Are cooling blankets expensive?
Is a thinner blanket cooler?
What material is not ideal for a cooling blanket?
I sleep with my room very cold but I still sweat a lot at night due to a medication that I’m on. I recently switched from cotton to linen sheets and they are awesome, but I’m still getting sweaty and I think it’s because of my comforter. It is a down-alternative comforter that I received as a gift and I think the polyester material that it’s filled with is not breathable. Everyone suggests using a down comforter/duvet, but I am not comfortable using anything that comes from animals (please don’t judge me, it’s a personal choice). Does anyone have any suggestions?
price doesn’t matter ill save hundreds if thats what it takes to get something that works.
temperatures here are rising and i get sick in hotter temperatures.
i prefer sleeping in extremely cold temperatures but nights here are super hot now. so what are the coldest cooling blankets i can get?
thanks for any help anyone can provide.
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.
A waffle-weave all-cotton blanket, sometimes called a hospital-style blanket. These are thin, not puffy or fuzzy like we're used to blankets being these days, but they soft, warm in winter, cool in the summer, and allow sweat to evaporate easily, if you should get overheated at all.
You can get them for between $30 and $75 US, and as a fellow hot sleeper, I keep one on my bed all year in NYC. Even here in the midwinter, I prefer to use two of them and a sheet over a traditional comforter or blanket. The last one, I think I just got from amazon, made of Egyptian cotton.
Good-quality cotton lasts ages and only gets softer with time. As a high-use item, it does eventually wear out, but between the ones that my mother had and my own, you can expect a good 20-30 years of use.
I’m curious to this as well. I’m freezing when I go to sleep but often wake up with night sweats.
