In brief
Hot sleepers find relief with these 15 cooling sheets tested for breathability and moisture-wicking. Hot sleepers can improve sleep quality with cooling sheets that regulate temperature and reduce night sweats. Originally reported by New York Post.
Hot sleepers struggle with overheating
Even with AC and breathable duvets, hot sleepers often wake up sweating due to body heat buildup.
“I know the feeling firsthand, as I typically drape a cozy blanket across the bottom of my mattress in an effort to not overheat (but, sure enough, it still takes me about a good half-hour to fall asleep soundly on most nights).”
Cooling sheets ranked for hot sleepers
The New York Post tested 15 cooling sheets for breathability, moisture-wicking and temperature regulation.
“Enter my review of the best cooling sheets. While sheets are marketed to be "cooling," I put them to a true test (there was even a thermometer involved) to evaluate how they initially felt to the touch before using them, how they held up overnight and more.”
Best cooling sheets overall
Slumber Cloud Performance Cotton Sheet Set offers exceptional cooling technology and fits mattresses up to 16 inches deep.
“The Slumber Cloud Performance Cotton Sheet Set delivers on its promise from the very first touch. From the moment I unboxed them to the first full night’s sleep, the experience felt like a genuine step toward better rest.”

What to look for in cooling sheets
Look for high thread count, breathable materials, moisture-wicking properties and temperature regulation.
