Are you someone who can't stay cool all night no matter how hot the temperature is outside? It might be time to turn to cooling bed sheets. Sustainable, airy fabrics like silk, eucalyptus, bamboo, organic cotton, and other plant-based materials absorb moisture and prevent heat flashes. “High-quality fibers act as natural temperature regulators, making sheets cool and breathable in the summer and warm and insulating in the winter,” said Penny Murphy, president of Pioneer Linen. say.
Some fabrics are naturally cooling, while certain designs and weaves can also help regulate your body temperature if you're too hot to sleep. “Percale is a type of fiber weave that affects the feel of the fabric,” says Elm N. Ilyas, MD, MBE, FAAD, a dermatologist and functional fibers expert. Although typically made of 100% cotton, percale's construction utilizes a criss-cross weave, making the fabric lightweight and breathable. This type of sheet is perfect for people who live in warmer climates or who simply don't like the heat.
