Hi,

I am looking for the ideal duvet insert, which for me would mean both fluffy yet cool, as I sleep rather hot. I have tried several ones, but never found the one...any recommendation ? which kind of material should I look for ? I have tried the following :

- 100% Silk duvet (Ikea) : good temperature-wise, but it's very thin and doesn't have any of that fluffyness / volume which I like.

- 4-season duvet made out of 50% polyester microfibre, 25% duck down and 25% duck feathers : super fluffy and comfortable, unfortunately too hot, I end up waking up sweating...

- Cotton weighted blanket : tried it for a while, but didn't like it too much, it doesn't have the fluffy feeling and was also keeping me too hot.

I know I sound difficult. But is there perhaps anything else a solution I haven't considered yet ? Do they make fluffy silk duvets (I didn't find any) ? I assume that a 100% down/feather duvet is gonna be just as hot than the one I have ?

Thanks !

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.

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 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?

Hi, I live a hot climate and can't figure out what duvet insert to buy. I would cap it at an absolute max of $300 and I'm looking at the cooling down alternatives offered by the brands listed in the header. Anybody tried any of them before? I already have sheets I love and I'm not a fan of down or bamboo.

In search of a duvet insert that is light weight or cooling. I already use bamboo sheets but I can’t find an insert for my duvet that doesn’t leave me with night sweats. Thank you!

Hi I know this may seem like a redundant post but I am looking for a duvet insert that keeps you cool. My boyfriend likes to sleep over a lot and he tends to run hot and it makes us more uncomfortable. We keep the room at 68 all year around.

I still want a fluffy duvet insert (doesn’t have to be insanely hotel like fluffy but medium fluffy / on the fluffier side. All the ones I have seen so far are thinner blankets or thin duvet inserts.

I was also wondering if I could insert cooling blankets (more affordable option) into my current duvet and under the insert I have now. Would that help cool down the bed? Any thoughts on this before I revert to buying a very expensive duvet insert?

Other good inserts I’ve seen are the Your Moon wool insert - is this thick enough? Or on the thinner side?

First, I'm going crazy trying to search for comforters, because comforter and duvet insert are apparently interchangeable terms.

I'm looking for a comforter that has even a little bit of cooling properties to it. I sleep hot, but I like big fluffy comforters. I'm thinking maybe a lyocell or rayon/bamboo, but so many of them are duvet inserts despite appearing in searches for comforters. Does anyone have any advice?

Are the coma inducers cooling comforters worth it at all? I don't mind paying extra if it means getting what I want. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Alternatively: Should I just buy a summer weight comforter? I've seen some recommend temps of being 70-90, that should keep me cool if I want my temps to be 65ish right?

I am currently using an empty duvet because I get hot when I sleep

But I love the fluffy feeling of one. Is there a duvet that is thin/don’t get too warm?? Not sure there is such a thing.

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 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.

On a hunt for the fluffiest yet lightest/coolest duvet insert. I am open to anything so long as it’s hypoallergenic.

Currently I have the quince lightweight and I wake up very hot. I’ve looked at the ikea lightweight but the dimensions for the queen are really small at 86 by 86 when my duvet is 92 by 88. My gf has the pottery barn hydrocool (lightweight or all season I’m not sure) and it’s amazing. Problem is it’s expensive.

Anyone have any recommendations? I am willing to spend a good bit of money but I want to double check other options before balling out on the pottery barn for 250.

I am redoing our bedding. We’ve had a paper thin duvet insert for years and it works okay but doesn’t give us the kind of plush, lofty feel. We are also hot sleepers but still want warmth throughout the year.

I’ve done a ton of research lately on the difference between down vs down alternatives, types of sheets for hot sleepers, etc. I’ve learned silk inserts are the best but that’s out of my price range atm (saving for a wedding)!

I ended up purchasing a king Nestwell Down Comforter in Medium Warm from Marshall’s with a queen Threshold (50% cotton/50% recycled polyester) duvet cover. But after night 1 = HOT LOL. Is it the insert or is it duvet cover? Do we need cooling sheets? I ran back to Marshalls and bought:

Martha Steward Jacquard Cotton Tencel Lyocell Comforter

Nestwell Down Alternative Lightweight Comforter

UGG 100% Tencel Lyocell sheet set

Thanks for the help!!!

I need one for summer, my place will hover around 70-72 degrees, and I’ve been sweating in my old down comforter (I need the weight otherwise I’d just use a sheet and blanket, plus I splurged on a linen duvet cover that I’d like to use). I just tried a eucalyptus one that was supposed to be “cooling,” but it was also making me super hot. I’ve heard of wool and silk duvet inserts, but not sure if anyone has experience with those. I’d like to get something that will last for years, so cotton is a no-go since that bunches over time.

Looking for recs for a nice cooling king size comforter.

My husband and I are roasting each other.

Looking to spend upwards of $250-300

Thanks in advance!

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've been looking everywhere for a fluffy but cool temp duvet insert that also isn't too expensive and on amazon. I know that might be hard to come by but really any reccomendation of a fluffy duvet insert that won't break the bank would be great! :D
