You can have comfortable bedroom with NASA technology that control temperature of mattresses. A good night’s sleep can often be an elusive achievement, but NASA technologies have helped people rest better for decades, from memory foam mattresses to LED lights that help regulate circadian rhythms. Now a material originally tested for spacesuits is keeping the night sweats away.

Comfortable Bedroom With NASA

In the 1980s, NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston was exploring ways to improve temperature controls in spacesuits. With temperature swings between extremes of minus 250 to 250°F, astronauts need to have effective air conditioning when working outside their spacecraft.

Phase-change materials take advantage of the fact that substances maintain a steady temperature while turning from liquid to solid or vice-versa. By incorporating these materials into tiny capsules in the textile, called “thermocules,” the company theorized it could make liners that would stay comfortable while external temperatures fluctuated.
