Gel Mattresses

Benefits of a Gel Mattress

Gel mattresses include a layer of gel foam above a sprung core. This layer provides a number of benefits to ensure a restful night’s sleep:

• Temperature regulation: Gel layers draw heat away from the body, preventing the build-up of warmth during the night. By spreading heat more evenly across the mattress surface, gel helps keep you cooler and more comfortable.
• Pressure relief: Gel foam retains the contouring benefits of memory foam, providing pressure relief for your shoulders, hips and back. Gel’s natural buoyancy means that it supports you without causing you to sink into the mattress.
• Breathability: Many gel topped mattresses include open-cell foam structures or breathable covers that improve ventilation and help maintain a fresh, dry sleep environment.
• Motion Isolation: The gel-infused layer works alongside supportive foam or pocket springs to absorb movement, so you’re less likely to feel a partner turning over or getting out of bed.
• Hypoallergenic and Durable: Gel-infused foams are naturally resistant to dust mites and allergens, creating a hygienic sleep environment. The gel also helps prevent heat-related foam breakdown, supporting the mattress structure over time.
