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.

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.

Our duvet cover finally gave out and the zipper is ripping off. Also SO ans I are hot sleepers.

I like the silkiness of bamboo but also run hot- linen sounds like it. But I’ve heard that bamboo also helps when people feel hot?

Any weigh ins for people who’ve tried both? Ang weigh ins on brands?

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!!!

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!

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.

My partner and I are both hot sleepers but want a fluffy looking comforter or duvet. Ideally something that is also clean, safe and hypoallergenic (trying to avoid plastics, polyester). Any recs? Thanks!!

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!!

Just came here to say that, at least for me, I stopped sweating and sleeping hot when I changed to a 100% goose down duvet.

For years I thought it was the sheets, mattress, medications, very early menopause, diet.

No. It was the “down alternative” duvet filled with typical polyester fiberfill. I’ve had a variety of these over the years from different brands but they all have roughly the same filling. Fiberfill does not breathe. It traps heat in a bad way. This is the problem.

Even though my new real down duvet is objectively much warmer I don’t feel hot and suffocated. I don’t sweat. I don’t wake up needing to stick my leg out. I actually sleep through the night.

I hope this helps someone.

My stack is a TCS 100% goose down duvet, Stearns & Foster Lux Hybrid (memory foam + innerspring) mattress, and Costco cotton sheets.

ETA: Make sure your pajamas are not polyester or synthetic blend too. Cotton is the way.

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.

I would love any recommendations on a good duvet insert for hot sleepers, I want something thats good quality, but affordable, however, I am willing to spend the money on a great duvet insert.

Appreciate the help, and would also appreicate on which fabric to buy for a duvet cover thats good for hot sleepers.

Thanks!

I moved into my apartment last year. I’ve had a duvet for probably 5+ years and like it. However, last winter, I was impossibly warm.

My current spot uses more old school heating (we have a boiler). My apartment gets so hot. I’d find myself waking up and having to crack open my window. I’d eventually fall asleep and then wake up freezing thanks to being in the northern part of the US.

It’s already getting quite cold, so I’m seriously debating to get a thicker quilt or bring out the duvet. Does anyone have recommendations for different duvet inserts/covers that are more breathable? Pros/cons are helpful too. Thanks :)

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!

Most of what I'm seeing (Egyptian cotton, etc.) is just solid color. I want something that's elegant and will fit the design of the rest of the furniture we just got. Modern and luxurious.

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

I am in the process of changing my bedding, and upgrading from a Queen to King. I went down the rabbit hole and got some sheet, mattress, pillow etc. Gosh, it was a very fun

Now I am trying to find a good duvet cover, do you all have recommendations? Budget is around 200-250, willing to spend a little more if the product is really great.

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 know this has been asked many times before but frankly every time I think I’ve found a good option, I see tons of negative reviews. My budget is under $200 and I prefer linen or percale, more breathable but soft fabrics.

I think I will stay away from Brooklinen and Quince given all the quality issues I’ve seen.

I am in need of a duvet cover for summer and don’t know what to get. In the winter I LOVE jersey sheets. They’re so soft and cozy but I struggle in the summer with overheating and want something lighter weight, but linen and other materials never feel quite as soft. I hate when the material is scratchy.

What should I try? Brand recommendations are great too as long as they’re in a lower price range.
