Do Cooling Sheets & Bedding Work To Keep You Cool?

With warmer temperatures, getting a good night's sleep can be challenging. This is especially true for those who are naturally hot sleepers or those experiencing hot flashes, such as menopausal women. The idea of cooling sheets promises a solution, but do they really work to keep you cool? Let's delve into the science behind cooling sheets and how fabric innovations are transforming bedtime comfort.

The Science Behind Cooling Sheets

Moisture-Wicking

For hot sleepers, being sweaty comes with the territory and is why cooling sheets and bedding must effectively manage sweat through moisture-wicking properties. Performance fabrics like nylon and rayon excel in this area, helping regulate body temperature by keeping you dry.

Heat Dissipation

Another crucial aspect of cooling bedding is a fabric's ability to dissipate heat. Some materials, like polyester and microfiber trap heat (and moisture), making you feel warmer and clammy from night sweats. Cooling sheets, on the other hand, are designed to release heat, maintaining a cooler sleeping environment through advanced materials and innovative weaving techniques.

Breathability

Breathability in cooling sheets allow air to circulate, which helps dissipate body heat. Breathable fabrics like cotton and linen are popular options, but are not inherently cooling as they don’t use special fabric technology to achieve that “cool” feeling.

Best Cooling Technology for Bedding: Evercool®

Engineered to keep hot sleepers cool and comfortable all night, Rest developed Evercool®, which introduced the industry’s original cooling comforter and represents the forefront of bedding technology. According to a Good Housekeeping review, the Evercool® Cooling Comforter is a "breakthrough for hot sleepers," praised for its cooling capabilities and described as "actually feels cold to the touch."

Proprietary Fabric

Evercool® fabric is a unique blend specifically chosen for its cooling properties. Unlike traditional materials, Evercool® fibers are ultra-breathable and moisture-wicking, ensuring optimal air circulation and designed for people who experience night sweats. This blend provides a dry sleeping surface that’s also supremely cool to touch, enhancing comfort throughout the night.

Innovative Construction

The construction of Evercool® sheets and bedding enhances breathability and heat dissipation through its special weave. The capillary-like microstructures create small air pockets within the fabric, quickly drawing heat and sweat away from the body. With their Moisture Management Tester, Good Housekeeping Textiles Lab noted the fabric outperformed other cooling bedding, cementing the Evercool® as the best cooling comforter for hot sleepers, as confirmed by numerous reviews.

Real-World Testimonials

The effectiveness of Evercool® sheets is backed by real-world experiences. Good Housekeeping testers highlighted how the comforter "provided much-needed relief" and prevented them from waking up "drenched in sweat,” underscoring the cooling comforter’s impressive moisture-wicking and cooling abilities.
