Question 🙋🏻 I want to know how does a cooling mattress work? Does it really “cool”?

[EveningRevision]

As the title says. I’ve been considering buying a cooling mattress, but before I make the investment, I wanted to hear from those of you who have experience with them. How exactly do they work? Are they actually effective at regulating temperature throughout the night, or is it mostly a marketing gimmick?
From what I’ve read, some use gel-infused foam, others have phase change materials, and some even have built-in cooling systems or airflow designs. But I’m curious about real-world experience or do you actually feel cooler and does it last through the night?

If you’ve used one, did it noticeably improve your sleep quality, or was it not worth the price? Also, any recommendations on specific brands or types?

I have a memory foam mattress with cooling gel, and it does help a bit. It doesn’t really feel “cold”, but I don’t wake up all sweaty like I used to

I tried one with phase change material. It felt cool at first but honestly that didn’t last all night. I ended up buying a cooling mattress pad with a fan and that made more of a difference
