The Best Bedding for Cooler Sleep

Warm nights and sunny mornings are just around the corner, and though nothing beats days filled with sand, sun, and BBQ, it can be tough to beat the heat at night. Getting a proper sleep this time of year is especially important for your body to heal and rest after using up so much energy during the day.

While you can crank the AC or a fan, one of the best (and most cost-saving) methods for sleeping cool is to switch out your winter bedding for naturally breathable summer linens. 

Here’s the summer bedding that our customers keep coming back to:

Cool Touch Blankets and Pillowcases

Our Cool Touch Technology uses a nylon and spandex blend to lift warmth away from the body, dropping your temperature by 2 degrees and protecting you from overheating. They’re our go-to when the going gets hot, and are extra refreshing when paired with naturally breathable sheeting!

BeechBliss Sheeting

Super soft and buttery, our BeechBliss TENCEL™ Modal sheeting is crafted from responsibly-grown wood fibres. Naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and cool to the touch, it’s one of our favourite summer fabrics, and lays down a fresh foundation for you to build a cooler bed. 

Silk Duvets

Silk is naturally hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking, and regulates your temperature as you sleep. Perfect for co-sleepers with different body temperatures, or hot summer nights, silk duvets are designed to keep you cool but maintain the weighted effect that many sleepers crave. We recommend switching out your winter duvet for silk in the spring, when you can add and remove other layers as needed.

Silk Sheeting and Pillowcases

The most luxuriously cooling sheeting option for your summer bed is Mulberry Silk. Though it may be pricier than other fabrics, Silk is extremely long-lasting, and will keep you cool for years to come. Super soft and gentle on your skin, silk both regulates your temperature and wicks away sweat so you can rest easy all summer. 

Bonus: Silk is smoothing and nourishing on hair and skin, making it our favourite natural beauty sleep hack!

Silk-Filled Protectors

Now that you have your sheeting and top layers sorted, it’s time to add an extra layer of breathability between your sheets and your bed. Though natural sheets like Mulberry Silk or BeechBliss do a great job of keeping you cool, heat still gets trapped in your mattress and pillow. And an extra layer of protection is always a good thing! 

Our silk-filled mattress and pillow protectors are designed to help balance your temperature along with your other cooling layers. Like silk sheeting, they wick moisture away and relieve allergies, while offering added circulation under your body. We recommend them especially for those who experience night sweats.

Cooling Pillows

Your face, head, and chest are the areas in your body most sensitive to heat, and letting them breathe is key to comfortable summer rest. A pillow like our Cool Touch Memory Foam Pillow helps to circulate air under your head and keep you cool. It’s also the perfect way to top off your summer bed!
