Do you sleep like a sweaty mess like we do? We found some of the most amazing cooling sheets ever. Hot sleepers to the front of the line!

There are ton of reasons why you may experience the night sweats. Some people are just hot and sweaty sleepers, others have medical conditions, and some can experience a mixture of both. The good news is that there is a way to help deal with sweating when you sleep and that’s thanks to finding the right cooling sheets for you!

Overall, when looking for cooling sheets you want to make sure you’re choosing the right material that will help regulate your body temperature. Typically, some of the most popular ones are bamboo. Bamboo is known to be super breathable and still soft at the same time. Slip into a bed with those and it’s like falling asleep on butter.

Also be sure to look our for fabrics and materials that talk about moisture-wicking. Moisture-wicking will help draw away excess moisture from your body (helping to keep you feeling cooler) and it’ll absorb very little water. That’s where it differs from traditional cotton. Cotton will typically hang on to moisture (read: your sweat!) and keep you and your sheets feeling hot, clammy, and damp.

The Best Type of Sheets For Hot Sleepers

Hot sleepers tend to get sweaty and uncomfortable during the night, which can affect their sleep quality. Choosing the right sheets can help to regulate temperature, wick away moisture, and provide a comfortable sleeping surface. Here are some of the best types of sheets for hot sleepers:

BAMBOO SHEETS

Bamboo sheets are typically known for being highly breathable and moisture-wicking, making them one of the most popular choices for hot and sweaty sleepers. Bamboo sheets are also hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and eco-friendly – which is just an added bonus.

TENCAL SHEETS

Tencel sheets are made from eucalyptus fibers and have natural moisture-wicking properties, which helps pull away sweat from your body which, in turn, can help to make you feel cooler while you try to catch some winks. They’re also highly breathable and gentle on the skin, so they feel nice all at the same time.

COTTON PRECALE SHEETS

Cotton percale sheets are crisp, lightweight, and breathable, which makes them a great option for sweaty sleepers. They have a tighter weave than most regular classic cotton sheets, which allows for better air circulation and temperature regulation.

LINEN PRECALE SHEETS

Typically known to be the “summer sheet” linen sheets are highly breathable and moisture-wicking helping to regulate body temp while also being durable, hypoallergenic, and typically get softer with each wash.

COOLING SHEETS

Some brands offer sheets specifically designed to regulate temperature, such as cooling sheets made from materials like Outlast or Lyocell. These sheets can help to keep hot sleepers comfortable and reduce nighttime sweating overall.
