As summer approaches and temperatures start to rise, it’s important to make sure that your bedroom is as cool and comfortable as possible. The right summer bedding can make such a significant difference to how you feel when you’re ready to head off to dreamland.
While you’ll definitely want something warm and snuggly in the winter, the same isn’t exactly true during the warm summer months. Let’s take a closer look at some of the best summer bedding, so you can enjoy a great night’s rest no matter how warm it is outside.
ABefore we dive into which options are the best bedding for hot weather, keep in mind that your bedroom and bedding choices should change with the seasons.
This is especially true for the two most extreme times of the year: winter and summer. While you definitely want to pile on the thick blankets and comforters during the frigid winter months, you’ll need your summer bedroom to be light, cooling, and airy. Consider washing and putting away your heavier winter bedding as soon as the temperatures start to get warmer at night. Summer is the perfect time to think about ways to refresh this space with cooler sheets and lighter blankets, and by choosing bedding made from the right materials
As the temperatures get hotter, you’ll want to choose bedding that is lightweight and breathable. If your bedding is too thick or too heavy, you may end up sweating and overheating.
Now that you know a little more about the right types of bedding for hot weather, let’s explore some other ways that you can help to make your bed nice and cool in the summer. Here are a few helpful tips that will inspire you to make your bed as cool as possible, even when it’s piping hot outside.
You might wonder whether a quilt or a comforter is a better choice for the summertime. If you sleep hot or tend to feel hot at night, then in most cases, a quilt is the better choice. Quilts are still quite soft and warm, but they’re usually much thinner than comforters yet they will still provide you with the right amount of insulation you need. And if you love to layer your bedding, then a quilt makes it a lot easier.
Due to their colorful designs and lightweight construction, you can easily add several blankets to your bed along with a quilt without making it look too bulky or overdone. A comforter is great for the winter, but it tends to be much thicker and heavier, making it a bit too much for a lot of people during the summer. When it comes to choosing bedding for hot weather, you may want to ditch the comforter until it gets cooler outside. It’s important to note that a quilt isn’t necessarily “better” than a comforter or vice versa. But using a quilt in the summer is ideal if you tend to get really hot at night and prefer something a bit thinner and lighter to help you stay cool as you sleep
The best summer bedding sets and sheets should be made of lightweight, breathable materials like organic cotton or linen. Look at the characteristics of each material to help you decide which one is right for you. It’s important to ensure that your “base layers” like your sheets and mattress cover are as cool and comfortable as possible. If you get chilly during the night, you can always add another layer by throwing another quilt or blanket on yourself. And when it comes to creating a gorgeous bedroom, our stunning stonewashed linen bedding is an excellent choice. This super-soft, breathable bedding will instantly elevate your sleeping space while also keeping you comfortable all night long.
You want to choose summer bedding that helps you remain cool, especially if you’re affected by the temperature. With linen and cotton, you can regulate the heat exchanged between your skin and the air. This ensures that you remain comfortable no matter what time of year it is. Choose sheets with the right weave to provide excellent airflow, too. Proper airflow can contribute to better, more restful sleep. Our linen bedding is made from the fibers of the flax plant which has natural moisture-wicking and thermoregulation properties.
Organic percale cotton sheets are excellent for keeping you cool and comfortable at night, too. Percale has a nice, matte finish that provides you with a crisp, cool feel whenever you slip into bed. And these summer sheets get softer with every wash while maintaining a smooth and durable composition. Percale cotton is lightweight and breathable, which makes it a perfect option for hot summer nights as well as those toasty winter evenings when you have the heat cranked up. And because they’re made from 100% organic cotton, these sheets are free from toxic chemicals, which makes them a great option for anyone with allergies or sensitive skin. They also collect a lot less dust than some other materials, while the tightly woven fabric may help to keep dust mites from getting into your sheets.
Remember these tips to help you choose the best bedding for hot weather. You don’t need to sweat and toss and turn all night, as long as you have the right bedding to keep you comfy and cool.
