I've done some research on silk inserts, which I didn't even know were a thing until I learned about it on this subreddit (Thanks!!), and wanted to see if there were recommendations on which one to buy. The options available are pretty overwhelming, so I was hoping to narrow it down to a few based on other hot sleepers' experience. Don't have a max budget in mind but willing to shell out a little extra if it means a better night of sleep!

Hi! My husband sleeps extremely hot all year round even though we’re in the Midwest. We’re looking to upgrade our bedding to help him with a quality linen duvet cover and silk comforter insert. The insert will be a summer weight and then I plan to just get a smaller quilt for myself to keep warmer.

We’ve narrowed it down to these two lightweight/summer silk inserts. Does anyone have experience with either, good or bad? Which would you pick?

Hey all,

I have a queen-size DLX premier hybrid (14" tall, which will be 14" off the ground) on order, and I'm taking the opportunity to upgrade my bedding as well.

I'm a hot sleeper, and my bedroom will swing from the low 60s for a couple of months a year up to the mid-70s for longer periods. I currently have an old down comforter that I kick off in the summer, and I'm looking to upsize to a king THXsilk 6a comforter (102x90) in the spring/fall fill.

I'm a little unsure of how I'll like the extra weight of the silk comforter, so I'd like to pair it with a lightweight breathable cover in the $120 price range. I'm having a bit of trouble finding one that's properly undersized so that it doesn't slide around, so I'm looking for suggestions! A solid color is fine with me, but likely not white.

Hi there, after seeing a few threads from u/SorcererLeotard I am interested in a silk filled duvet. I'm in the process of upgrading most of my bedding, so this seems like the most worthwhile upgrade. So here I am, seeking the wisdom from the Sorcerer of the threads.

I tend to sleep pretty hot as I don't have AC, but in general I like to be warm (o the irony) although I do sweat quite a bit. I'm looking into a Summer duvet for coolness or an all-season for balance, although I do really like the weight of my current duvet (7 lbs).

Any brand recommendations or things to look into? Budget is pretty flexible, so I'm looking into high-end and mid-high. Some that have caught my eye (from other threads) are:

• Elle Silk

• Lily Silk

• ThxSilk

• Ocochi (although I'm not sure about the bamboo lyocell)

I will probs pair it with a percale Sferra duvet cover, but I haven't looked much into this yet.

Thanks!

After buying and returning 3 different down and down/feather duvets that were way too warm, I’ve decided to try a silk insert.

I live in a cold climate but I’m a hot sleeper. I currently sleep with 2 quilts - one is heavy cotton and then a velvet one on top, this is usually warm enough for me, but occasionally I do use an extra blanket in winter.

I’m debating between Mommesilk’s summer weight silk ($189), or they have a 2 in 1 option that includes a summer insert and an all season insert that can both be used separately or be snapped together in winter, for $269. Or, I was considering THXSilk 7A summer weight for $279.

Does anyone know if there’s a big difference in warmth between the summer/other weights? How do these brands compare in terms of quality?

Thank you!
