I recently ordered the Rest cooling sheets and the matching comforter as well. Damn... what a great investment! They are incredibly soft, and they feel amazing.
My mattress, and pillow are also cooling, so they work great together. Perfect for the desert!
Definitely going to order another set in the future!
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’m looking for a thin filled comforter not a duvet insert. I don’t want any hoops. As close to All organic materials as I can get (outside and fill). Preferably bamboo but not opposed to other organic materials as long as it’s cooling. Solid gray color preferably dark gray. I don’t mind stitching patterns but would prefer if it isn’t a busy stitching design. My budget is around $100 no more than $200.
I’ve been trying to find one myself but they either are not gray, duvet inserts, or used polyester.
Thanks in advance for your assistance
Hi,
My husband is an extremely hot sleeper. He’ll wake up sweaty at night, or move around so much trying to cool off that he ends up waking me up. The last 2 weeks I’ve been consistently waking up around 2-3AM, due to his moving around. After that, I’m wide awake the rest of the day. I’m slowly losing it. I used to love sleeping, I looked forward to going to bed. Now, it’s starting to give me anxiety.
Main question: What materials are the best for super hot sleepers? Ideally, I’d be looking for a sheet set, and comforter.
In addition to sheets, I’m curious if there’s other things / methods I can buy / try to help him stay cooled off at night. I came across something called a BedJet, which, from what I’ve seen, blows cool/warm air under the fitted sheet? Not sure if that’d be worth a try.
I’ll buy anything at this point, I just want to be able to sleep through the night again. Thanks for any help you can provide!
Edit:
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and ideas! You all taught me something new, so I really appreciate that.
I purchased the following :
Percale sheet set from Brooklinen
Rest, Evercool cooling comforter
I’ll probably be coughing out money for the BedJet system, first I want to see how we do with this change. The sleep eight system someone mentioned was nuts, but way out of my budget. Maybe something for the far future…
I’ll update if I remember to on how we’re doing!
Update 8/16/24
My husband did have sleep apnea, and he now has a neat little machine that pushes air in when it senses resistance while he’s sleeping. Thanks to all of you who suggested it!! ❤️❤️❤️
As for Rest: it’s probably my favorite comforter I have ever had, so far. It cools me off really quickly, but I don’t get cold sleeping with it. My husband has had less night sweats (probably thanks to the machine + better sheets). It’s buttery smooth and I really like the way it feels on my skin, so much so, that while it rest on me over a thin sheet, I end up kicking the sheet off in my sleep so I’m sleeping with just the comforter. I’ve washed it a few times following the directions, no issues with it so far. I do have to tuck it into the bed at the end, because we both move around a ton in our sleep and because it’s so smooth, it can fall off. But tucking it in has helped keep it in place and I have no issues there.
As for Brooklinen sheets: they’re great! They still kind of sound a little papery, but they’re very thin and easy to launder. I have 2 sets and I’m quite happy with them.
Anxiety around sleeping is now gone :)
Do not buy from this company. It's my fault; I fell for the social media ads.
Their "cooling pillow" came extremely flat and was no colder than my $30 Amazon pillow. Their "cooling sheet" was way hotter than basic sheets I got from Walmart.
Worst part is, to return the items, you need the original box! I called and they said they can't do returns then without the original box. I had to find the original box and pack them that way. They also ask for photo evidence that it was the original box. I took the photos with my iPhone and tried to attach the photos to their portal but it said the files were "too large." What? How do you attach photos then? With a polaroid?
It's clearly a shady and sleazy tactic to stop refunds.
I sent the refund via UPS. 2 weeks later, I did not receive my refund. I emailed them and they said it was successfully returned. It's week 3 and I still haven't received my refund. I emailed them again and said I will dispute the charge. They didn't respond.
The company also has no google reviews and no info on their headquarters. EXTREMELY SHADY AND SLEAZY DO NOT FALL FOR THE ADS!
Has anyone tried the Rest Evercool Cooling comforter? Just looking for feedback back if it’s actually cooling. I keeps seeing the ads and don’t want to fall into another of these targeted ads lol.
Searching for a cooling comforter that doesn’t trap in heat at night when I sleep. We run the apt ac temp low and have a fan going at night. I still get really hot at night and my comforter doesn’t help. Any recommendations?
I am a HOT sleeper. Constantly waking up sweating and trying to find solutions. Does anyone have experience with the Rest sheets? I recently bought a hybrid mattress and this thing gets brutally hot. Don’t want to throw down another $1500 on a new mattress right after buying one but I’d also be open to mattress ideas under $1k. Love the feel of the memory foam it’s just so damn hot I’m having to move to a different spot every hour all night.
Do cooling sheets really work? If so can you give me a recommendation? There are so many to choose from.
UPDATE:
I purchased Rest sheets/pillow cases and comforter. They definitely help and are far better than my normal sheets. It doesn't solve night sweats but it helps to cool down faster and the sheets don't seem to feel wet.
Tip: After you check out and paid, you will be offered a very limited time (few minutes) if you want to make any other purchases at 40% off. That's how I ended up getting the comforter which I wasn't planning on purchasing.
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
Okay I finally bit the bullet this year and just forked over to try both for the summer. After having a set of lyocell sheets I loved in the past for their cool smooth feel, I wanted to see what these two hyped brands were like. (You can view my reddit history, I'm just a random person who likes medium fancy bedding, not sponsored or anything). I had shopped for like a year, watching sale prices, and read reviews and thought about what to try since last summer!
I bought sheet set, comforter (well rest is just a thin blanket), pillow cases from both compankes. I also got the buffy duvet cover for their comforter.
I got the pink stripe from Buffy and love the look. I got reversible aqua blue color set from Rest.
Additionally, I got a set of Quince bamboo tencel type sheet and duvet cover set to use when my others were in the wash, and to compare.
So the comparison:
Buffy is similar to other lyocell sheet sets I have had but just a touch beefier, less floppy, more body almost like a (soft) percale. Compared to the quince bamboo they look nicer on the bed because less thin. The sizing esp of the duvet cover for their own comforter is really stupid, it doesn't fit right and there is an extra foot of space. This is a pet peeve for me. Especially at this price. I did find them slightly cooling and comfy, and they were my favorite all summer of all the sheets I have. Held up well in the wash so far, little or no pilling or snags, used oxy concentrate to get out some stains and worked well.
Rest is more like a technical silky icey cooling totally synthetic fabric. They feel really really different. They actually are so slippery the comforter slides off the side of the bed during the night (not great). Constantly having a silky cool place to move my leg or hand was delightful however. They really helped mitigate my friends night sweats too so he slept better. Really stretchy. You can see the silver lines in the weave too which is interesting. Pretty color, and held up through several washing so far. I am worried how the blanket will hold up to frequent washing since putting a cover on it negates most of the cooling, its right on skin to work. I don't think I would bother with a top sheet since these slide all over and slip off bc of the fabric. Just bottom sheet pillow cases and rest blanket. I don't see snags or pilling yet after a few months in rotation.
Okay I had wondered about comparing these for years, so I thought I'd share for the next person!
The screenshots give all the details you need.
Basically, my fiancé and I finally decided to buy some nice bedding and so we got a comforter and a "sheet set" from rest.com. They had some really good reviews, especially people on Reddit saying it was great. They even threw in some free pillowcases, which seemed nice given the price tag being almost $400. Everything arrived today and we took it all apart and it turns out there's no sheet included with the sheet set. Somehow a starter sheet that doesn't include a sheet. I can't believe it. I've spent 30 minutes with their child support, trying to get somebody to just mail me a sheet so I don't have to box all this stuff back up and pay a $10 return fee for something that was falsely advertised as a set, which actually doesn't include any sheets. Just the thing that goes on the mattress which I guess is a sheet, but not a set of sheets.
Hi! I’m looking for cooling, lightweight blanket recommendations. I really love this thin quit I was gifted over 10 years ago and refuse to part ways with it because this is the only blanket my body accepts in the summer. I can’t seem to find this material combo. All other blankets I’ve tried are too warm. Anybody knows any blanket for the same or similar material as this one? Thank you!
Any issues with doing so? I know it says to remove from washer and hang to dry, but I’d love it if I could just throw it in the dryer.
Also, if anyone here has tried this. Please let me know what setting and for how long you’re drying cycle was and if it had any effect on the comforter or the cooling technology. TIA!!
Not the most conventional question for this page, but has anyone had any luck finding a comforter that doesn’t make you sweat like crazy? I feel like bc it’s summer I get so much hotter easily & this comforter we’ve been using wakes me up at night bc I’m dripping sweat.
Thanks for your help!
I purchased the Rest cooling sheets about a year ago and I kind of love them. They are super soft and I do feel like they stay cool throughout the night.
What I DON’T love is the things are so dang slippery I end up having to get out of bed multiple times during the night to pull everything back onto the bed— all my covers slip off either the side or the bottom of the bed.
Has anyone figured out how to keep the sheets ON the bed throughout the night?
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!
So I live in Florida, its hot year around, but I like how it feels to sleep with a comforter. Whats the best lightweight comforter for hot sleepers under $500? Ideally in the $200 range if possible
I sleep hot.
Like, windows open in December hot.
So when I kept seeing the Evercool Cooling Comforter pop up in Reddit threads and "best of" lists for sweaty sleepers, I figured it was time to test it.
Here's exactly what happened over 30 nights.
Unboxing and first impressions
The comforter came in a surprisingly compact box for something that's supposed to cover a king bed.
Once out of the packaging, it felt... cold.
Like, weirdly cold.
Even in a 74 degree room, the fabric had that smooth, icy feel like a tech shirt pulled from the fridge.
Lightweight was an understatement.
This felt closer to a thick sheet than any comforter I'd used.
Week 1: shock to the system
The first few nights were a dream.
The Evercool fabric actually felt cold every time I moved or flipped it.
Night sweats? Basically gone.
I woke up dry, which honestly hasn’t happened in months.
I did notice it slid off the bed a few times, especially since I toss and turn.
But I’d take that over sweating through a regular down comforter any day.
Weeks 2 to 4: cooling holds up (mostly)
By the second week, I got used to the light feel.
The cooling effect was still there.
But a little less dramatic.
What helped was flipping or shifting it halfway through the night.
That cold-touch reset is real.
I washed it once during week 3.
Machine wash, cold water, low tumble dry.
No clumping, no change in feel.
Still smooth.
Still breathable.
Pros and cons after 30 nights
Disclosure: If you buy through this link, I might earn a small commission—no extra cost to you.
What I loved:
-
It actually stays cool to the touch
-
Super lightweight but still fluffy enough
-
Breathable, no night sweats
-
Easy to wash, dries fast
-
Doesn’t attract pet hair (huge if you have pets)
What bugged me:
-
Slides around easily, especially without duvet ties
-
Not warm enough on its own for cooler nights
-
Expensive at full price (200$ for queen)
-
Some people might miss that cozy, weighted feel
How it compares to other cooling bedding
I’ve tried bamboo comforters, cooling mattress pads, and even ice packs tucked into pillowcases.
Nothing felt cold on contact like this.
Bamboo and eucalyptus bedding helps with airflow.
But they don’t have that instant cool.
The Evercool fabric genuinely feels like it belongs in workout gear or performance clothing.
It stands out because it actually delivers that cold on contact feeling.
Who it's for (and who it’s not)
Yes if you:
-
Sleep hot, sweat easily, hate heavy blankets
-
Live in a warm climate or run the AC all year
-
Want something easy to care for and fast drying
Skip if you:
-
Love heavy, cozy bedding
-
Need insulation for colder climates
-
Move a lot and hate adjusting your comforter mid-sleep
Worth it?
Is it a game changer?
For hot sleepers, yes.
It’s one of the only comforters that actually feels cold on contact.
If you’re used to waking up sweaty or kicking off your covers every night, this thing will feel like magic.
It’s not perfect.
And the price stings a little.
But if staying cool is the priority, the Evercool comforter is one of the few that actually delivers.
