Now, what’s cooler than being cool? (Ice cold!)

Promising review: "I finally decided to try the purple pillow figuring with the honeycomb design that it might stay comfortable and keep me cool. I wished I had bought this pillow years ago. This is probably the most comfortable pillow I've ever had. Plus, this pillow has kept me extremely cool at night. This is the first summer I've been able to sleep all night without waking up drenched in sweat. While the pillow is fairly pricy compared to every other pillow you buy in stores, replacing them every year or so adds up and ends up costing more than this pillow. I am firmly sold on Purple." —Daniel

Get it on Amazon for $209 (available in three thicknesses).

Includes: one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two pillowcases

Promising review: "For several months my husband was having terrible night sweats, which would wake him up during the night. I read about these Cozy Earth sheets helping with night sweats and keeping you cool. The first night I put them on the bed he slept all night, and he continues to sleep much better. I also must say they are so so soft and silky feeling. We both love them." —Seawave 

Get it from Amazon for $258+ (available in sizes twin–California king and nine colors).

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Elegear cooling blanket for a few nights now, and I’m honestly impressed. The fabric feels incredibly soft and cool to the touch right away. It’s lightweight but still cozy enough to sleep comfortably without overheating.

I usually get too warm at night, especially during summer, but this blanket really helps regulate temperature and keeps me feeling fresh throughout the night. The quality also feels premium, and I love that it folds compactly and looks elegant.

Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with hot nights or night sweats. Great value for the price!" —Nataliia

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in five sizes and 13 colors).

Promising review: "The purpose of me buying this was to help reduce the use of our air conditioning when temperatures start to rise where we live in the desert. Instead of running the air conditioning for the whole home at three degrees cooler at night consumes a lot of energy, especially when temperature starts going over 90 degrees in the spring and all the way beyond 120 degrees in the summer months. Our monthly bill already exceeds $300 a month during the hottest months. We've also done a number of upgrades to our home to make it more energy efficient which has helped tremendously reduce the electric bill down from almost $500 at its highest. So far, my wife and I have noticed we are getting a better, deeper sleep, especially my wife who likes it extra cold. I'm shocked that I'm able to keep the temperature of the house warmer at night without disturbing her sleep. Thank you 8 Sleep for designing a well thought out product with so many bells and whistles. The vibrating alarm is pretty cool, including the App, and the whole design of each component and packaging." —Travis R. 

Get it from Eight Sleep for $2,799+ (available in four sizes).

Includes: one fitted sheet, two pillowcases (one with twin set), and with or without a flat sheet

Promising review: "The Classic Organic Percale Fitted Sheet Set is crisp, clean, and very cooling. While it’s not as silky soft as bamboo sheets, it has that classic percale feel that stays breathable and comfortable all night. It’s great for warmer sleepers or anyone who prefers a cooler, more structured sheet." —Danielle

Get it from Quince for $59.90+ (available in sizes twin–California king, 10 solid colors, five patterns, and with or without a flat sheet).

Promising review: "At first, I wasn’t sure if an ultra-thin blanket could make me feel cozy while keeping me cool at the same time, but it absolutely does! We live right on the Intracoastal in Miami, and the summer heat and humidity are intense.

Because my wife can’t sleep with the noise of a dehumidifier, I used to wake up absolutely drenched in sweat. Not anymore! This blanket’s incredible moisture-wicking technology keeps me perfectly dry all night.

I chose the gorgeous lavender color for our bedroom, and it is a total keeper. It’s unbelievably cool to the touch and an absolute must-purchase!" —Dr. Thomas Luke, Ph.D.

Get it from Amazon for $149.25+ (available in sizes twin–California king and six colors).

Promising review: "I can say without a doubt this is the BEST body pillow that I have ever used in my life. Everything about it just feels high quality and after a few nights of using it I swear I was already feeling a lot better and my sleep quality increased so much. The best part about it though is the cooling…I have tried a number of body pillows and this by FAR is the best there is no competition. The best part is that it actually stays cold all night long, unlike other “cooling” products that just feel hot again after an hour or so. Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking to get better colder sleep!" —Mike 

Get it from Amazon for $189+ (available in two sizes).

Includes: one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with twin).

Promising review: "As someone who gets hot easily when I am sleeping, these sheets keep me cool all night and are very comfortable. I am not waking up in the night because I am hot. That factor alone gets five stars from me! And while they’re not quite as soft as my previous sheet set, they are not scratchy like I expected them to be." —BEX

Get it from Amazon for $109.23+ (available in sizes twin–California king and 19 colors).

Includes: one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases

Promising review: "These sheets have deep pockets on the fitted sheet to easily fit the mattress, with no slipping off. They come out of the dryer with few wrinkles. They’re soft and they are quite comfortable even in hot Georgia summers." —Ga Girl 

Get it from L.L. Bean for $130+ (available in sizes twin–California king and 11 colors). 

Promising reviews: "These sheets are the softest, lightest sheets I’ve ever slept under. I’ve never had any brand of linen sheets before. These sheets were delivered yesterday. I threw them in the washer and dryer and then made up the bed. They don’t look like they would be as soft and comfortable as they are, but they are so amazing, I ordered another set today! So earthy and natural. I’ve shopped around, and these are very reasonable. Buy them. You will not regret it!" —Catherine S Kuehn

"I just got a king size basic Lilac linen sheets. The color is as expected. They appear to be high quality and fit on my bed perfectly. I normally use 100% cotton but I heard these are better. Time will tell. They appear to be a great price. It is the heat of the summer here and these are so cooling. I've had them a month and so far...I LOVE them!" —Bonnie

Get it from Amazon for $90.50+ (available in sizes twin–California king, various multi-piece sets, and 17 colors).

Promising review: "I love this mattress pad. It's very well made. It has a substantial amount of cushion to just add extra comfort on top of your mattress. It stays cool and doesn't overheat. I was very pleased that it had no smell. It's better made than quite a few mattress pads that I have bought in the past. It has just the right amount of cushion that you can feel it, and yet it's not too soft so that it causes you more back pain, as I struggle with back pain. I highly recommend it. It fits my deep mattress easily and stays put. This one is just so much nicer than all of the others. I highly recommend it. It's a fantastic mattress topper!!!" —planetblonde

Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in sizes twin–king).

Promising review: "I have neck issues and sleep hot and constantly have to flip or turn my pillow during the night. I'm a side sleeper and I've spent hundreds of dollars trying to find a pillow that keeps my head cool and still supports my head and neck without being too firm. Tried everything; contour, gel top, Sealy, off brand with little relief. This Casper Snow Hybrid is the best! This was well worth the price!!!!" —Lori H

Get it from Amazon for $143+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "I look forward to the weather getting warmer and sleeping in the comfort of this cooler fabric. One of the most difficult things about being in warmer weather has always been trying to sleep. This wonderful, breathable fabric will make sleeping much easier." —Bergolympia

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in seven sizes and 40 colors and patterns).

Includes: one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one for twin)

Promising review: "I love these sheets! They don’t feel the way you would expect cotton sheets to feel…soft and fluffy. Instead, they are, for lack of better description, crisp! This almost deterred me from using them because I am sensitive to the way things feel on my skin, but I decided I would try. OMG I LOVE THEM!!! I run hot when I sleep (thanks middle-age), and these sheets help keep my cool! I actually don’t want to go back to my “softer” cotton sheets now. The first time I crawled in bed with them, not gonna lie, it felt weird. I wasn’t so sure. When I woke up, my mind was completely changed. I love them. It’s all I want to use now." —Lodimac

Get it from Amazon for $34.85+ (available in sizes twin–California king and in a variety of styles).

Promising review: "I bought this for my college-aged son, who sleeps incredibly hot. He loved the duvet and has been asking for other colors. So glad he is enjoying the comfort and as a mom I have peace of mind knowing its made from the best materials which are eco-friendly." —Amber

Get it from The Citizenry for $191 (originally $239; available in eight colors).

Includes: fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (except in styles that indicate otherwise)

Promising review: "So glad I made this purchase right before a heatwave pushed temperatures in our area above 95 degrees several days in a row. Despite our home being 5–10 degrees warmer than we prefer at night, these sheets have kept us cool and sweat-free for over a week!" —Carolyn D. 

Get it from Buffy for $119.20+ (originally $149+; available in sizes twin–California king and 40 colors) 

Supima cotton is more durable due to its extra-long staple fibers. Read more about Supima here.

Includes: one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one for twin).

Promising review: "These will be the only sheets I purchase unless someone can show me a better set with a higher thread count and thicker/denser material!!!! It has really been a chore to find these sheets, but they are amazing. They are thick! Heavy duty! We love that feel! They are cool, are great quality, fit my bed great, and they make for a great night's sleep. If you like densely made sheets, these are for you. Do you know what a canvas tarp is? That’s how I like my sheets. I don’t like those thin and poorly made sheets that feel like wore-out underwear." —Liz

Get it from Amazon for $138.53+ (available in sizes full–California king and 11 colors).

Promising review: "This blanket is PERFECT in every way for hot summer nights! It cools with the slightest weight under a sheet. I don't know how I ever slept without it (oh, some nights I didn't sleep!)" —Theresa G. 

Get it from Cozy Earth for $98+ (available in five sizes and five colors). 

Promising review: "This cooling blanket is absolutely divine! I have always run hot but especially during my postpartum days with night sweats and additional hormone fluctuations. This blanket provides so much comfort and most importantly, helps me get the rest I need. Our kiddos even love it during the hot summer days. I would absolutely recommend!" —Alexa Osborne

Get it from Yana Sleep for $129 (available in two colors). 

Promising review: "This pillow is great for hot sleepers, I don't have to keep flipping it to find the cool side." —Michelle

Get it from Bedgear for $299.99+ (available in two sizes and four heights)

Promising review: "This silk duvet has been an absolute game-changer for my summer nights! I used to struggle with night sweats that completely disrupted my sleep, but ever since I started using this duvet, I've been cool and comfortable all night along. The silk is so incredibly soft and smooth, making it feel luxurious against my skin. It's also lightweight, so I never feel weighted down or overheated.One of the best things about this duvet is how breathable it is. It really helps regulate my body temperature-changing properties, and this duvet definitely lives up to that reputation

Another surprise was how easy it is to care for. I was initially worried about maintenance, but it's machine-washable, which makes it so convenient.

If you're someone who gets hot while sleeping, I highly recommend giving this duvet a try. It's made a world of difference for me, and I'm sure it will for you too! You won't regret it!" —Helen

Get it from Amazon for $209.30+ (available in two sizes and eight colors). 

Promising review: "This one is noticeably cooler than the memory foam I used to use. This is an excellent product for comfort and temperature regulation." —Constantin V.

Get it from Brooklyn Bedding for $232.40+ (originally $332+; available in sizes twin–California king) 

Includes: one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases

Promising review: "Bought the Brooklinen Percale sheets, both queen and king sizes 10 months ago. They've stood up thru weekly washing and constant use. No pilling, or visible wear. Very cool for hot summer nights and even for sleepers who like to pile on the blankets in winter. Percale sheets are extremely comfy and this brand is a keeper. 💯"—KCassell

Get it from Amazon for $159+ (available in sizes twin–California king and eight colors).

Promising review: "Every night, especially in the summer, I had to turn over the pillows many times at night. The heat generated from laying on the pillow seemed unbearable (it didn't seem to bother me in the winter though). I was wondering if there was any solution to it. I started to research the issue and the silk pillow cases were one of the solutions. I gave it a try and what a difference. I do not wake up at night to turn the pillows. I am glad I decided to replace cotton pillow cases with the silk ones. I received the silk pillow cases very fast and they were exactly what I have expected. The silk is a great quality and I hope to enjoy my silk pillowcases for a long long time. Now I am thinking about replacing my summer cotton bedding with a silk one!" —Lucas

Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in three colors and 14 colors). 

Promising review: "It really cools. I bought the twin-size as a throw since I’m the one who was hot at night with hot flashes. It is recommended not to wash in warm water or dry warm heat, as it will cause the cooling tech to change. It feels soft like a nylon and spandex mix — very light. I would buy this again for a person with hot sweats. :)" —Donna M

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in five sizes and eight colors).

Includes: one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one for Twin).

Promising review: "I love these sheets. They're a thicker cotton, that's softened with washing, yet still has a crisp cotton feel...like old fashioned sheets. There's been no tearing or pin holes after several washes (as I've had with BedSure brand). They are breathable, and seasonably versatile. They stayed cool in summer, yet provide a layer of warmth on cooler fall nights.

The fitted sheet depth is just right on my 12 inches thick, queen mattress, with a thick pad." —DM
