Experts Say This Bedding Seriously Helps When It's Hot — "It Absorbs 50% More Moisture Than Cotton," and Has a Subtle Sheen That Looks so Luxe

Bedroom with timber side table, black table lamp, and vase of flowers, cream walls, a grey headboard, white sheets, olive cushions, and fabric wardrobe doors.

Sleeping in the heat is hard. Fans, of course, help, but a lot of it comes down to the bedding material you choose. And while linen has long been favored thanks to its naturally breathable weave, there's another fabric that experts are increasingly recommending for hot weather: TENCEL™ bedding.

“TENCEL™ is a naturally derived material that really helps regulate your body temperature as you sleep,” explains Georgia Metcalfe, founder and creative director at French Bedroom. “It’s sourced from the eucalyptus tree and is made of teeny tiny fibers which absorb 50% more moisture than cotton, keeping your body cooler whilst you sleep.”
