Do you ever feel like you're melting into your mattress? You're not alone. 

Many people struggle with overheating while sleeping. Constant tossing and turning and waking up drenched in sweat can lead to exhaustion the next day. 

The good news is that the right bedding can make all the difference. Imagine sleeping comfortably through the night with breathable bedding that keeps you fresh until morning!

This article will explore the best bedding options to keep hot sleepers cool and comfortable all night. 

Let's dive in!

 

Understanding the Problem: Why Do We Overheat?

Bedding is often the leading cause of overheating at night. Using materials that do not effectively wick away sweat can create a damp and warm environment. 

Synthetic fabrics like polyester and microfiber trap heat and moisture close to the body, making you feel uncomfortably hot. Similarly, heavy duvets have thick insulation, making it hard to stay cool at night. 

Fabrics with dense weaves can also cause problems, as tightly woven materials restrict airflow, leading to a hot sleeping situation. 

Understanding these factors can help you choose better bedding and create a cooler, more comfortable sleep environment.

What to Look for in Cooling Bedding

When looking for cooling sheets, pillows, and duvet covers, there are three main aspects to consider:

1. Materials

Your sheets and pillowcases are crucial in keeping you cool at night; certain materials enhance comfort and breathability. Let’s have a look at them:

• Cotton is a natural fiber known for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties. Opting for 100% long-staple cotton, such as Egyptian or Pima cotton, allows air to circulate freely, keeping you fresh throughout the night.

• Linen has natural temperature-regulating properties, ensuring you stay comfortable in warm and cold conditions. High-quality linen sheets and pillowcases, particularly stonewashed ones, become softer with each wash, providing a comfortable and cool sleeping surface.

• Bamboo sheets are exceptionally soft, breathable, naturally hypoallergenic, and resistant to odors, perfect for hot sleepers.  Look for those labeled as 100% bamboo or bamboo-derived viscose for more comfort when shopping.

2. Weave

The weave of your bedding can also significantly impact its cooling properties: 

• Percale: Percale has a crisp, breathable weave that keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the night.
• Sateen: Sateen sheets boast a silky-smooth texture with a subtle sheen. But they have a tighter weave than percale, so it may not be the best choice if you’re looking to stay cool at night.
• Jacquard: Jacquard bedding tends to be thicker and more textured, making it better suited for winter months - not hot sleepers! 

3. Thread Count

Another essential aspect to consider is the bedding’s thread count. It refers to the number of vertical and horizontal threads woven into one square inch of fabric.

Aim for a thread count between 200 and 400 if you're a hot sleeper. Higher thread counts can reduce airflow and trap heat, making you sweat at night. 

Fabrics with a lower thread count range are more breathable, helping to keep you cooler and more comfortable.

By choosing the suitable sheets, you won’t kick off the covers every night because you’re too hot to sleep! 

 

How to Select the Best Duvets for a Cool Sleep

Choosing the right duvet can greatly improve your rest, especially if you're a hot sleeper. Here’s what you need to know to make the best choice:

• Opt for Natural Materials: For optimal results, go for 100% down duvets. These are made from breathable, moisture-wicking natural materials that allow air to circulate, helping to regulate your body temperature throughout the night.
• Choose the Right Fill Weight: Guild Craft offers four types of down duvet fills to suit different needs. For hot sleepers, our summer or lightweight options are ideal. These duvets provide just the right amount of warmth without causing overheating, perfect for warmer nights. 

By carefully selecting down duvets with the right fill weight, you can enjoy a cool, comfortable sleep environment tailored to your preferences.
