As the weather warms across Australia, hot sleepers everywhere start to feel it — tossing, turning and waking up sweaty through the night. Overheating can ruin your rest, but the right mattress for hot sleepers can make a world of difference.
At Sleep Republic, we design mattresses that balance cooling comfort, adaptive support and breathability — so you can sleep comfortably no matter how high the temperature climbs.
What Makes a Mattress Cooling?
Not all mattresses are created equal. Traditional foam models often trap heat, while hybrid mattresses combine open-coil systems with breathable foams for superior airflow.
When choosing a cooling mattress, look for:
-
Gel-infused memory foam to disperse heat
-
Natural latex for breathability
-
Pocket springs to increase airflow
-
Moisture-wicking fabrics such as Tencel or bamboo
-
Minimal partner disturbance for uninterrupted sleep
These materials work together to keep you cool, dry and comfortable all night long.
1. The Sleep Republic Hybrid Mattress
The Sleep Republic Hybrid Mattress is our award-winning all-rounder, perfect for hot sleepers. It blends gel-infused memory foam, natural latex and high-definition pocket springs for contouring comfort with consistent airflow.
The breathable stretch-knit cover helps wick away moisture, keeping your sleep surface cool and fresh — ideal for the spring and summer months. It’s no surprise it’s been rated one of Australia’s best by CHOICE and BedBuyer.
2. Sleep Republic LUXE Mattress
For next-level cooling, the SR Luxe Mattress takes things up a notch. This premium hybrid is wrapped in silver-infused fabric, which naturally helps regulate temperature and resist bacteria.
Inside, layers of natural latex, gel memory foam, and dynamic foam deliver adaptive support while promoting airflow. With seven ergonomic zones, the LUXE ensures that every part of your body — and your temperature — is perfectly balanced.

If you want a cooler night’s sleep on a budget, the Everyday Sleep (ES) Mattress (NOTE: replace link if ES model page differs) offers incredible value.
