The Best Bed Sheets for Hot Sleepers

Let’s substitute sweat with solid slumber as we swap out our old bedding with the latest, innovative cooling sheet sets. With up to 41 percent of us experiencing night sweats and being considered “hot sleepers,” it’s likely someone in your household could benefit from a little sheet switch.

So how do some of us get so lucky to wake up in our own luxurious pool of sweat each morning? The truth is, there could be many factors. Hormonal changes, eating or sleeping too close to your bedtime and conditions such as sleep apnea or anxiety can all contribute to your sauna-like slumber parties. But there are ways you can regulate your body’s temperature to a less sizzling state.

Little lifestyle changes like taking a steaming hot shower before jumping into bed can actually have the opposite effect and help lower your body temp. Though the best way to sleep soundly (and wake up refreshed instead of drenched) is to invest in good, cooling sheets that will make those approximately 26 years you’ll spend asleep, restful. Generally speaking, the most cooling sheets are made from linen, bamboo, and Tencel, which all offer breathability to keep you cool—but no need to worry about that because we’ve already done the research for you.
