The best cooling bedding for hot sleepers keeps every layer that touches you cool, rather than only one. A cooling sheet under a warm comforter still leaves you kicking the covers off. Sleephoria Cooling uses one cool-to-the-touch fabric across the sheets, pillowcases and comforter, so the whole bed draws heat away from your body through the night. If you can only start with one piece, start with the sheet set; it is the layer with the most skin contact.

A complete cooling bed set from Sleephoria is the cooling sheet set (fitted sheet, flat sheet and pillowcases), extra cooling pillowcases if you use more than two pillows, and the cooling comforter on top. A cooling fitted sheet on its own is available as a spare or as a base layer under bedding you already own. Each piece is sold separately so you can build the set in the order that suits you.

Yes, and they work better together than either does alone. The sheets keep the surface you lie on cool. The comforter keeps the layer over you from trapping heat. With both, there is no warm side to the bed, which is what most hot sleepers are looking for when they search for cooling bedding sets.

Start with the cooling sheet set. The fitted sheet is the layer with the most skin contact, so it does most of the cooling work, and the pillowcases in the set cool the second most important spot, your face. If your problem is specifically the covers rather than the mattress surface, start with the cooling comforter instead.

All Sleephoria cooling bedding is machine washable. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Skip fabric softener and dryer sheets, which coat the fibers and can dull the cool feel. The fabric is quick drying, wrinkle resistant and colorfast, so it comes out of the dryer ready for the bed. Care details for each product are in its Materials & Care section.
