One of the most common misconceptions about memory foam mattresses is that they are to blame for overheating at night. Many consumers who want the support and form-fitting function of a memory foam mattress are put off by the products just because of reviews that condemn them for being too hot. Modern technology, however, has advanced quickly, allowing manufacturers to create comfortable memory foam mattresses that stay cool all night long.
The Amerisleep Colonial Natural Memory Foam Mattress was designed to create a cool, relaxing sleep environment. With its extreme open cell memory foam and Celliant-infused mattress cover, it outperforms every other cooling mattress on the market.
Memory foam developers were able to create such a revolutionary product with their patented Bio-Pur memory foam. The product is much more breathable than traditional memory foam due to its increase airflow, which also allows your body heat to dissipate much more quickly. Made with plant-based memory foam in a zero emissions facility, it also does not produce the same level of odor that most memory foam mattresses exude.
Memory Foam Composition
Made up of memory foam, the Amerisleep Colonial Natural Memory Foam Mattress offers the cozy, body-cradling comfort that other memory foam mattresses on the market provide. Memory foam mattresses are consistently rated the best among mattress models due to customer comfort and satisfaction. The main complaint offered regarding many mattresses, memory foam or not, is the amount of heat they retain. Typical foam can trap heat and stifle air flow through the night, creating heat and discomfort.
A few types of technology have been developed to remedy the problem, including gel and plant-based foams. Although gel based foam products do absorb the temperature of the room to create an initially cool bed, but it does not remain cool all night. Gel foam also fails to provide breathability, whereas plant based foams succeed. The typical petroleum ingredients in a foam mattress are replaced with plant oils, which do not absorb body heat. The Amerisleep Colonial Natural Memory Foam Mattress uses these plant oils to create an excellent product.
A Cool Night’s Sleep

While the leading Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress is critically reviewed for being too hot by up to 15% of customers who purchase the mattress, less than 5% of buyers said that the Amerisleep Colonial Natural Memory Foam Mattress was hot. Science has proven that the plant based oils help foam products cool 25% faster than typical foam products, ensuring a cooler, more pleasant night’s sleep. Since they are naturally occurring products, they do not hold human heat in as much as gel foam mattresses to, either.
Value
One of the most attractive things about the Amerisleep Colonial Natural Memory Foam Mattress is its value. It costs about a third of the price of the similar Tempur-Pedic projduct and less than the iComfort brand, making it much more affordable. It also comes with a 20 year warranty to back its quality craftsmanship and lasting comfort, protecting consumers from excessive sagging and factory defects. Although similar mattresses on the market do offer slightly longer warranties at 25 years, the warranties are prorated, not offering as much value.
Mattress Smell
Although the off gassing of polyurethane products is completely natural during the first few weeks of mattress ownership, that does not make it any more pleasant to experience. The Amerisleep mattress is known as a low-VOC mattress, with fewer than 5% of customers complaining about its odor. On the contrary, up to 20% of customers mentioned an odor when reviewing their Tempur-Pedic mattress purchases. Up to 10% of iComfort owners also said that their mattresses gave off a foul smell.
Overall Impression
Most purchasers of the Amerisleep mattress rated it with a high level of satisfaction, with an average score of 4.2 out of 5 stars. This is similar to or better than other leading cooling mattresses on the market. Reviewers mentioned that it is similar to other memory foam products that they have owned, like the Tempur-Pedic model, but costs significantly less. They also reported relief from back pain, pressure point issues and overheating at night. Because some buyers said it was plush while others rated it firm, we give the product an A-.
Selecting a Mattress for Staying Cool
When selecting the right cooling mattress, keep the same things in mind as you would with a typical memory foam purchase like density, firmness and softness. Check reviews to see if there are complaints about the mattress seeming too hot as well as the composition of the mattress. Avoid gel mattresses when there are plant based oil mattresses available. Be sure to choose a model with open cell technology to promote the highest level of air circulation possible. Opt for breathable fabrics in your cover, such as cotton or bamboo, to help keep the temperature low.
