Ahead of this year’s summer heatwaves, we’re currently retesting a clutch of iconic cooling mattresses to see how they stack up against this year’s newcomers. Among them is the Cocoon by Sealy Chill, down to $349 (was $539) with code COCOON35, and so far it remains one of the best value options we’ve tested.
While the current top-ranking cooling bed in our best mattress of the year guide sits in the luxury price bracket, the Cocoon by Sealy Chill comes in at $597 for a queen. That’s competitive for a memory foam mattress made with heat and sweat-wicking Phase Change Material (PCM is typically found in more expensive mattresses).
Cheaper than other specialist cooling beds
The best cooling mattresses can offer some much-needed relief from night sweats and nighttime awakenings, but the average price of a queen-size cooling bed is $1,407 — a hefty price tag if you’re not in the market for a luxury mattress.
So, at $597 for a queen, the Cocoon by Sealy Chill Mattress is a much more accessible alternative. Especially when you consider the cooling powers it brings, which brings me to my second point…
The cooling tech of the Cocoon by Sealy Chill Mattress stems from the Phase Change Material (PCM) it uses.
PCM absorbs excess body heat when you’re feeling stuffy at night, with research finding that the mattress material lowered skin temperature and improved human heat dissipation by up to 25.6% more than non-cooling beds.
Testers backed up this fact with their verdict: “For anyone seeking a budget all-foam mattress that stays cool all night, this is a strong contender.”
