When I say I'm a hot sleeper, I mean it. For a while there, it really impacted my sleep quality. I would swelter for what felt like hours before I slept, and I woke up in a sweat most mornings. Eventually, I got sick of sizzling, and I ordered some of the best cooling sheets on Amazon to arrive as soon as possible.

My cotton percale sheets have changed the game. Naturally thermoregulating and moisture-wicking, my sheets keep me cool and dry all year round, all night long. Out of all the bed sheet types, natural fibers are best for hot sleepers. Hot sleepers should always sleep under cotton, bamboo, and eucalyptus blends, while the rest of us could do with a cooling sheet set for summer.

As H&G's resident sleep writer, I lead a team of expert testers to find the world's best bed sheets. Over the years, I've learned what to look for in a set of the best cooling sheets: natural fibers; breathable weaves; and a reasonable price point. That's why I'm pleased to see so many of the best cooling sheet sets listed for less in the Prime Day bedding sales.

Cooling sheets FAQs

Do cooling sheets actually work?

We've written an entire article answering the question: 'do cooling bed sheets really work?' Spoiler alert: yes, they do, if you buy the right set. As a hot sleeper, I've had the most luck with the Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set. Each flat sheet, fitted sheet, and pillowcase feels cool to the touch and soft against your skin. Cozy Earth is running their own site-wide sale from 8-9 October, so now is the perfect time to snap up some cooling sheets for less.

For every great sheet set I test, there are a few duds. I've sampled several sheet sets that claim to be cooling, but actually incorporate synthetic materials that trap heat and retain moisture. It's always worth reading the customer reviews on Amazon to assess the thermoregulation of a sheet set before you buy.

What are the best type of sheets to keep you cool?

The best bedding materials for hot sleepers are bamboo, eucalyptus, or cotton percale. Naturally thermoregulating and moisture-wicking, these materials can dissipate heat and absorb sweat to keep you cool and comfortable. Bamboo and eucalyptus are also antimicrobial, built to bust the bacteria that breeds in hot, damp environments.

If you tend to sleep cool in the winter and warm in the summer, then you might not want to sleep under cooling sheets all year round. You could always pick up some of the best linen sheets as a spare set for summer. Linen is light and breezy, capable of keeping you cool through hot weather and heat waves.


Once you've bought a set of the best cooling sheets, it's time to dress the rest of your bed. Layer the best cooling mattress protector between your bed and your body to safeguard against sweat, spills, and stains, or cover up with the best cooling comforter. If you've tried everything, and you're still not sleeping well, it might be time to switch out your bed for the best cooling mattress.
