Comparison – Cool Gel vs. Standard Memory Foam
| Feature | Cool Gel Memory Foam | Standard Memory Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature Control | High - Actively dissipates heat | Moderate - Can retain body heat |
| Breathability | Enhanced airflow through gel cells | Denser structure with less airflow |
| Support Feel | Contouring with a "fresher" feel | Soft, deep-sink contouring |
| Responsiveness | Faster recovery time | Slower "cradle" effect |
Who Should Choose a Cool Gel Mattress?
- Hot Sleepers: If you wake up feeling sweaty or overheated, a temperature regulating cool gel mattress is essential for maintaining a steady body temperature.
- Side Sleepers: A cool gel mattress for side sleepers provides the necessary cushioning for shoulders and hips while preventing the heat buildup that often occurs with deep-contouring foams.
- Couples: The motion isolation of gel foam ensures partner disturbance is minimised, while the cooling tech manages the double body heat in the bed.
- Back Pain Sufferers: Our medium firm cool gel mattress options provide the spinal alignment of an orthopaedic bed with the added luxury of a cool-touch surface.
- Allergy Sufferers: Naturally dust-mite resistant and certified safe, these are ideal for those requiring a hypoallergenic sleep solution.

Materials & Construction
- The Support Core: Depending on the model, we use high-density reflex foam or individual pocket springs. This provides the "ortho" foundation needed for healthy spinal alignment.
- The Cool Gel Comfort Layer: Our signature cool blue foam mattress layer is infused with cooling gel particles. These particles act as a heat sink, absorbing excess energy and releasing it through the breathable cell structure.
- The Breathable Cover: Every UK made cool gel mattress is finished with a luxury knitted or micro-quilted cover designed to maximise airflow and enhance the cooling effect of the foam beneath.
- Safety Standards: All materials used are BS7177 fire retardant and OEKO-TEX® certified, ensuring your comfort never comes at the expense of safety.

How to Care for Your Cool Gel Mattress
- Initial Setup: Once delivered, unwrap your rolled mattress in a well-ventilated room. Allow 4-24 hours for the gel layers to fully expand to their correct depth.
- Airing Out: Leave the bed linen off for the first few hours to allow any "new foam" scent to dissipate naturally.
- Rotation Schedule: To ensure even wear, rotate your mattress 180 degrees (head to foot) every two weeks for the first three months, and once a month thereafter.
- Cleaning Instructions: Use a soft, damp cloth for spot cleaning any accidental spills. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the gel-infused foam structure.
- Warranty Maintenance: Use a mattress protector to keep the surface pristine. Ensuring the mattress is used on a supportive, breathable bed base will help maintain your 10-year warranty.
