This $19 ALDI Sheet Set Is Designed to Keep Hot Sleepers Cool – It’s the Affordable Upgrade Your Bedroom Needs This Summer
Temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and machine-washable, it makes a worthy addition to your sheet rotation this summer
As the Sleep Editor for Homes & Gardens, I've learned that cooling bedding is usually expensive. Often made with premium materials to guarantee temperature regulation, breathability, and moisture-wicking, they are a significant investment for something you may only use for a few months per year.
So, when I spotted a rival to our best budget cooling sheets - the Martha Stewart Sheet Set from Amazon - in the ALDI's KIRKTON HOUSE Sheet Set, which includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases for just $19.99, I was more than impressed.
For just a fraction of the price of the best cooling sheets, it's one of the most affordable options I've ever seen for serene summer sleep − and it's perfect for guest bedrooms, too.
This ALDI proves the best bed sheets don't have to be extortionate. They're moisture-wicking, machine-washable, and fit mattresses up to 17" deep.
Keeping a bed cool in summer can feel like a tall order. Between heavy bedding, heat-trapping sheets, and fluff-filled pillows, it's no surprise, particularly in homes without air conditioning.
That said, the power of cooling bedding cannot be disputed − and if you're looking to invest without the usually attached high price tag, look no further than the KIRKTON HOUSE Queen Temperature Regulating Sheet Set, available at ALDI.
Made of OEKO-TEX-certified polyester (a necessary departure from cottons or linens in terms of a low price point), these sheets are moisture-wicking, keeping you cool and dry all night long, and it's effortlessly easy to wash, dry, and care for this bed linen, too.
As they're designed to fit mattresses up to 17 inches deep, they'll also stay firmly in place once you've made the bed and as you sleep, without any slipping or sliding.
Design expertise in your inbox – from inspiring decorating ideas and beautiful celebrity homes to practical gardening advice and shopping round-ups.
All of these features also make this particular sheet set perfect when preparing a guest room in summer. At just $19.99, you can pick up a few sets to rotate as family members and friends come and go throughout the warmer months, and keep one spare for last-minute guests when al-fresco dinner parties turn into late nights spent catching up and relaxing outdoors.

Come summer, I always switch my duvet insert for a flat sheet. Percale is one of the best materials for cooling bedding, with a one-over-one-under weave that ensures optimal breathability. These sheets are available in 10 different colors and patterns, but this white with blue stripes is my favorite of all.
After trying this fan out in their own home, our former Home Tech Editor and Contributing Writer, Dan Fauzi, wrote, 'Corded or cordless, tabletop or pedestal, indoors or outdoors, this portable fan is the best fan we've ever tested, offering strong airflow and unique features that set it apart from all others.'
Silk pillows are favored for far more than just their cooling abilities, but they really are one of the best options for that 'just-flipped' pillow feel in warmer weather. I tested and love this one from Slip, which is made from one hundred percent long- fiber Mulberry silk, yet is machine washable and easy to care for.
Keeping cool doesn't just come down to your sheets and covers: Your actual pillows and comforters are just as important. This cooling pillow features a cleverly adjustable loft and firmness and is filled with shredded memory foam to allow air to circulate within the pillow as you sleep.
Made of a patented BlendTek material: A combination of 69% nylon, 20% polyester, 11% spandex, these cooling sheets feel instantly cool to the touch and provide long-lasting all-night refreshment. The 360° elastic band helps to keep the fitted sheet securely in place for a neat and comfortable fit
Linen is my favorite bedding material year-round, but it really does come into its own during the summer months, and not only because it reminds me of European holidays in Greece. These sheets are luxuriously thick and textured, but the addition of cotton also makes them sumptuously smooth and soft.
For more affordable bedding picks for summer heatwaves, browsing the best Amazon cooling sheets is another brilliant way to make hot summer nights more comfortable and enjoy the benefits of conveniently quick delivery.
