Brimming with beach vacations and sidewalk spritzes, summer is fabulous by almost every measure – save for one very important detail: sleep. ‘It’s too hot,’ we mutter to ourselves, August, circa 3 a.m., kicking the covers off only to pull them back on five minutes later. Our bodies want to cool down; our brains, meanwhile, still insist on the ritual of bed sheets and blankets. Apparently, we're all just toddlers at bedtime.
Living in a central-AC-less Manhattan apartment myself, this dilemma is why I'm probably more excited than anyone about Cozy Earth’s new Cotton Gauze Throw. Ethereally airy and ultra-breathable, it offers the psychological comfort of sleeping under a blanket with less chance of overheating. It’s essentially the goldilocks-of-a-summer bedding layer we’ve been missing.
