Forget the white noise machines, chamomile teas and essential oils — the key to a good night’s sleep is in the sheets. If you don’t have a good set of sheets and blankets to keep you cool and comfortable, no amount of fancy-smelling oils or expensive mattresses can help you. Research has found a correlation between high heat and bad sleep, so if you’re the type to run hot while deep in REM, you’ve probably noticed that you don’t always wake up on the right side of the bed.

Besides a high thread count, note the material next time you’re shopping for bedding; fabrics like linen, silk, percale, and bamboo (or a blend of at least one of these) are your best bet to keep your temperature down while you rest. To help you get through the night, here are some of our top picks to keep hot sleepers cool.
Hush ‘Iced Bamboo Cooling Sheet and Pillowcase Set’
Why we love it: This sheet set by Hush is made for night sweaters and people who hate making the bed. In addition to being 100 per cent organic viscose bamboo, an antibacterial fabric which works through the night to combat moisture, these sustainable sheets have been designed with a label in each corner, so you’ll never have to guess which direction to put your fitted sheet.
Price: $186.15
Where to buy: Hush
Benji ‘Bed Sheets Set’
Why we love it: Percale, which is a style of cotton, not a material, is an affordable sheet alternative to the often pricey linen sheets. This set by Canadian brand Benji is 1,500 thread count and hypoallergenic, ideal for those sleepers who get hot and sneezy at night.
Price: $100

LilySilk ‘19 Momme Premium Silk Flat Sheet’
Why we love it: This flat sheet by Lily Silk might be a splurge, but for anyone who wants to reduce hair breakage and wrinkles while they sleep, silk bedding is the best way to go. This flat sheet comes with a matte and glossy side, and because it’s made from 100 per cent silk charmeuse, those with sensitive skin can rest easy.
Price: $225

Silk & Snow ‘Percale Bed Sheets’
Why we love it: Made in Portugal, Silk & Snow sheets are made in small batches with organic dyes, in keeping with the brand’s commitment to prioritize the planet through a transparent, conscious manufacturing process. Even better, these cooling percale sheets come with a 100-night sleep trial and one year warranty, giving you lots of time to figure out what works best for you throughout the seasons.

Bamboo Nights Sheet Set
Why we love it: These Bamboo Nights sheets bring together the best assets of all the cooling fabrics: sweat-wicking, antibacterial and luxe softness that feels just like silk. Plus, since this material is wrinkle-resistant, you’ll never need to steam your sheets again.

Get Rest ‘Evercool Cooling Comforter’
Why we love it: This Evercool comforter has everything you need in a blanket: it’s machine washable, is 10 times more moisture-wicking than cotton, and three times stronger than silk — but just as soft. Inside, it’s filled with a TENCEL (another great material for cooling) and Sorona blend, both sourced with an eco-conscious process.
Price: $168.35
Where to buy: Get Rest
Casper ‘Hyperlite Sheet Set’
Why we love it: Made from the wood of eucalyptus trees, TENCEL, similar to bamboo, has antibacterial properties that make it a great choice for allergy sufferers. The weave in these TENCEL sheets by Casper makes them extra light and breathable. Designed with ‘vent-like’ patterns, these sheets were made to maximize airflow to keep you cooler longer.
Price: $179
Where to buy: Casper
Endy ‘Silk Pillowcase’
Why we love it: If you want to upgrade your bedding but are not ready to make the big investment, a silk pillowcase is a solid start.
