Do latex mattresses retain body heat?
| I am aware of that the memory foam mattresses retain body heat, but can't find opinions on this topic for latex mattresses? My husband tends to be very warm when others are not due to a nerve injury in his back. When we were trying out latex mattresses, to me the latex mattress seemed to do this somewhat. |

| I do seem to sleep slightly warmer on latex than I did on my old innerspring but its barely noticable. This is a Flobed w/ a PAB cover over it followed by 300tc cotton sateen sheets. I definitely don't think it sleeps hot at all, but again, mildly warmer than my old innerspring. |
Re: Do latex mattresses retain body heat?
| I don't know if latex retains body heat, but some I laid on did seem to warm my back. They weren't covered in natural materials, like wool, cotton or cashmere, so I figured that had something to do with it. |
Re: Do latex mattresses retain body heat?
| I agree with D3FI, that my latex mattress from FloBeds sleeps only slightly warmer than my conventional spring mattress did but barely noticeable. I also sleep with 300 TC sateen sheets and sometimes 400 TC sateen sheets. I have always slept with a latex pillow all of my life and I do not feel it sleeps warm but maybe it does slighly more than some other materials. |
