Sleep Number mattresses have a range of features to help regulate your body temperature while you sleep. The Sleep Number mattress contours closely to your body, which can cause some individuals to sleep warmer due to improved circulation. To combat this, Sleep Number beds use fabrics with high air-flow, gel materials, and layers of ceramic gel to release excess heat. The 360® I8 mattress, for example, uses temperature-regulating technology to pull heat away from your body, keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the night. The DualTemp™ layer also allows you to heat or cool each side of the bed, so you and your partner can both sleep at your ideal temperature.

What You'll Learn
Temperature-balancing technology
Sleep Number's temperature-balancing technology is designed to prevent you from sleeping too hot or too cold. The mattresses in the Innovations Series, including the I8, I10, and I7, are equipped with this technology. Notably, the I8 is the only model that combines temperature regulation with the hugging sensation of memory foam.
The I8 mattress has a 12-inch profile and is constructed from a blend of polyester and polypropylene fabrics, which are known for their softness and breathability. It features a combination of layers with four times more ceramic gel than previous models, which helps dissipate excess body heat for a cooler sleep experience. The mattress also includes high air-flow fabrics and gel materials, contributing to its breathable and cooling properties.
The temperature-balancing feature of the I8 mattress works by pulling heat away from your body, keeping you comfortable throughout the night. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who tend to retain heat while sleeping. Additionally, the mattress offers adjustable comfort and firmness on each side, allowing you to customize your Sleep Number setting according to your preferences.
It is worth noting that the Performance Series mattresses (P5, PSE, and P6) do not include built-in temperature regulation. However, Sleep Number offers additional solutions to enhance your sleep temperature, such as the DualTemp layer, which allows you to heat or cool each side of the bed actively. They also offer True Temp bedding, which adapts to your body temperature by absorbing and releasing heat as needed throughout the night.

The mattress has a “temperature-balancing" surface and is made from a blend of polyester/polypropylene fabrics, which is known for being both soft and breathable. The I8 mattress also includes 4x more ceramic gel to release excess heat for temperature balancing.
Sleep Number's 360 Smart Beds also include "temperature-balancing" features, including high air-flow fabrics and gel materials, meant to make the mattresses feel cooler and more breathable. The Performance Series is slightly plusher than the Classic Series, with the pSE mattress described as "softer and more cooling."
Sleep Number also offers the DualTemp™ layer, which allows you to heat or cool each side of the bed with active air technology. Additionally, they offer True Temp™ bedding, which adapts to your body temperature by absorbing and releasing heat as needed throughout the night.

High air-flow fabrics
One key characteristic of high air-flow fabrics is their lightweight nature. By using fine yarns and a loose weave construction, these fabrics are crafted to be exceptionally light. This lightweight property ensures that the fabric does not weigh down on the sleeper, allowing for unrestricted movement and a comfortable sleeping experience.
Additionally, high air-flow fabrics often incorporate moisture-wicking properties. This feature aids in absorbing and dissipating moisture, such as sweat, keeping the sleeping surface dry and comfortable. The moisture-wicking capability helps prevent the sticky and uncomfortable feeling that can disrupt sleep, particularly for those who tend to sleep hot or experience night sweats.
The fabric's construction also plays a vital role in temperature balancing. The specific weave pattern allows for enhanced airflow, ensuring that heat is not trapped within the fabric. This airflow helps maintain a consistent temperature, preventing overheating during the night. Moreover, the fabric's breathability contributes to better temperature regulation, allowing a continuous flow of air to prevent the fabric and the sleeping surface from becoming uncomfortably warm.

Gel materials
Sleep Number's temperature-balancing technology, available in its 360 Smart Beds series, helps regulate your body temperature while you sleep. The technology is designed to pull heat away from your body, keeping you comfortable throughout the night. This feature is particularly useful for those who tend to get hot and retain heat while sleeping.
The temperature-balancing feature includes gel materials, such as the ceramic gel found in the I8 model, which help dissipate excess heat. The I8 mattress has four times more ceramic gel than other models, providing a cooler and more breathable sleeping surface.
The gel materials work in combination with other layers in the mattress to provide a comfortable and supportive sleeping experience. The highly supportive layers conform to your body, relieving pressure points, while the plush layers add extra comfort.
Additionally, the temperature-balancing technology in the Sleep Number 360 Smart Beds series allows for personalized comfort and firmness settings on each side of the bed. The bed automatically adjusts the firmness based on your movements, ensuring a comfortable and supportive sleep throughout the night.

True Temp™ bedding
Sleep Number's temperature-balancing technology is designed to pull heat away from your body, which is especially beneficial for those who tend to get hot and retain heat throughout the night. The bedding is made from a blend of polyester and polypropylene fabrics, known for being soft and breathable.
The Sleep Number mattress contours closely to your body, which means your body is in contact with more of the mattress than with traditional innerspring mattresses. This reduces pressure points, allowing for improved circulation. Improved circulation, along with more overall support, may cause some individuals to sleep warmer. However, the bedding's temperature-balancing features, including high air-flow fabrics and gel materials, help to counteract this, making the mattress feel cooler and more breathable.
The True Temp™ bedding is just one of Sleep Number's temperature-balancing solutions. The DualTemp™ layer, for example, allows you to heat or cool each side of the bed with active air technology, so you and your partner can both sleep at your ideal temperature.
