KULKOTE
Your body temperature really affects how well you sleep. At SleepMaker our design team understand choosing the right mattress to suit your body temperature tough, especially if you’re sharing the bed with a partner who sleeps hotter or cooler than you. That’s why we’ve introduced Kulkote, a latest temperature regulating technology that senses weather you’re hot or cold and adjusts accordingly.
Kulkote technology is similar to what’s used in spacesuits to regulate the body temperature of an astronaut. When your skin temperature reaches between 29°C and 33°C, the Kulkote technology activates. Auckland University testing found that in a simulation of someone asleep on the Kulkote mattress, the sleep surface reached 29°C and stayed at this temperature for 22 straight hours. However, on a traditional mattress without Kulkote, the sleep surface reached 35°C and stayed that way – a full six degrees hotter than the mattress using Kulkote.
You may have gone to bed feeling fine but wake up too hot or with night sweats. Struggling to find a cool patch on your mattress or peeling back the covers means sleep can feel elusive. Kulkote is designed to absorb that heat so the mattress stays at an even temperature, helping to stop you waking up feeling too hot.
How it works: Kulkote is designed to absorb that heat so the mattress stays at an even temperature, helping to stop you waking up feeling too hot.
Just because Kulkote can feel cool to the touch, doesn’t mean it will make you feel colder in bed. The technology works on sensing your body temperature and stores energy, ready to release it when you’re too cold
How it works: If your temperature drops, the Kulkote layer will release any stored energy back to the sleep surface.
KülKōte in its simplest form is going to give you a great night’s sleep with the bonus of temperature regulation. Cool to the touch, it's a layer on top of the foam inside your mattress that senses how you sleep - hot or cold.
The benefit: When your skin temperature reaches between 29°C and 33°C, the Kulkote technology activates.
We have the ability to take the Kulkote technology and add one of mother nature’s best known thermal conductors, copper. Added to the Kulkote, the copper inside the layer gives the added benefit of helping to speed up the transfer of heat away from the body to give you a more comfortable sleep.
The benefit: Actively spreads temperature away from your body creating a cooling effect.

Too hot in bed? KülKōte absorbs heat energy and a cooling effect is created. As the heat source is removed, the energy stored within KülKōte is released. If you get too cold in bed, this stored energy pushes back while you sleep, helping to manage your temperature and keep you more comfortable in bed.
