No More Night Sweats: We Tested the 8 Best Cooling Sheets on the Market

Slumber Cloud’s claim to fame is its Outlast bedding, woven from the same textile used for NASA astronaut suits. “They feel like traditional cotton percale, but they are much more advanced in their ability to regulate temperature. I really love them,” tester Rachel Elliot says. They have a thicker feel than bamboo sheets and will cool you down when you’re hot, or warm you up when you’re cold. It’s a set of cooling sheets you could use all winter long. Single-ply construction keeps sheets breathable.

Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao put two viral linen sheet sets to the test, and Quince’s airy set came out on top. “If you want solid linen sheets and/or a linen duvet cover at a budget-friendly price, the obvious pick is Quince,” Liao says. “There are more color options available, and the linen sheets feel comfortable, which you may not expect given the price alone. Quince's linen sheets do get softer with each wash.”

Bamboo is a naturally cooling material, like linen, but unlike linen, which has a rougher feel, bamboo is a lot more like silk. Just ask contributing writer Kelsey Mulvey, who has these sheets and loves them. "As a self-proclaimed sheets snob, I'm always down to try new bedding brands, but it takes a lot for me to be truly 'wowed.' However, I recently tried these, and I have to say...wow," she admits. "Unless I'm able to set the thermostat to an arctic temperature, I run hot when I sleep, so I'm always looking for bed sheets with cooling properties. Not only is the viscose from bamboo used here moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating, so I'm not waking up in a pool of sweat, but they're also ridiculously silky smooth."

If there's a luxury sheet set whose cooling power justifies the price, it's this editor-approved one from Cozy Earth. Both Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner and Senior Commerce Manager Mackenzie Dunn rave about this brand's bamboo bedding for its ultra-smooth feel. The thinner fabric is also a great choice for couples who sleep at different temperatures. “Temperature-regulating and buttery soft, these sheets work for both my husband (a hot sleeper) and me (a cold one)," Dunn says.

The silky-smooth texture of these sheets evokes sheer joy just by you touching it. Their shine and color look a little out of the ordinary at first—even the flat sheet looks stretchy—but the cooling power is simply unmatched. "From the moment I took these sheets out of their package, they were cool to the touch," McKenzie says. "At first I chalked it up to the night air, but then I put them to the ultimate test by sleeping in them in my pre-war NYC apartment with a strong radiator that makes the room feel like a sauna. They kept me cool throughout the night despite the odds stacked against them."

Associate Editor Lauren Gruber loves the lightly textured look of these flax linen sheets. If you're not one to sacrifice aesthetic for comfort, take heart in the dozens of color options that these airy sheets come in, so they can fit whatever color scheme you've chosen for your home. "As I'm used to sleeping on cotton or bamboo viscose sheets, I was initially skeptical that these linen sheets would feel scratchy," Gruber says. "But after washing, they immediately felt softer to the touch. Although they took some getting used to, I ended up being pleasantly surprised by how breathable and soft these sheets were. They feel like sleeping on a cozy T-shirt and my partner and I both noticed that they were more cooling than our other sheets, which was especially useful during a heat wave in New York City."
