Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat? If this kind of thing happens to you year-round—no matter the temperature in your bedroom—you're probably what experts call a "hot sleeper," or someone who tends to feel uncomfortably warm at night while trying to sleep. The good news is that there are plenty of changes you can make to your bedding to help you achieve a more comfortable night's sleep, including buying a set of cooling sheets and one of the best comforters for hot sleepers.
Now, it may seem counterintuitive for someone who sleeps hot to even buy a comforter in the first place. But doesn't everyone love to snuggle up in bed with a big, fluffy blanket? And even if you don't run hot, chances are you'll want something comfy but cooling for the hotter months of the year. The trick either way is simply to choose a lightweight option made from breathable, natural fabrics like cotton, bamboo, or eucalyptus. To help you find the perfect comforter for you, we've rounded up the top ten cooling comforters, as recommended by thousands of online reviewers.
Once you've made your choice, check out the best silk pillowcases for even better beauty rest and essential oil diffusers to help you relax. Your bedroom will be pure (cool) comfort every night, allowing you to get your much needed Zzz's.
This lightweight option uses NASA-approved technology to regulate heat and moisture while you sleep. It's made of 100% cotton on the outside with a down alternative fiber on the inside. It's also machine washable! If it's good enough for the astronauts, it's good enough for us, right?
