So for some context I am a women who starts off pretty cold most nights and falls asleep under a few blankets (both cotton and polyester, the latter of which I’m trying to move away from) and I wake up under no blankets or one blanket, or on one occasion an entirely different blanket.

I’ve got my mattress sorted to my liking finally but now I’m looking at bedding. I’ve been looking at wool for some time but I’m worried it’d be more of a hassle than anything. That and I don’t want to spend money on a quality blanket that will give me the same issues listed about.

So, silk. I live in the southeastern US, not as far south as one COULD go but it still gets horribly humid here, we had a few weeks of triple digits this summer and those weeks it didn’t get lower than 75 at night; winters can range from mild to shocking drops in temperatures for a week or two at a time. I keep my house 73 at night during the summer because any higher and I wake up sticky and 66-68 in the winter while running a heater in my bedroom.

I’d like something I can use year round ideally, with a duvet cover of probably cotton because buying the duvet would be expensive. As for price, let’s just say I’ve been seriously considering Amazon brands? I really really would not like to go over 300- but if it’s something I could definitely use year round, really get my moneys worth I’d seriously consider going up to 500. I don’t make a lot of money but I do believe in investing when I can.

Any recommendations on the brand/weight/etc? Google has proved frustrating in this regard.

Thanks in advance!

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!
