Summer sleep can get uncomfortable fast when your bedding traps heat. The fix is not always a colder room. Often, it is a lighter, more breathable bedding setup.
Switch the sheets first
Sheets sit closest to your skin, so they usually make the biggest difference. Breathable cotton, Pima cotton, percale weaves, and temperature-regulating sheet sets are all strong summer options.
Use a quilt instead of a heavy comforter
If your comforter feels too warm, try a quilt or lighter layer during warmer months. Quilts give the bed shape and texture without as much bulk.
Keep a throw nearby
A throw at the foot of the bed gives you a flexible layer for cooler mornings or air-conditioned rooms without forcing you under one heavy blanket all night.
Do not ignore the pillow
If your pillow traps heat around your head and neck, the whole bed can feel warmer. Breathable covers and supportive pillows can make summer sleep easier.
