The 24 Best Cooling Sheets for Hot Sleepers, Tested by BHG
By Molly Blanco
Stay cool and comfortable all night with these cooling sheets our editors love.
If you struggle with sweating and overheating at night, you may need to invest in a set of cooling sheets. Breathable sheets can help you sleep more soundly, whether you’re a hot sleeper, live in a warm climate, or just tend to overheat during hot summer months.
“Cooling comes from wicking,” says textile expert and educator Deborah Young. “Wicking means to take that moisture from your body to the surface for evaporation. Once we do that, that has an automatic cooling effect.”
For cooling sheets, Young recommends natural fibers like cotton, bamboo, eucalyptus, linen, and hemp. “All of them are about reducing that sweat and wicking away and leaving you with a cooler experience,” she says.
We put more than 200 sheet sets to the test in our lab and in our own homes, evaluating each set on its quality, texture, breathability, and durability. After months of testing, we selected the best cooling sheets in a variety of materials, whether you prefer classic cotton or luxurious linen.
What We Tested
We evaluated over 200 sets of sheets on their quality, texture, breathability, and durability. For more information on how we tested cooling sheets, check out our testing process below.
Best Bamboo
With a luxurious silk-like texture, bamboo is one of the softest materials for cooling sheets. Bamboo is also ideal for hot sleepers since it lets body heat escape and wicks away moisture.
We loved the cool-to-the-touch fabric of the Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set, which is made with 100% bamboo viscose. During testing, the sheets had a silky soft texture without being slippery. The Bampure Organic Bamboo Sheets are a less expensive bamboo option that also had a luxurious texture and kept us cool throughout the night.
We also tested the Cariloha Retreat Bamboo Sheets and found them to be exceptionally soft and cooling, making them a great investment for hot sleepers. For another budget-friendly option that is ideal for hot sleepers, we were impressed by the breathability of the Quince Organic Bamboo Sheet Set. With an almost silky texture, the fabric felt luxurious and was breathable enough to keep night sweats at bay.

What to Know About Cooling Sheets Before Shopping
Certifications
The most common certification to look for in cooling sheets is OEKO Tex Standard 100. “It certifies that anything that is made in these sheets is not harmful to the environment,” Young says. Sheets with the OEKO Tex Standard 100 certification have been tested and proven to be non-toxic to humans.
Another common certification is GOTS, or the Global Organic Textile Standard, which certifies that a material is organically produced from start to finish. However, this certification is only relevant for cotton materials, according to Young.
