Airflow Dynamics: Why Hybrid Mattresses Outperform Foam in Cooling

We generate heat constantly. A sleeping human acts like a 100-watt heater. If your mattress is an insulator, that thermal energy has nowhere to go but back into your body, triggering night sweats and disrupting deep REM cycles.

While many manufacturers market “Cooling Gels” as the ultimate solution, thermodynamics tells a different story. Conductive cooling (gels) is temporary; Convective Cooling (airflow) is sustainable. This is where the hybrid architecture of the Teoanns Queen Size Mattress demonstrates a clear physical advantage over its all-foam competitors.

The “Bellows Effect”: How Your Mattress Breathes

The most underrated feature of a hybrid mattress is its empty space.

Statement: An all-foam mattress is a solid block of polyurethane. It is dense, heavy, and structurally closed. Air cannot easily pass through it.
Mechanism: The Teoanns hybrid features a base layer of pocketed coils. Inside each fabric pocket, and between the rows of springs, there is a significant volume of air.
Scenario: Every time you move—shift your hips, roll over, or sit up—you compress these springs.
Evidence: This compression forces the air inside the mattress structure out through the side panels (aided by the “Airy mesh” design). When you release the pressure, the springs recoil, drawing fresh, cooler room air back into the core. Engineers call this the “Bellows Effect.” Your natural movements turn the mattress into a low-speed air pump, constantly cycling the thermal environment.

The Limits of “Cooling Gel”

The Teoanns specifications mention a “breathable gel layer.” It is important to understand what this does—and what it doesn’t do.

Nuance: Gel particles function by increasing the Thermal Conductivity of the foam. They act like tiny heat sinks, pulling heat away from your skin faster than plain foam.
Contrarian Insight: However, heat sinks eventually saturate. Once the gel warms up to your body temperature, its cooling effect stops—unless that heat can be moved away.
Mechanism: This is why the hybrid base is critical. The gel layer absorbs the heat from your body, and the airflow from the coil layer below helps dissipate that heat out of the mattress. Without the coil base (the airflow engine), the gel layer would eventually become a heat trap. The Teoanns system works because it couples Absorption (Gel) with Dissipation (Coils).

Material Permeability: The Knit Cover

Thermoregulation starts at the surface. The Teoanns utilizes a “dual-layered soft knitted fabric.”

Statement: Woven fabrics are generally more breathable than non-wovens or damask covers often found on budget mattresses.
Evidence: Knitted structures have loop gaps that allow moisture vapor to escape.
Scenario: This is vital for Evaporative Cooling. If sweat stays on your skin, you feel clammy and hot. If moisture vapor can pass through the sheets and the mattress cover, your body can cool itself naturally.
Advice: To maximize this feature, do not use a thick, plastic-backed mattress protector. That would seal off the system. Use a breathable, membrane-style protector to allow the Teoanns’ airflow engineering to function.

Conclusion: Physics Over Marketing

If you are a hot sleeper, physics suggests that a hybrid structure will almost always serve you better than a dense foam block. The Teoanns Queen Size Mattress leverages the natural volume of its spring core to facilitate airflow. It doesn’t rely solely on chemical additives to keep you cool; it relies on the fundamental laws of fluid dynamics. It breathes because it is built to breathe.
