The best cooling panels and upholstery for a hot sleep

Half the battle to falling (and staying) asleep is feeling cold, according to sleep experts. Even if the central air or air conditioner is moving, bedding can contribute to body temperature fluctuations during the night, keeping that out of reach for eight hours. nap – drowsiness In another red-eyes crossed out. The answer is not sleeping naked (despite the benefits). You need cooling sheets, duvets, mattress covers, and pillows.

Not all bedding works the same way. Light, breathable fabrics like bamboo, cotton, and lyocell wick moisture from the skin and keep your body temperature in check when you’re ready to head out for the night. These cooling sheets and bedding options are just what you need if you’re the human embodiment of a Bunsen stove.

Standard set includes two pillowcases, fitted sheet, and flat sheet – with an optional duvet cover at an extra cost.

7. Red Cotton Floor Sheet Sets

Whether it’s a fragile cotton or nothing, Red Land Cotton’s 140-thread count percale sheets are a win-win. Cotton is sourced from a family farm in Alabama. We’re particularly fond of the Ticking Stripe design; Charcoal and natural lines make these sheets feel extra luxurious by adding some visual interest. Before backing away from lower thread counts (yes, we know 200 to 500 is the norm), consider this old adage: A higher-quality fiber with a lower thread count will be softer and will withstand washing better than the other way around — and provides better aeration.

10. Ash and fir basic leaf group

Ash & Fir’s single-ply yarn set is not only impressively durable, but it’s also lighter (read: cooler) than the 300-thread-count cotton percale. Long-staple cotton provides comfort (value for just $60), and gets softer with every wash. We also love that these papers are OEKO-TEX certified, which means they’re free of over 300 harmful chemicals, toxins, and irritants, and the brand uses eco-friendly production methods. Another thoughtful feature: the fitted sheet has tags that say “long” and “short” so you get things right on the first try.
