Studies show that people who sleep at cooler temperatures actually have longer, deeper sleeps, and one of the easiest ways to stay cool at night is by making sure you have the right sheets. The best cooling sheets have a low thread count, are breathable, moisture-wicking, or thermoregulating, and are made from materials like cotton, bamboo, linen, Tencel, or eucalyptus.
Sheets come in a wide range of fabrics, but Alex Savy, a certified sleep science coach and the CEO & Founder of Sleeping Ocean, tells Mic that “the top four materials for cooling sheets are linen, cotton, Tencel, and bamboo.” He explains that “these materials are typically more breathable and moisture-wicking than others making them the preferred choice for the majority of consumers.”
