Generally, no. Nest Bedding mattresses have good to excellent cooling performance, based on our objective and data-driven testing experience (cooling score between 8-9 out of 10).
The one exception is the Nest Bedding Puffin, which is a kids’ mattress, and it received a below-average score.
The models with the best cooling performance are the three hybrid models: the Raven, Sparrow, and Owl.
| Mattresses | Cooling Score Score | Comfort Layer | Mattress Type | Read Review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nest Bedding Puffin | 7.0 | 2.00″ | Kids | Read Review |
| Nest Bedding Raven | 9.0 | 4.00″ | Hybrid | Read Review |
| Nest Bedding Sparrow | 9.0 | 6.00″ | Hybrid | Read Review |
| Nest Bedding Owl | 9.0 | 5.50″ | Latex Hybrid | Read Review |
| Nest Bedding Starling | 8.0 | 5.25″ | Foam | Read Review |
These hybrid mattresses all have the benefit of extra airflow and breathability, due to the pocketed coil unit. The all-foam models, even the most expensive model (the Starling), performed below average.
Another advantage of the Nest Bedding mattresses is the lack of memory foam, which can trap heat and dissipate it more slowly than other materials. The Owl uses latex, while the Sparrow and Raven use poly foam.
Below, you can watch a video of how the heat dissipates on each mattress during our cooling test. For this test, we lie on the mattress for 15 minutes, get off the mattress, and then take periodic surface-level temperature measurements.

It should be noted that no Nest Bedding mattresses earned a 10/10 score, which shows there is room for improvement.
