Your comforter could be causing you to wake up covered in sweat. Luckily, many brands are making bedding that’s optimized for heat. Switching to a cooling comforter made of the right lightweight materials and even a cool-to-the-touch cover can make a huge difference for hot sleepers. It’s time to ditch that old comforter that’s trapping your body heat and leaving you damp with sweat.
Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter in Ivory.
The best overall cooling comforter
The Rest Evercool Cooling Comforter is my top pick for the best cooling comforter due to its truly cool-to-the-touch feel, comfort, color options, weight and moisture-wicking properties. During my testing, I found that it kept me dry at night — a very important aspect for a hot sleeper like myself.
How we tested the best cooling comforters
During my testing, I considered each comforter’s materials, feel, weight, cooling properties, size and price. I then used one comforter a night, in addition to some daytime lounging. My own comforter consists of a light duvet insert and a white duvet cover. During my testing, I didn’t put a duvet cover over any of the comforters (honestly, most don’t need a cover). Note that if you opt for a duvet cover, the cool-to-the-touch sensation may be affected.
You won’t find a comforter, duvet or blanket that will stay ice cold for the entire night, but these cooling comforters contain temperature-neutral materials that won’t retain any of your body heat. Some have a cool-to-touch feel that I’ve noted below, but be aware that these comforters won’t feel that cool all night.

Factors to consider when choosing a cooling comforter
-
Material
The best cooling comforters will be made out of cotton, bamboo, linen, eucalyptus and/or microfiber. Cooling covers will be made of nylon, polyester or spandex.
-
Size
Some comforters dont come in a Twin/Twin XL. However, if you want an oversized look, you can size up.
-
Thickness
Hot sleepers should look for a comforter that is lightweight and thin. However, if you prefer fluffier bedding, a thicker comforter still works as long as it contains temperature-neutral materials.
-

Bedding can be expensive. Oftentime, you can find a great quality comforter for around $150 to $250. Comforters with higher-quality materials (such as silk or bamboo) may well be over $300 or $400.

Allergies
If you have allergies or asthma, it’s important to sleep on bedding that is hypoallergenic. This can reduce your exposure to dust mites, mold and other allergens.

You can find cheap cooling comforters for around $50 on Amazon, but the higher quality comforters that will actually regulate your temperature can cost you anywhere from $150 to $300. Hot sleepers should look for cooling comforters made of materials that won’t retain heat, such as flannel, wool and down that’s not lightweight.
