Memory Foam Mattress: Unlike innerspring mattresses, memory foam mattresses are composed of polyurethane foam that provides the support system. Your body contours more in this type of mattress due to the high density foam layers.

Shop Pillows & CoversGet free estimates from qualified pros Get free quotes » It's mid-summer and we've had some hot, humid nights here in New York City. The heat broke last week, but most probably we're in for another heat wave before the summer is through. Some folks don't have air conditioners, whether it is because they object to Freon for environmental reasons, or because of the cost of installing an air conditioner, or because their landlords prohibit air conditioners. I am sorry to hear that. There are ways to have a tolerable night's sleep without air conditioning in one's bedroom.
Sleep on a cooler mattressFirst of all, foam mattresses and foam mattress toppers are super insulating. They retain heat like nobody's business. If you have a foam mattress or a foam mattress topper, including memory foam, ditch it for the summer and replace it with a regular mattress or a cotton futon mattress.Sleep above your sheetsEven cotton sheets provide a layer of insulation. On super hot nights, sleep just on a bottom sheet. Sleeping without a cover takes some getting used to, but it allows heat to rise off of your body rather than getting caught in between the sheets.Use cotton sheets on your bedCrisp, cool cotton sheets are the best choice for hot summer nights. Avoid flannel, satin, or synthetic blend sheets when the temperature is in the 90's. Good old cotton broadcloth sheets breathe. They allow sweat to evaporate off of your body easily.The Chillow: A cooling pillowLifehacker suggests the Chillow, a cooling pillow. Reviews of the Chillow on Amazon are mixed, but the endorsement from Lifehacker is promising.
The chillow cools your head to promote falling asleep faster.Try sleeping on a hammockIt might sound eccentric if not downright crazy, but sleeping on a hammock is cooler than in a bed. Air circulates under the hammock, and a hammock lacks the layer of insulation that mattresses provide. Big Mayan-style hammocks are the most comfortable (as safe) to sleep in.Keep the air moving in your roomIf you lack an air conditioner, at least use a fan. One fan in the window facing out and one fan across the room facing in will move air through your room. Opinions vary on whether this method actually pulls hot air out of your room or not. Putting one fan in the window facing out will not do the job. You need to create a cross breeze.Buy yourself an air conditionerNot to be culturally insensitive, but it doesn't cost that much to buy a window air conditioner. By the time you get your cotton sheets and your two fans and your new mattress and your Chillow, you might as well have bought a small air conditioner for your bedroom.
