season Comfort: Unlike traditional cooling mattresses that can feel too cold in winter, Cooling Collection provides a balanced cooling effect that’s comfortable year-round, ensuring your mattress works in both hot and cool weather conditions.

  1. Sustainable Design and Materials
As part of our commitment to sustainability, the Cooling Collection mattress is made with eco-friendly, sustainable materials. The gel memory foam used in Cooling Collection is designed to provide the cooling benefits without compromising on durability or the environment. Additionally, the mattress cover is made from certified sustainable fabrics, and our foam is CertiPUR-US certified, ensuring that it is free from harmful chemicals.
By combining advanced cooling technologies with eco-conscious materials, we’ve created a mattress that not only promotes better sleep but is also environmentally friendly.

Conclusion

The Cooling Collection mattress is the result of extensive research and development, incorporating the latest in cooling technology to create a mattress that actively regulates temperature and promotes restful, uninterrupted sleep. From gel-infused memory foam to phase change materials and breathable covers, each element of the Cooling Collection mattress is carefully designed to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night.
At BedStory, we believe that better sleep starts with innovative design, and the Cooling Collection mattress is a testament to that philosophy. By combining cutting-edge technology with eco-friendly materials, we’ve created a mattress that offers premium comfort while promoting a cooler, healthier sleep environment.
If you’re ready to experience the cooling comfort of Cooling Collection, it’s time to take the next step towards better, more refreshing sleep.
