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.

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’m looking for a green duvet cover. As the title suggests I’m a hot sleeper so I’m looking for a breathable fabric that is soft. I find linen scratchy and it irritates my skin. Any recommendations are welcome

Edit:

Have found these two so far that are the top contenders if anyone can speak to either:

1. https://www.ettitude.com/products/bamboo-lyocell-duvet-cover?variant=32795592851504

2. https://www.parachutehome.com/products/percale-duvet-cover-1

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.

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.

In recent years I have become a hotttt sleeper to the extent that some nights I literally get up and change pajamas in the middle of the night! I have a purple mattress with a purple mattress protector (re: night sweats). I use Threshold 100% cotton sheets from Target, which I have been generally happy with.

I am in need of a new comforter / duvet / quilt of some kind, ideally under about $160. I nearly die with any kind of polyester bedding, so I believe I am going to need 100% cotton for both shell & fill (I am not familiar with all the fabric names out there). I would love to find something cute / trendy, not just a plain solid color. But at this point I’m so exhausted by my endless internet searching / constant sponsored posts that I just want to narrow it down to a couple of actual top contenders.

For reference, I live in Houston where there are maybe 2 nights a year that we turn the heat on. The other 363 nights I have the a/c cranked and the ceiling fan on high. And I still sweat most nights. 🙃

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

I am an extremely hot sleeper. Spending any time wrapped in a blanket on a mattress makes me sweat. What are some products and brands you absolutely swear by? Would love to sleep through the night without waking up and being overheated

Edit: I sleep in an extremely cold room. Especially in the summer. My AC is cranked. In the winter my heat is low and my windows are open. I just sleep so hot.

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!

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!!

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!!!

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?

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!!

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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!
