If you find yourself kicking off the covers at 2am or waking up drenched in sweat, you're a hot sleeper — and your bedding choices matter more than most. ## Why Some People Sleep Hot Body temperature naturally drops during sleep, but some people generate more heat than others due to metabolism, hormones, or room temperature. The right bedding can make a significant difference. ## Best Fabrics for Hot Sleepers - **Bamboo** — The top choice. Moisture-wicking, breathable, and naturally thermoregulating. Bamboo sheets feel cool to the touch all night. - **Linen** — Highly breathable with a loose weave that promotes airflow. - **Percale Cotton** — Crisp, cool weave that doesn't trap heat. ## Fabrics to Avoid - **Microfiber** — Traps heat and moisture. - **Sateen Cotton** — The tight weave retains more warmth. - **Flannel** — Great for winter, terrible for hot sleepers year-round. ## Other Tips for Cooler Sleep 1. Keep your duvet tog rating at 4.5–7 during warmer months. 2. Use a single flat sheet instead of a duvet in peak summer. 3. Keep the bedroom between 16–19°C for optimal sleep temperature. 4. Consider a cooling mattress protector alongside breathable sheets. Sleep cool, sleep deep. Browse our bamboo and linen collections today.
