COOLING SHEETS COULD BE THE SOLUTION TO YOUR RESTLESS NIGHTS

Those who run hot in the night no longer have to suffer through it with stifling sheets. The best cooling sheets are made from a variety of silky-smooth fabrics designed to wick away heat and moisture, help regulate your body temperature, and keep you feeling generally chilled-out all night long.

Cooling sheets tend to feel a lot like workout wear, since the objective of cooling and moisture-wicking is the same in both products. The sheets’ texture is typically soft, slinky, breathable, pliable, and basically the opposite of crisp. Instead of cotton percale or sateen, the cooling sheets in this list are made from bamboo fiber, rayon, Spandex, and even jersey cotton.

Also, the thread count is typically lower in cooling sheets (if it’s even listed at all), which gives the material a looser fit and allows more air to pass through than a tight, high-thread-count weave.

Check out these 10 bedding picks that really put the cool in cool-down.\

1Layla Bamboo Sheets (Twin Size)

$75.00

If you’re looking for bedding that feels incredibly cool to the touch, begin your search with Layla Bamboo Sheets — they’re some of the most effective cooling sheets that I’ve ever tested.

Made of bamboo-derived viscose, the sheets are soft and pliable and have a very slinky (but not stretchy) feel. Cooling factor aside, it’s a pleasant material to have against your face and covering your body while you sleep.

I was very surprised by how cool these sheets felt upon first touch — in the course of the night and in weeks afterward. The combination of the sheets’ material and weave lend themselves to an all-over refreshing feeling. They also wash and dry well with virtually no shrinking.

The Layla Bamboo Sheets are more casual than crisp, so they won’t give you elegantly starched pillowcase corners, but if comfort and a cooling feel is more important than looks, I highly recommend this set.

Available in white and gray, this set comes in sizes from twin up to California king.

2Tuft & Needle Jersey Sheet Set (Twin Size)

$49.00

If you value comfort over thread count, Tuft & Needle’s jersey sheets are the cooling sheets of your dreams. Just like you’d reach for this type of material to wear on a hot day, the sheets’ super soft and relaxed fabric is loose and breathable, and a total pleasure to sleep with.

Available in five colors and in sizes twin through California king, this high-quality sheet set is exceptionally affordable — even the largest available size is under $100!  

3Ettitude Bamboo Lyocell Sheet Set (Twin Size)

$138.00

These bamboo lyocell cooling sheets are a vegan-friendly alternative to silk with the same slinky feel. Requiring less water to construct than cotton, bamboo sheets are also a little more Earth-friendly. Reviewers tout their exceptional softness, calling them everything from “cloud-like” to “creamy”!

Available in nine colors, this set comes in sizes twin through California king

4BEDGEAR Hyper-Cotton Performance Sheet Set (Twin Size)

$149.99

Bedgear is making the case for athleisure-style bedding. Its heat-wicking, cotton-rayon performance fabric is less silky and more substantial, making them ideal for year-round use. These sheets are also very durable — Bedgear’s fabric doesn’t shrink or significantly change as much as regular cotton does with each cycle through the wash.

Another feature we love is that they have a thick fitted-sheet band that grips firmly around your mattress, preventing the corners from slipping off in the night. This set is available from a twin to a California king size, in four different color choices.

5My Sheets Rock The Regulator Sheets (Twin Size)

$139.00

The name says it all! The bamboo-rayon sheets from My Sheets Rock are the answer to a hot sleeper’s prayers, with a light, breathable drape and a stretchy, casual feel. They are well worth the investment for their durability and “breeziness,” says one reviewer.

Available in eight different shades, these sheets come in sizes twin through California king, and you can purchase extra pillowcases, too.

6Purple Bamboo Sheets (Twin Size)

$99.00

Purple’s sheets are made of a stretchy, slinky, bamboo-derived viscose material, which feels incredibly satisfying to sprawl out underneath. One of our favorite sheet sets, they add a nice temperature-regulating element to your bed, making them great for those who tend to sleep hot. 

They come in four different colors, and in sizes twin through California king.
7LuxClub Bamboo Sheet Set (Twin Size)

$43.99$26.95 (39% off)

If you’re interested in trying out cooling sheets and you don’t want to lose any sleep over the price, this lightweight and breathable bamboo-fabric set is a great starter option. Plus, the relaxed fabric is also touted as being wrinkle-free. 

They’re available from a full to a California king size, in a wide spectrum of complementary shades.

8Brooklyn Bedding Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector (Twin Size)

$99.00

Pretty much any bedding set turns into cooling sheets when when you have this cooling mattress protector.

This cooling mattress protector from Brooklyn Bedding functions in the exact same way that a regular one would, providing a hypoallergenic, waterproof barrier between your sheets and your mattress. However, this one is woven with a proprietary heat-wicking component that feels refreshingly cool on contact.

Though this super-smooth mattress protector will probably make your sheets feel a little slippery, it’s well worth the enhanced temperature regulation that a regular protector just doesn’t provide.

9Sheex Performance Sheet Set (Twin Size)

$157.50

Do you find the cool, slinky fabric of basketball shorts oddly comforting? Sheex’s polyester-spandex performance sheets deliver that same relaxed feel all over. 

Not only is this bedding set engineered for optimal breathability, but the linens drape beautifully on the bed with a silk-like sheen. They’re available from a twin to a California king size, in a variety of different colors.

10Pure Beech Jersey Knit Modal Sheet Set (Twin Size)

$29.99

Crafted of rayon modal, these budget-friendly jersey-knit sheets feel as comfy, cozy, and cool as your favorite, well-worn tee. They have a more casual than crisp look, and though they’re soft, they don’t have that slippery feeling that silkier varieties do.

Even those who don’t normally like sleeping with top sheets will love the drape of the soft and cooling fabric over their body. The set is available in 11 shades, from twin to California king size.
