Unlock the Secret to Effortless, Cool Nights: The 8 Game-Changing Comforters Hot Sleepers Swear By This Summer

We already named My Sheets Rock’s Regulator set one of the best cooling sheets, and this comforter uses the same bamboo-rayon fabric for its shell. That means bamboo pulp has been processed into a silky, breathable textile that feels smoother than cotton. The fill is bamboo rayon, too. It’s a good middle ground for hot sleepers who still want a comforter with some substance—not a glorified top sheet.

At $249 for a Full/Queen, this is one of the pricier picks on our list. At least you won’t have to hide it inside a duvet cover: It comes in nine colors, including navy and burgundy. The comforter is machine washable, and the 90-day trial gives you time to decide whether the cooling payoff justifies the price.

At around $30 for a queen, the Downcool is easily one of the cheapest ways to make your bed more summer-friendly. There’s no fancy cooling technology here. It’s simply a thin, soft comforter that won’t smother you under layers of fill. Both the shell and interior are polyester, though, so very sweaty sleepers may want something more breathable.

For the price, it feels surprisingly well put together. The box stitching keeps the fill evenly distributed, and we found plenty of reviews praising how well the seams hold up. Four corner loops secure it inside a duvet cover. It’s machine washable, too—use cold water and dry it on low.

Most cooling comforters lose warmth by cutting down on fill. That doesn’t work when your partner wants to sleep super cozy. The Buffy Breeze gives the hot sleeper moisture-managing Tencel lyocell and gives the other person enough heft to feel tucked in. The silky fiber comes from eucalyptus pulp and helps move sweat away from the body.

The wavy stitching looks cleaner than traditional box quilting, so you can skip the duvet cover. That may be preferable anyway: Buffy recommends spot cleaning or dry cleaning instead of tossing it in the wash. At $250 for a full/queen, it’s a splurge, but the 50-night return window gives you plenty of time to see if it works for both sides of the bed.

Brooklinen makes its down comforter in three weights, but hot sleepers should choose the lightweight version. It uses 600-fill-power Canadian down for loft without as much weight, and the cotton sateen shell feels soft and breathable.

Down requires more upkeep than a synthetic fill. Brooklinen recommends washing this comforter in a large commercial machine because wet down can strain a home washer. It costs more than most down-alternative options, though proper care can help extend its life.

The SlumberCloud UltraCool pillow is one of the best cooling pillows out there, so it stands to reason that the brand would also make a cooling comforter that is also out of this world.

An upgraded replacement for SlumberCloud’s fan-fave Performance comforter, the UltraCool’s outer fabric is made with cooling nylon and spandex and filled with NASA-grade temperature regulation fibers. These help your body stay cool and dry all night long.

Made with a mix of fabrics, the Rest Evercool blanket is cooling, silky smooth, and hypoallergenic. The lightweight blanket is filled with a combination of Tencel, a wood-based material, and Sorona, a synthetic fiber made partly with plant-derived ingredients.

Plus, it’s pup-friendly too. If your dog or cat tends to overheat in the warmer months, they won’t mind wrapping themselves up in the Evercool Cooling Blanket. Bonus: Your pet’s fur will bounce right off.
