I don’t care what type of sleeper you are—side sleeper, stomach sleeper, take-up-the-whole-bed sleeper, or something in between—we can all agree that night sweats are #theworst. Summer heat only adds to the drama, making it almost impossible to get a good night’s sleep without taking some much-needed steps to stay cool. Enter: cooling bedding, the MVP for summer nights. Cooling bed sheets, duvet covers, pillows, and more are the magic solutions to our warm night woes, and for that, we are thankful.
Whether you are looking to upgrade your bedding for summer or you are a hot sleeper year-round and have trouble sleeping through the night without sweating, investing in cooling bedding is the way to go, so add these to your cart, and just thank us later.
Sheet Sets
If you were only going to invest in one thing for warmer nights, a high-quality sheet set would be the way to go. They make up the majority of your bedding (most sheet sets include two pillowcases, a fitted sheet, and a flat sheet), so they make the biggest difference when it comes to comfortability. Choose percale, which is naturally cooling, a lightweight linen fabric, or a cotton fabric with cooling technology.
Comforters & Duvets
Comforters and duvets are usually the first things we toss off or stick our legs out of in the middle of the night when we are sweating, but they aren’t all heavy and warm. Lightweight and breathable comforters and duvets are essential for releasing excess heat instead of trapping it underneath the covers.
Quilts & Blankets
There aren’t many things that are as aesthetic as a perfectly layered bed, but the idea of layering in the summer single-handedly makes me overheat. Luckily, there are lightweight and breathable quilts and blankets that can help us achieve that magazine-styled-bed look even during the summer months.
Pillows
Going through too much dry shampoo because your hair is getting all sweaty and greasy at night? Frustrated that you don’t actually have a cool side of the pillow? I feel you. I have good news though: You can wave goodbye to those days by getting yourself a pillow with cooling technology.
Mattress Pads & Toppers
If you’ve tried every bedding and pillow to cool down at night and you’re still not cool enough, what do you do? Start with the foundation and invest in a mattress pad or topper that has temperature control and cooling technology. Not only will upgrading one of these options make your bed more comfortable, but they can also prevent you from overheating since they help take away any excess heat that comes from your body.
