Top cool bedding for hot sleepers: Sheets, pillows and toppers that actually work
The summer heat is on the way, and there is nothing worse than tossing and turning in bed when you are hot at night.
Enter cool bedding. From crisp, breathable cotton sheets that keep you cool in summer to luxurious silk or satin pillowcases that add a touch of elegance, the options are endless.
There are a few factors to keep in mind when purchasing bedding to keep you cool. You can find innovative cooling technologies, such as moisture-wicking fabrics and gel-infused memory foam mattresses, that help regulate temperature and ensure a restful night's sleep.
Material
When shopping for cool bedding, materials like 100% cotton, linen, rayon and bamboo that are lightweight and breathable for summer are optimal.
Thread count
According to experts, you should choose bedding with a thread count between 200-400 for a balance of softness and breathability, but it is more about the fiber type and weave construction.
Moisture-wicking properties and cooling technology
Bedding that can wick away moisture like linen, bamboo or Tencel helps keep you dry and comfortable throughout the night. Additionally, some bedding brands offer cooling technologies designed to regulate temperature and wick moisture.
