Waking up drenched in sweat is a nightmare, isn't it? Cooling sheets and a fan in your bedroom can help, but so can your mattress choice. Many mattress brands promise to make you feel more comfy, but few are as affordable — or as well-researched — as Sealy's bed-in-a-box line, Cocoon. The brand has made a name for itself with its Chill Mattress, which comes in both hybrid and memory foam constructions. According to its 6,600+ five-star fans, this pick is the best cooling mattress out there — and right now, you can nab it for a dreamy 35% off thanks to one of the best Presidents' Day mattress sales around.

Cocoon by Sealy
If you sleep warm, the Chill Hybrid might be your key to some solid zzz's: It features ventilated coils for more air flow, plus a cover that promises to help absorb and dissipate heat.
Why is it a good deal? ????
Cocoon by Sealy is already a budget friendly (yet well-reviewed) mattress line, so getting an extra 35% off the retail price for Presidents' Day is like getting to sleep in an extra hour — an amazing bonus. The brand is also throwing in a free Sealy Sleep Bundle, which includes two pillows, a sheet set and a mattress protector. You have to act fast, though: This deal ends tomorrow.
Why do I need this? ????
According to experts, a mattress lasts about seven years, so there's a good chance you're due for an update. We know mattress shopping can be overwhelming — there are so many options — which is why we appreciate a brand like Sealy, which has been around for nearly 150 years. The company tested more than 100 prototypes to develop the Cocoon line.
And just like its name suggests, the Cocoon by Sealy Chill Mattress is packed with cooling features, which can be a game-changer if you sleep warm. The "Perfect Fit" memory foam and ventilated coils are designed to help improve airflow, and the mattress includes a cover infused with a phase change material (PCM) that absorbs heat from your body and then dissipates it. (FYI, other mattress companies use PCM for cooling, so this is not unique to the brand, though Sealy has developed a proprietary version.)
The Chill mattress arrives in a compact box and works with pretty much any bed frame that has a solid surface. You get a 100-day trial to test it out and a 10-year warranty. That's basically the mattress's entire lifespan.
What reviewers say ????
Nearly 7,000 shoppers consider this cooling mattress a dream come true.
Pros ????
"I love this mattress! As an older woman, I have problems sleeping, but from the first night, I slept like a baby. I don't sweat at night either. It's perfect, and I have recommended it to several people," wrote one shopper.
A fellow fan raved, "I was on the hunt for a new mattress for a long time. I am a hot sleeper and so finding a cooling mattress was a top priority. This is hands-down my favorite mattress. It was perfectly in my budget and is in between firm and soft, which is perfect for me. I have had no issues sleeping on it and I have had it for a month and a half now. All my friends love laying down in it and are jealous! If you're thinking about getting it, DO IT!!! You won't regret it."
"So many companies say they have the best mattress to keep you cool at night, and it turns out to only be cool to the touch, but then in 30 minutes, you are tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable and cool," added one initially skeptical customer. "I did not experience this with Cocoon and noticed that it is actually cooler to sleep on this mattress. If you are expecting to feel a chill all night long, then this is not the mattress for you. I don't think one like that exists. However, I have slept better on the Cocoon mattress than any I have had before. I would highly recommend it."
Cons ????
Some reviewers mentioned the mattress was too firm for their liking: "It’s a nice mattress, but if your hip area or shoulders ever hurt, you may find this mattress too firm," wrote one. "Purchased this mattress to replace my old one and is not bad quality for the price . I would prefer a softer mattress, but I am breaking it in," noted another.
A third otherwise satisfied shopper pointed out there's a smell when you first unbox the mattress (sadly, this is common among many brands): "I am slowly adjusted to the firmness and slight odor but happy I bought it."

Looking to spend even less? This all-foam version tops out at under $700 for a queen and has many of the same cooling features as the Chill Hybrid Mattress. It's 10 inches thick (two inches slimmer than the hybrid).
