10 Cooling Sheet Sets to Help You Sleep Comfortably Through Summer

There's nothing worse than missing out on a good night's sleep due to the heat. Thankfully, it doesn't have to be that way. These days, the super-saturated bedding market is full of innovations. We have our eye on everything from temperature-regulating mattress pads to weighted blankets that won't make you sweat, and our personal favorite: cooling sheets that make it so that you don't have to toss and turn to get comfortable.
So if you find your sheets are too hot and heavy, it may be time to ditch them and shop for something more lightweight. Natural fibers like linen and threads derived from eucalyptus and bamboo have a thinner, more breathable, and more moisture-wicking touch that can help keep your body temperature down while you catch your Zs. And many of them are more friendly to the environment, too, which is an added bonus we can all get behind.

The Best Budget Cooling Sheets
Comfort Spaces Coolmax Moisture Wicking Sheet Set ($32, originally $34)
These moisture-wicking sheets are one of the best options for hot sleepers on Amazon, with over 12,000 five-star Amazon reviews attesting how cooling, lightweight, and soft they are — and they come in as the most affordably priced option on this list. They're made of 80 percent polyester and 20 percent Coolmax microfiber, which "pulls moisture away from the skin and spreads it across the fabric," per the brand.
The Best Bamboo-Derived Cooling Sheets
Luxome Luxury Sheet Set ($160)
These sheets are made from 100 percent viscose (derived from the cellulose of bamboo) and have a 400 thread count, which is the highest bamboo viscose thread count on the market, according to the brand. These are hands down some of the most luxurious sheets for hot sleepers, and they come in 10 colors.
The Softest Cooling Sheets
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set ($292, originally $389)
Oprah Winfrey is a big fan of these sheets, and so are we. Besides being super soft and cooling, they also feature an enhanced weave design that prevents pilling and helps the product last longer, per the brand. They come in seven shades: White, Light Grey, Driftwood, Charcoal, Oat, Harbor Mist, and Sage. Plus, they come packaged in a chic canvas tote bag you'll want to wear on repeat.
The Best Midweight Linen Cooling Sheets
Quince European Linen Sheet Set ($110-$170)
One of our editors tested these midweight linen sheets and said she loves them so much she'll "never go back to cotton." Those looking for a cooling yet cozy linen sheet set for hot sleepers will likely adore these sheets because they're "heavy but breathable," she wrote, adding that "they get softer with each wash" and she "never got too hot or too cold."

The Best Cooling Cotton Sheets
Brooklinen Classic Core Sheet Set ($129-$152, originally $179)
In our opinion, the best Brooklinen sheet set for hot sleepers is the Classic Core Sheet Set. These sheets are great for hot sleepers looking for a luxury-hotel-sheet feel, thanks to their 100-percent long-staple-cotton composition and 270-thread-count weave. The set comes in numerous colors and patterns that will keep you cool all night long.
The Best Lyocell Cooling Sheets
Casper Hyperlite Sheets ($118, originally $139)
If you're an extra-hot sleeper and all the linens and cotton you've tried just feel too heavy, then these sheets deserve a spot on your radar. They truly feel like air, are made with 100 percent Tencel Lyocell from wood pulp, and have a 200 thread count. The sheet design features "vent-like structures that increase airflow," says the brand. Choose from a total of five colors.
The Best Eucalyptus-Derived Cooling Sheets
Buffy Breeze Sheet Set ($157-$169, originally $199)
The name says it all with these breezy cool sheets. The set is made from Tencel derived from eucalyptus, which feels cool to the touch, and boasts a 300 thread count. It's also a great choice for the environment because eucalyptus is grown with 10 times less water than cotton. The same goes for its colored fabrics, dyed with OEKO-TEX-certified botanic dyes.

You've likely come across the stylish and comfy Parachute linen sheet set on your Instagram feed.

The sheets come in a wide range of hues and are made of 100 percent European flax, which should keep you comfortable through the night for years.
The Best Deep-Pocket Cooling Sheets
Brooklyn Bedding Deep Pocket Bamboo Cotton Sheets ($119, originally $159)
These sheets are made with rayon from bamboo, an amazingly breathable moisture-wicking fabric. Its deeper pockets can fit thicker mattresses, up to 17 inches. The soft material will help promote airflow and comfort all night, while its hypoallergenic materials promote an antimicrobial sleep environment that's gentle on sensitive skin.
The Best Organic OEKO-TEX-Certified Cooling Sheets
Bella Coterie Luxury Queen Bamboo Sheet Set ($125, originally $150)
This sheet set is made from organically grown bamboo viscose and has been tested and certified to be free of over 100 harmful chemicals.
