Do any of IKEA’s duvet inserts that are listed as “cool” really stay cool?
Greetings to my fellow hot-natured folks living on warm climates! Title and lead question say it all. I currently live in Texas. I’ve been hot natured all my life and I sleep hot… and it doesn’t help that I have a very sweet cat who insists on sleeping pressed up against me. I can’t sleep with no top covering at all (sheet, duvet, whatever), and I’ve tried sleeping with just a sheet but I need the feel of a little something more. But even a thin all-cotton quilt/blanket is just too hot and I wake up sweating multiple times in the night. Desperate for a solution!
I'm looking into summer bedding for our home. I got cotton percale sheet set, cotton duvet cover, and now need a duvet insert. I want natural materials (no synthetic) and am torn between A) IKEA Fjallarnika in light warm (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/fjaellarnika-duvet-insert-light-warm-50457474/) vs B) a silk option (https://a.co/d/20cpliD ---OR--- https://www.mommesilk.com/products/copy-of-washable-cotton-covered-silk-comforter).
Does anyone have experience to share? In the hottest months here (hot & humid) everything will be thrown off, so I wouldn't mind if it had a bit of versatility, i.e., spring/summer/fall.
More info: One child sleeps hot, one does not; they share a room. For winter (gets very cold here) son has the Fjallarnika duvet insert in warm and throws it off most nights. Daughter has the Fjallbracka in warm bc it was too hot for son. Fjallarnika has 90% feather/10% down so I thought getting it in light warm for summer would be a cooler option than the light warm Fjallbracka which has 75% down/25% feather.
IKEA is 3 hrs away so going to see in person is basically already making the choice. Would like to get them this weekend so I can be ready to change the bedding as the weather warms up! Thanks
