The truth about the winter side of your mattress

As the cold weather approaches, are you dreading the idea of flipping your mattress? Just like with clothing, many everyday products require a seasonal switch, including mattresses designed with two sides to suit different times of the year. But does the concept of a winter and summer side for a mattress still hold true? And more importantly, is it useful?

Origins of the Mattress Side Distinction

The distinction between the winter and summer sides of a mattress dates back to the early days of spring mattresses in 1929. Initially, mattresses featured a wool side for winter, providing extra warmth and padding, and a cotton side for summer, offering more breathable properties. These differing materials not only catered to seasonal temperature changes but also encouraged consumers to flip their mattresses at least twice a year to maintain their structure and promote air circulation.

Do Winter and Summer Sides Still Exist?

While the concept hasn’t entirely disappeared, modern mattress design has evolved, making this distinction less crucial. Today's advanced materials optimize heat management through key features:

Breathability: Enhances airflow between the interior and exterior of the mattress.

Thermoregulation: Maintains consistent temperature and humidity levels to support an ideal sleep environment.

These features are made possible by the breathable fibers used in the mattress cover, which aid in air circulation and moisture dispersion from the body, ensuring a comfortable sleep temperature year-round.

Choosing a Mattress for Perfect Thermoregulation

When looking for a mattress that effectively manages body temperature, it's essential to ensure it provides both freshness and hygiene. Veradea mattresses incorporate several key features for perfect thermoregulation:

Memory Gel Layer: A 4 cm layer, directly in contact with the body. Unlike traditional memory foam, memory gel does not generate heat and helps the body maintain an ideal sleeping temperature.

Breathable Fiber Cover: Facilitates air circulation and moisture dispersion from the body.

With Veradea, you don't need a separate winter side of the mattress; instead, you get a single, versatile surface perfect for all seasons. The cover is also elastic and fully removable, allowing for easy cleaning to maintain hygiene. However, it’s recommended to dry clean the cover to avoid damaging the memory gel layer.
