Seasonal Comfort: The Secret of Midsummer’s Summer and Winter Sides
A great mattress does more than support the body; it quietly adapts to the seasons so your sleep remains deep and restorative all year. At Midsummer Milano, we design every bed with a dual personality. The summer side feels naturally cool and crisp; the winter side wraps the body in gentle warmth. Together they create a breathable, balanced microclimate that keeps temperature and moisture in check, night after night.
How the summer side keeps you fresh
The summer side is crafted from linen and silk. Linen disperses heat and allows air to circulate freely, so your skin stays dry. Silk adds lightness and a smooth hand feel while remaining naturally hypoallergenic. The result is a surface that feels fresh to the touch: ideal for warm nights and for sleepers who tend to overheat. Explore how we treat noble fibers in Cashmere Couture (our materials philosophy applies across the range), and pair your bed with a breathable summer layer like Top.
Why the winter side feels naturally warm
When the air turns cooler, the winter side comes into play. We use cashmere and fine wool for their unique ability to insulate without trapping moisture. Wool fibers hold tiny pockets of air that retain warmth while wicking humidity away; cashmere enhances softness and provides a comforting, cocoon-like feel. See our full Mattresses collection to choose the construction and firmness that suit your body.
A healthy microclimate for year-round sleep
Seasonal comfort is about more than warmth or coolness. By pairing breathable fibers on both faces with hand-nested pocket springs, the mattress maintains constant airflow. Excess heat and humidity move out; fresh air moves in. This balanced microclimate supports deeper, more continuous sleep. Looking for a complete setup?

Who benefits from a dual-sided mattress
If your bedroom experiences seasonal temperature swings, a two-sided construction is a quiet advantage. Hot sleepers appreciate the linen-and-silk touch in summer. Cold sleepers feel at home on the cashmere-and-wool face in winter. Families with guest rooms gain flexibility without changing bedding. Hospitality spaces benefit from consistent guest comfort across the year. And for anyone seeking a natural mattress with genuine performance, dual-sided design is a smart, sustainable choice.
Care: when and how to switch sides
To keep performance at its best, use the summer side during warmer months and the winter side when temperatures drop. Rotate head-to-foot regularly to even out wear, and flip seasonally to the appropriate face. Because our mattresses are made from natural, resilient fibers over pocket springs, the comfort evolves subtly with you, retaining elasticity and support for years.
Handmade comfort, consciously made
Every Midsummer mattress is built by hand in Italy using natural materials and traditional methods. We avoid synthetic foams and petroleum-based components in favor of breathable fibers that work in harmony with the body. After 15 years, you can return your mattress to our atelier for a complete refresh: fibers are re-carded, the interior is checked, and a new cover is fitted, so your bed begins again with almost no waste. That is luxury designed to last.
