A cooling mattress

What is a cooling mattress?

A cooling mattress is designed to actively wick away heat and moisture, thereby maintaining a consistent sleeping temperature. Bröring’s mattresses combine highly breathable, natural materials with high-quality pocket springs for ergonomic support. The FreshBed systems hold a special place in our collection, as they not only provide ventilation but also continuously and precisely regulate the climate in your bed.

What makes this system unique is that the mattress is actively ventilated. You set the desired temperature yourself, after which a quiet airflow keeps the mattress fresh and dry at all times. This creates a personalized microclimate with a constant temperature and humidity level. The circulating air is also filtered through a medical-grade HEPA filter, which actively removes dust particles, pollen, and other allergens.

Why choose a cooling mattress?

To get deep, restorative sleep, the body must first cool down. This is a natural process. A standard mattress often traps heat and moisture, disrupting this cooling mechanism. The result: restless sleep, night sweats, and waking up more frequently.

A cooling mattress from Bröring actively works with your body. A quiet, constant airflow draws heat and moisture away from under the covers, all night long. The mattress regulates your personal microclimate, so you won’t wake up startled by the heat, but will remain in that deep sleep phase where recovery takes place. Because the mattress stays bone-dry, dust mites and mold don’t stand a chance. 

Benefits of a cooling mattress

A stable sleeping temperature has a direct effect on your body. For back pain and lumbago, a cooling mattress helps prevent muscle cramps. Muscles relax more effectively when they don’t have to constantly react to temperature fluctuations, allowing your back to truly rest. Your circulation benefits as well: the right temperature setting relieves the feeling of heavy legs and promotes even blood flow.

In addition, a cooling mattress is suitable for all seasons. In the winter, the system can comfortably preheat the bed, preventing cold hands and feet. Your body doesn’t have to fight against the cold or heat, but immediately enters a state of relaxation. That’s the difference between “sleeping” and truly recovering.

Find the perfect sleeping temperature with Bröring

At Bröring, you take control of your sleep environment together with our sleep experts. With the FreshBed system, you have a solution that regulates the bed’s temperature down to the exact degree. No more arguments about one side being too hot or too cold, because each side of the bed can be adjusted separately. The mattress does the work, so your body can relax immediately.

In addition to the mattress, we also consider the rest of your bedroom. For example, we advise on the best time to ventilate: keep windows closed during the day when it’s hot and ventilate effectively in the evening. The use of natural materials, such as cotton or linen bedding, also supports the mattress’s performance because these fabrics breathe well. Blackout curtains also play a role; by keeping sunlight out during the day, the room’s base temperature remains lower.

At Bröring, we look beyond just the bed. We consider the entire room and the sleeper to help you achieve your ideal sleeping temperature. Want to learn more? Check out more tips on sleep temperature and sleep climate.

Cooling mattresses, pillows, and comforters

A cooling mattress works best when paired with the right accessories. Consider pillows made of cooling materials that quickly wick away heat, or duvets made of cotton or linen that feel light and breathe well. A breathable molton also contributes to a fresh sleeping environment. At Bröring, you’ll find a carefully curated collection that complements each other and together ensures a cool, comfortable bed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cooling Mattresses

What is the difference between a cooling mattress and a mattress with active cooling?

A standard cooling mattress uses passive materials, such as gel or breathable foam, that temporarily absorb heat. A mattress with active cooling, such as the FreshBed system, uses a continuous airflow to actively wick away heat and moisture. This effect remains constant throughout the night, whereas passive materials tend to warm up over time.

Does a cooling mattress help with night sweats?

Yes. Night sweats often occur when the body cannot release heat. An active cooling mattress regulates the microclimate under the covers and wicks moisture away immediately. This means the perspiration reflex is triggered less quickly, and the sheets and mattress stay dry and fresh all night long.

Is a cooling mattress also comfortable in the winter?

Absolutely. Bröring’s cooling mattresses function as complete climate control systems. In the winter, they can actually provide pleasant warmth. You’ll never get into a cold bed, cold feet are prevented, and muscles relax more quickly. This is especially important for conditions such as back pain, rheumatism, or stiff joints.

What is the best sleep system for people with allergies?

For people with allergies, a sleep system with active ventilation is the best choice. Dust mites can only survive when humidity exceeds 50%. The constant airflow in our cooling mattresses keeps humidity low and the mattress dry. The built-in HEPA filter also purifies the air of pollen and dust particles.

Can the temperature be set separately for each side of the bed?

Yes. With Bröring’s active climate control systems, you can adjust the temperature separately on each side of the bed. This way, one partner can stay cool while the other side remains comfortably warm. No one has to compromise on sleep comfort.
