First, thank you all for your advice on my silk duvet insert.

I’m in Florida and it’s always hot and humid. I asked about duvet or comforter ideas, and this sub was incredible! I was able to purchase a great silk insert during Amazon Prime day.

As I’ve gotten older, I have made my home my happy place. My bed is very important to me. Not only because I suffer from insomnia AND menopause, so when I do sleep, I want to sleep well and as cool as possible. The first thing I do when I wake up is make my bed. I change my sheets twice a week. I love my bed. ❤️

So on Monday washed my duvet cover, and normally I’m a maniac about getting the bed put back together, but I was started getting busy with work and I didn’t do it. When it was time for bed, I just had my fitted sheet, flat sheet, and duvet (no cover).

Well holy smokes I slept better! I didn’t realize how heavy the duvet cover is. I started thinking about how on cruise ships they pretty much use two flat sheets as the duvet cover. Not gonna lie, I’m kind of tempted to do it, because my duvet cover is HOT 🥵 And it’s starting to heat up down here. Do y’all have any suggestions for a really light and possibly cooling duvet cover recommendations?

Again thank you for the silk suggestion! Great investment.

Looking for duvet covers that are breathable, good for summer and soft. Any recommendations?

I prefer to sleep under a comforter all the time but just sweet constantly. Went out and bought a lightweight brooklinen comforter to try, was looking for recommendations on what would be a good duvet cover would be best to keep as cool as possible.

I have the thx silk duvet spring fall weight and it's just slightly too hot. It makes my feet a little sweaty and then sticks to the sheets. I have a cotton duvet cover that is sateen which I hear is not cooling. Bamboo seems like the best option for being soft and cooling. Would a percale cover be as soft and cooling? There seems to be concern about bamboos longevity what are the best brands? Linen seems nice and cool but I don't think I would like the texture and silk is too expensive.

I use a LL Bean percale duvet cover over a Feathered Friends down comfort, and it is LOUD! I sleep hot and roll/move around a lot. Does anyone have suggestions for a quieter and cooler material that is not plastic or synthetic?

Research so far suggests sateen, silk, and bamboo (but I've read bamboo is mostly plastic).

Thank you!

I have always slept hot, and now I'm at that certain age in a woman's life ....

I've tried "cooling" mattress pads and those always get hot. I've not tried cooling sheets yet because I don't use a flat sheet. I'd love to save on the A/C bill this summer if anyone has had any success with a lightweight cooling comforter.

Hello, I’m in need of a new duvet/blanket. I don’t care how much it costs as long as it’s worth it. Trying to find something that is thick and kind of heavy but has to be soft. The other issue is I run hot! I’m worried about over heating but I love being cozy under thick blankets!! I know this is a big ask! I’m looking for a queen size and prefer blankets that are naturally heavy and not weighted. Machine washable would be an amazing plus! Thank you!!!

Someone gave me a beautiful and extremely fluffy down duvet before the winter began this year and I’ve become spoiled by its pillowy, cloud-like feeling. But as the days get warmer, it’s beginning to get uncomfortably hot at night. Is it possible to find a thick and fluffy summer duvet that will stay somewhat cool? I did some light research at the mall but all the cool duvets I found were disappointingly flat. If you have any tips for me, I’d appreciate them!

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.

Hey everyone.

I recently bought a new duvet cover (cotton percale) and the lightest down comforter I could find. Despite keeping the room at 64 degrees at night, I'm still hot.

What material would you guys recommend for a hot sleeper like me? Cotton insert? Something else?

If you have any specific products in mind, all I want is a king-sized insert that has loops on the corners so I can tie the insert to the drawstrings that are built into the duvet cover.

Thanks you!

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who responded. I appreciate all the good suggestions. I ended up buying the Your Moon wool blanket. Checked all the boxes of what I was looking for: All natural materials, corner loops, lightweight will still having some heft, and very reasonably priced.

Used it last night for the for the first time and couldn't have been happoer. It was perfect.

Definitely recommend it for other hot sleepers.

Only really want a duvet, not comforters etc, because i like how the pockets of the duvet are a little clumpy with lots of air pockets and such.

But ya, basically just looking for a super big queen duvet that is cool, not super warm like a lot of the thick duvets are.

Please help.

I’m very sensitive to temperature and weight changes of duvet (probably some big sensory issue linked to something undiagnosed!) and I’ve invested in really nice fitted sheets and a Tencell top sheet to help on hotter nights. My next thing would be to start looking at duvets. I’m not sure whether I’m meant to be looking more at the material of the duvet cover, the duvet filling itself or both. So far, I’ve been looking at the usual: Wool - https://www.dunelm.com/product/fogarty-unbleached-wool-duvet-1000193884?defaultSkuId=30739641

Any suggestions?

Hi!

I am looking for the best, cooling, light and crisp duvet cover and something that feels just cozy at the same time… any recommendations???

I currently have the Parachute all season down duvet insert with the West Elm Silky Tencel duvet cover. I live in Texas and my second floor gets incredibly hot. I wake up drenched in sweat every night. Any recommendations on a different duvet insert?! Thanks!

I’m getting a duvet for Christmas and I’m struggling with finding the best one for not a billion dollars. I want one that’s down, but cooling, and with a good medium weight to it. What’s a good brand that will last a good while and won’t break the bank?

I have the duvet cover and I have the sheets, both high thread count real cotton that I spent a pretty penny on, but 4 years with them and I never want another set of bedding. I live in a hot climate, so I sleep with just my top sheet and duvet cover, no duvet insert. I love my bedding set up, I think it looks classy and fancy, it's soft to the touch but not fluffy so I'm not too hot when I sleep, and in winter I add a small fleece blanket as needed.

However, my girlfriend is planning to move in and she wants fluffy comforter style bedding. I have previously purchased 3 duvet inserts in the last ~6 years that were all "cooling" but I was always too hot in them and got rid of them. Prior to that I had a handful of comforters while growing up, but I lived in a cold climate back then.

If I purchase another duvet insert, I want it to be the last one I ever buy, so it needs to be of quality, but it also needs to basically not keep ANY heat, it's function is just to be fluffy. Most things of quality are also, reasonably, made to be warm, but I need the opposite.
