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?

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!

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!

I need one for summer, my place will hover around 70-72 degrees, and I’ve been sweating in my old down comforter (I need the weight otherwise I’d just use a sheet and blanket, plus I splurged on a linen duvet cover that I’d like to use). I just tried a eucalyptus one that was supposed to be “cooling,” but it was also making me super hot. I’ve heard of wool and silk duvet inserts, but not sure if anyone has experience with those. I’d like to get something that will last for years, so cotton is a no-go since that bunches over time.

I was looking at mommesilk all season insert. What would be a good duvet cover to go with? I was looking at the ikea dytag but the dimensions are smaller than the insert.

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!

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.
