The geltex mattresses offer optimal support, with the flexible gel foam evenly distributing your body weight over the surface of the mattress and moulding perfectly to your contours to relieve pressure points. The open cell structure means that air is able to circulate easily, making the mattress extremely breathable and allowing you to stay cool and comfortable throughout the night.

Silentnight Geltex is an innovative new material that combines gel molecules, foam crystals and air cells to create an unparalleled sleeping experience.

Here, we’re going to take a closer look at what a Geltex mattress is, what it’s supposed to do for you, and the benefits it might have compared to some of the other offerings on the market.

How to choose the best Geltex Mattresses?

What is Geltex Mattress?

A Geltex mattress brings a combination of gel and a foam mattress that is designed to offer cushioning and comfort while meeting the needs of the body, providing the support that the contact points of the body need. The material inside Geltex is a new and proprietary mixture of elastic gel and air-permeable foam that has been designed to bring comfort to those who might have trouble sleeping with traditional offerings in either foam or gel mattresses.

The Geltex foam uses an open cell structure to offer the fit of high-quality modern foam beds but the gel ensures that even as the best changes shape to match the sleeper’s body, it offers a little extra support and reliability. The Sealy Sark Geltex 1000 Pocket Sprung Mattress is a great example of this.

What does it do differently?

The aim of Geltex, as with many modern materials, is to improve on foam mattresses by focusing on its weaknesses. As such, it takes steps to address the breathability issue, to support the contact points of the body to offer pressure relief, and to fit different sleeping systems by supporting the body with form-fitting gel.

For those who like the reliability of foam but don’t want the sinking feeling that comes with lying on them, Geltex offers a sturdier but just as malleable solution. Geltex is also built to better disperse heat more quickly, allowing you to have a cool night in peace, according to many customers.

What are its advantages?

There are many people who like a foam mattress just fine, but Geltex mattress is designed to excel in a few of the areas where foam mattresses might fail some of their customers. As such, here are some of the benefits of Geltex:
  • Better heat dispersal can better suit the needs of hot sleepers
  • Increased breathability to avoid stifling sleeps
  • Faster re-shaping response times to changes in body type and sleeping posture
  • Better returns to its original shape than many foam mattresses
  • Emulates the comfortable feel of latex very well
As such, if you like the way that a foam mattress can better fit your body, but you don’t want to have to fight it to get it to fit you in different sleeping positions, a Geltex mattress might be what you need.
