I was also sleeping hot and made some significant changes to my bed. I love my memory mattress just for the comfort. So, I bought a wool mattress topper, cotton percale sheets, a silk duvet and use either a cotton or cotton/linen duvet cover. We also have a wool duvet that my husband seems to like more than the silk but doesn’t really care. I truly believe that using natural instead of synthetic materials has made a huge difference.

Hey fellow furnaces of the night! I'm on the hunt for a legit cooling comforter that won't turn into a sweat trap by 2 AM. I've narrowed it down to two options but could use real-user experiences before pulling the trigger.

Option 1: Bedsure Cooling Comforter

  • Claims to use "3D airflow technology"

  • Bamboo-derived rayon cover

  • Medium weight (good for year-round use?)

Option 2: Evercool Comforter

  • Specifically markets to menopausal women (I'm not one, but if it works...)

  • "Phase-change" cooling fibers

  • Lightweight design

About me:

  • Sleep HOT (like, wake-up-drenched hot)

  • Mostly a side sleeper

  • Prefer something that doesn't feel plasticky

  • Need machine-washable

Anyone out there a hot sleeper that still gets a little cold/likes to be cozy in bed?? Because that’s me!!

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno, it is what it is haha I just want to be cozy and stop sweating lol

I’m usually a little cold until I fall asleep (I prefer to sleep at 69F/20C), at which point, I start giving off a lot of body heat! My partner is also a hot sleeper!

I’d prefer a natural material over synthetics, if possible! I also like the weight of a heavier duvet, I just get so dang hot! I also currently have a linen duvet cover, if that makes a difference.

Would love to hear any recommendations!!

Hey everyone, I need some help! I tend to overheat at night, especially during the summer, and my current comforter just isn’t cutting it. I wake up feeling sweaty and uncomfortable, and I’m looking for a lightweight, breathable comforter that actually stays cool. There are so many options out there—bamboo, cotton, down alternative, moisture-wicking fabrics—it's honestly overwhelming. What materials or specific brands have worked best for you?

While searching online, I came across this post that lists some of the top-rated summer comforters. It seems like a good starting point, but I’d love to hear real experiences from people who have actually used them. Any insights would be super helpful!

My partner and I run very hot at night and can’t seem to find the right comforter. We live in a pretty warm area year round and don’t have A/C or a heater. Our biggest problem is we want something light and fluffy thats soft on your skin, and gives you that ‘hotel cloud comforter’ type feeling, but can also keep us cool in the summers and warmer in the winters. It seems like a lot of the temperature regulating ones are thinner and not always as cozy as you want them to be? I’ve heard of trying a wool one as those seem to be the best for temp, but I’m worried we would get too hot especially in the summers. Appreciate any and all suggestions!!

So my partner and I are both hot sleepers, him more so than I. In fact, he might be a furnace in human form.

Our mattress is a queen sized 10 inch memory foam from Zinus. It’s comfortable, we have no complaints. We have tried a few different materials for sheets, the top ones being a 400 thread count from target, 800 thread count from Costco, and a flannel type set of unknown origins.

It gets pretty hot when we sleep, but I’m a tropical being and love the warmth. Poor partner, however, gets so hot that he sweats through the sheets and then wakes up because he’s lying in a wet patch essentially. Moving out of it means moving closer to me and that makes the heat problem worse! We also end up having to do laundry pretty frequently, but that’s not a problem.

What can we do or buy to sleep a little cooler? We don’t want to spend too much monies on it because our current room only allows a queen, and we’d like to be in a king eventually.

Please share some tips on what possible mattress upgrade, sheet set, etc we can invest in that’ll improve our sleeping experience.

Gracias amigos!

The number one thing you should do if you are struggling with heat is change your mattress. Memory foam holds a TON of heat, it’s notorious for exactly what you’re describing. Flannel is also a material intended for cold weather use, it will keep you v warm

When I became a grandmother I also was going through menopause. I had showered the new family with luscious blankets I could never afford with my kids, because GRANDMA. I quickly fell absolutely in love with the muslin blankets and swaddlers he had. In the summer, when I was warm and sticky, and the last think I needed was a warm bundle of skin pressed up against my skin, that light layer between us wicked away moisture and kept me cool. It also kept the cool air of the airconditioner off of my skin. (I have a chronic pain condition and cold hurts) When my husband and I moved to Missouri, and I was living in hot humidity for the first time in my life, I was miserable. That was when I discovered I could get adult size muslin blankets on Amazon for quite reasonably. I first got a twin size to use on the couch. I quickly added a king size blanket for the bed. You can choose how many layers of muslin you get. I like 2 in the summer. We sleep with only the blanket. No top sheet. Because my spouse and I sleep at different temperatures, we sleep with separate covers on the bed half of the year anyway. (That is a common way to sleep in Scandanavian countries.) He currently has a duvet in a duvet cover. I currently sleep under the large blanket folded in half. (Which gives me 4 layers). This seems to be pretty ideal for the in-between seasons here. Changing up our bedding, feeling able to ditch the top sheet (which I grew up with as essential) and giving up making the bed with one traditional matching bedspread or comforter really has helped us BOTH sleep better. We also snuggle more, since I am less likely to be overwhelminly warm.

My partner and I live in an oven of an apartment and we can’t afford the light bill anymore to blast the A.C., so we need to upgrade and invest in a sleeping system that can keep us cool through the night.

We currently have cotton and polyester blend sheets and are looking to change them and our duvet as well.

I keep seeing that silk sheets are recommended for hot sleepers but I don’t know which brand is the best to keep us cool and that doesn’t fall apart after a few washes.

I’m also not sure which direction to go in with the duvet. On one hand I like how comfy really soft duvets are but I also wouldn’t mind something with more weight to it since we both have anxiety. Either way we need something that won’t trap heat. Help please!

Take the duvet off the bed and just use sheets in the summer. There's no such thing as a not hot duvet, that's the point of the duvet. It might take a few tries to get used to it but I promise you a human being can sleep just fine under only a sheet. Air is the insulator, not the material the sheet or duvet is made out of. Materials that trap air within them give a layer of insulation that is proportional to how much air they trap. A thick ass duvet is going to make you hot, doesn't matter if it's coated in silk or cotton. Down is hot because the little feather fluffs are evolutionarily designed to trap as much air as possible with as little material as possible. It's not intrinsic to the materials feathers are made of. Silk can be just as hot as cotton if the weave is tight and the threads are as heavy, but usually it's a looser weave of thinner threads. If you want more weight on top of you (I hate it but whatever) just get a weighted blanket. You can't have a big fluffy duvet on top of you and be cool. That's just thermodynamics.

No suggestions because I am going through the same being extremely hot in my husband and I’s bed. I posted something similar a couple weeks back and got these suggestions: using a quilt instead of a duvet, regardless of if you get a silk duvet (many people said you can still get hot) bamboo sheets bed jet system getting away from polyester made mattress and/or memory foam Hope this helps! Also commenting so I can see suggestions made!

After posting a few months ago about upgrading my sheets, I ended up going with Cultiver linen and absolutely love my duvet cover and sheet set. With temps on the rise, I am looking to add a lightweight duvet to my bed and am looking for recommendations. So far it seems the lightweight duvets are polyfill with a cotton shell. I am currently looking at the West Elm Cooling Duvet but am open to all first-hand experiences and recommendations.

I'm looking for something more cooling, as I get so warm at night. My room is the warmest in the house and I've tested it several degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the living room. I have the vent blowing but it doesn't work well.

Well I have a cotton comforter but it's a bit thick and I'm thinking to swap it out. Every brand I look into seems to have pros and then there is one or several comments with major cons. Here is what I've looked into so far.

Peru Pima: This one flew under the radar and I wasn't able to find much online but the people who had them did love them. I found a few comments saying they lost their softness after a wash and began to pill.

Rest Evercool: This one has tons of controversy, not being cooling, customer service, pilling, etc. At a glance it looks perfect but I'm not inclined to buy based on price and complaints.

Aeptom Eucalyptus Lyocell Comforter: An option I found after some digging but doesn't have much to back it up.

Sijo Clima TempTune Comforter: This comforter seems to fit the bill but there are complaints of returning and customer service being a nightmare.

And then there's a lot of opinions and reviews saying bamboo, but bamboo is really rayon and bad for you, cotton is the way to go, but then that rabbit hole goes deep too :P

Having to weed out who actually enjoys their comforter, and who is a paid ad, damn! What a world we live in. I feel bad for those who are less internet-savvy.

Can anyone recommend a cooling comforter or blanket that is high quality and not super thick? (if it's thick but cooling that's fine [I'm looking for something to keep me cool]).

TLDR: I can't find a good cooling comforter. Can anyone recommend or do you have any reviews based on the brands I mentioned?

I often wake up covered in sweating, despite sleeping with the window open.

With Spring/Summer around the corner, I want some new sheets that will help with breathability.

Linen. Idk if it’s inexpensive to you but it’s absolutely worth it. You can try all you want and go thru a bunch of “inexpensive” fabrics, products, and marketing claims about things being made for hot sleepers but you’ll keep buying and trying more. Linen has been the only thing that has worked for me after endless trials. Don’t be me. Just buy into the fact the linen is the most temp neutral material and accept the old adage “you get what you pay for” It honestly probably is the least expensive too because of the durability (if taken care of) and will last years. I have all linen bedding and use a lightweight linen quilt with wool filling from Casper and use it year round. I live in Minnesota so it goes from -20 to 100 degrees here. Winter has some nights that I need a knit blanket

As mielnik21 says, linen itself is the best fabric for bed sheets as far as breathability goes. It stays feeling clean and fresh too, night after night. It has a temperature regulating effect so it doesn't feel cold the way cotton sheets do, but it just doesn't get hot either. When I discovered it, I replaced all my bedding. I love it. Cotton is rated by thread count and weave, with high thread counts giving a superior cotton with a very smooth finish (depending on weave). However, a high thread count also gives a tight knit layer that holds warm air and moisture in the bed, which isn't good. Linen is much more absorbent than cotton, and it's not so tightly woven. Moisture is absorbed and warm air is allowed to circulate. Linen is rated by weight - grams per square metre (gsm) - not thread count. The weight tells you how thick the threads are. A low weight means a thinner fabric. Good linen sheets are between 165 gsm and 190 gsm. I have some that are 165-170 gsm and they are light and lovely, and I have some that are 180 gsm. They are slightly heavier but not hot. Linen can be expensive, but good linen is worth it. Cheap linen can be scratchy, and while it should soften with time and wear, it's scratchy until it does soften. At the moment Ikea has 100% linen sheets and duvet covers for an excellent price. They're probably a good place to start unless you've got lots of money to spend on bedding. Bamboo is basically rayon. It's not cool. Possibly a duvet is too warm and heavy for you at this time of year. I don't know what the average temperature is where you live but if you're waking up sweaty when the weather's not hot either your bed covers are too warm for the season, or you could have a health problem that causes night sweats. If it's just hot weather, buy linen sheets.

May 28, 2019 -

Again, just to be clear; I'm planning on trying to fix this from the mattress/sheets/pillow up as you guys may recall from my last post, but just in case..

What's a good not too expensive comforter or blanket for someone having night sweats or is just a hot sleeper? Like to keep it to 100 bucks or less, and I live in GA/east of Atlanta. I'll hate to see that walmart special I got for the dorm go but if I have to fix that before I get my sleep study to find out if I got sleep apnea, I have to. (Seriously, it's had a good run. 15+ years without the stuffing clumping up or it ripping up is a good run!)

Oh and no dry clean only. It has to be washable, even if I have to go to a laundromat for a oversized washer. Seriously, dry cleaning is a expense I'd rather not pay.

Have a cotton blanket right now but was having trouble last night (Well, new year's so I guess can't say much?) but hoping that relief money gets here soon so I can start my plans and quit having trouble. I am kinda planning on layering if necessary to get that Goldilocks feel that I really really want here.

The dreaded time is on the horizon.... summer! 🫠

I have tried expensive bamboo Rayyon sheets. I have tried 300 count sateen weave cotton and I woke up drenched like someone threw a bucket of water on me.

I need the absolute coldest sheets known to man! Something where I won't cook to death while sleeping. Is 100% cotton really the best way to go? Because the cotton sheets I tried didn't help and stayed damp for hours.

Do I also have to replace my mattress pad with something else to help? Right now it's just a thin style of mattress pad, nothing big or thick. Any advice is greatly appreciated to help me survive the approaching hell!
