Maybe you tend to sleep hot all year long, or perhaps you’re prone to night sweats once warmer temps roll around. Either way, sticking to your sheets does not a good night’s sleep make. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the best cooling comforters (and bedding sets) you can buy right now. These comforters are made of breathable materials like bamboo, linen, or cotton, and have lower fill powers that won’t trap heat and make you feel smothered. Get ready to wake up refreshed.

ettitude sateen duvet cover
Ettitude

A super-smooth duvet cover…

This duvet cover is made entirely of Ettitude's signature bamboo lyocell but woven to feel like silk, so you get that smooth, luxurious feeling but better breathability. The weave is also naturally temperature-regulating and hypoallergenic. Slip this onto the comforter you already have for an instant bedding upgrade, or add the brand's cooling bamboo comforter to your cart as well. ($194+, Ettitude)

Cooling Comforters
Cozy Earth

A breathable comforter in bamboo or silk…

This Cozy Earth comforter is filled with either bamboo or silk — your choice — and both are moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating. (That said, the brand recommends that hot sleepers opt for bamboo.) You’ll love the anchor loops on the corners that stop it from moving around throughout the night. To complete your bedding refresh, bundle your order with the bamboo duvet cover and bamboo mattress pad. ($335.20+, Cozy Earth)

parachute percale sheet set
Parachute

A crisp percale sheet set…

At least one of our editors has her eye on this percale sheets set from Parachute. Percale is a great option for hot sleepers, since it has that lightweight, crisp feeling you know and love from high-end hotels. It’s also a durable material that holds up quite well over time, so it’s worth investing in a quality set. This one comes with one fitted sheet and two pillowcases, and you can even choose your preferred pillowcase opening (back envelope or side opening). You can also choose to add a top sheet, if you land on that side of the “top sheet or no top sheet” argument. ($139+, Parachute)

coyuchi diamond cooling comforter
Coyuchi

A lightweight comforter that’ll keep you comfy year-round…

This one from Coyuchi is made of 100% organic cotton and arrives in a reusable cotton fabric bag — all fair trade certified. We’ve used this comforter and love its lightweight feel, but it still keeps us plenty warm on chilly nights or in an air-conditioned room. Use it as a standalone quilt (the diamond pattern is pretty enough to display as is), or slip it into a duvet cover for an extra layer of insulation during the colder months. ($298+, Coyuchi)

all season cooling comforter
SIJO

An all-season comforter that retains and directs heat when you need it…

Sijo’s cooling comforter is made with moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating fibers that retain heat when you’re warm and release it back when you’re cold. In other words, you’ll stay comfortable all night long, even if you experience a hot flash. You can pair it with any of the brand’s duvet covers for a little extra warmth during the winter months. Make sure you don’t throw it in the wash with any zippers or rough materials to keep it in good shape. ($255+, Sijo)

Luxome cooling comforter
Amazon

An elegant-looking cooling comforter…

Another temperature-regulating option, this comforter will keep hot sleepers cool and dry all night long. It has a lofty, baffle-box design for extra comfort (without added heat). The sateen weave will make your bedroom look just a little more luxurious. It’s oversized, but you can tuck the extra-long corners underneath your mattress for a chic hotel vibe. ($320+, Amazon)

Brooklinen white cooling bed sheet
Brooklinen

A popular down-alternative comforter that comes in three weights…

We can’t talk about bedding without talking about Brooklinen. We’re especially partial to the brand’s down-alternative comforters, which come in three different fill powers for a customized sleeping experience. We recommend the lightweight option for hot sleepers, and the all-season option for those who tend to catch a little chill during the night. This cooling comforter contains hypoallergenic recycled PET fibers within a 100% cotton sateen shell. ($159+, Brooklinen)

Casper cooling down cover
Casper

A comforter made of sustainable materials…

This down-alternative cooling comforter has a shell made from Tencel lyocell — a breathable fiber made from sustainably sourced wool pulp — and a 100% recycled polyester fill. Its design keeps the fill fluffy and in place, so you’ll stay comfy throughout the night. Go for the lightweight fill (rather than fullweight) if you run hot. ($179+, Casper)

Buy it
Amazon Lightweight comforter
Amazon

A lightweight cooling comforter that won’t break the bank… 

This all-season comforter is an Amazon favorite for hot sleepers. Reviewers rave about how comfortable and breathable it is for those who tend to sweat at night. It has box stitching so the microfiber filling stays in place, it’s machine washable, and it comes in seven colors and eight sizes. Can’t go wrong with this one. ($39.90+, Amazon)

Buy it
quince linen duvet cover set
Quince

A linen duvet cover set that only gets softer over time…

This duvet is made from 100% European flax, which is already prewashed but will soften up more with each wash. Linen is the perfect breathable material for housing your comforter during warmer months, and this set also comes with two lightweight shams for a cohesive bedding look. Choose from 19 colors, including a very chic terracotta stripe. ($139.90+, Quince)
