Beat the heat this summer.

Your whole day’s mood can be shaped by what side of the bed you got out of that morning, and sometimes an entire night’s sleep can be ruined by one seemingly small aspect: the temperature. Whether it’s because the heat outside is rising as we head into summer, your AC just isn’t doing its job right, or you’re just a naturally hot sleeper, we all know the worst feeling is being woken up by our puddle of sweat with no solution in sight. Whichever it is, the key to ensuring you’ll get a good night’s rest this summer is simple: a new pair of sheets. With a variety of different materials as well as new technologies, there are many lightweight and breathable sheets you can choose from to sleep comfortably and sweat-free.

When searching for the right bed sheets for you, it all comes down to the fabrics used. From cotton to bamboo viscose to lyocell, different fabrics offer different benefits as they can be moisture-wicking, hypoallergenic, or even prevent night sweats altogether. And it doesn’t end there; another plus that comes with investing in new cooling sheets is the fact that they’re now developed with innovative thermoregulating technologies to maintain a cooler body temperature throughout the night by absorbing any excess body moisture faster than a regular sheet would. Make your personalized choice between Nanotex Technology and SMART sheets, and determine how many sustainable certifications you want to meet your perfect match.

Whatever your preferences are, we’ve rounded up a list of the 19 best cooling bed sheets for hot sleepers. Pick up any of these bestselling and award-winning choices and you can be sure to have improved sleep cycles at the ideal temperature level, all summer long!
