Those who run hot in the night no longer have to suffer through it with stifling sheets. The best cooling sheets are made from a variety of silky-smooth fabrics designed to wick away heat and moisture, they help regulate your body temperature, and they keep you feeling generally chilled out all night long.
The most important thing to consider before buying a set of cooling sheets is the material. Instead of cotton percale or sateen, look for cooling sheets that are made from bamboo, Tencel, and even polyester that's been enhanced with cooling fibers. The thread count is typically lower in these types of sheets (if it's even listed at all), which gives the material a looser fit and allows more air to pass through than a tight, high-thread-count weave.
Cooling sheets tend to feel similar to workout clothes, since the objective of cooling and moisture-wicking is the same in both products. As a result, the sheets' texture is typically soft, slinky, breathable, pliable, and basically the opposite of crisp. Keep this in mind, as the floppier look may be a change from what you're used to with cotton sheets.
All of the cooling sheet sets in this guide are available in sizes twin through California king and many come in a wide spectrum of colors to match your space. Selected in a range of material options for every budget and textural preference, check out the 10 best cooling sheets you can buy.

• Material: Cotton and Outlast blend • Color options: 8
This set of cooling sheets from Slumber Cloud may feel just like regular cotton sheets, but they have a hidden special feature.
These are woven with Outlast fibers, which have been shown to absorb excess heat and then release it to help the sleeper maintain a comfortable body temperature. Even Good Housekeepingtouts this set for both its softness and effectiveness.
If you're looking for bedding that feels incredibly soft and cool, check out Layla's Bamboo Sheets — they're some of the most effective cooling sheets that I've ever tested.
Made of bamboo-derived viscose, the sheets are soft and pliable and have a very slinky (but not stretchy) feel. Cooling factor aside, it's a pleasant material to have against your face and covering your body while you sleep.
The Layla Bamboo Sheets are more casual than crisp, but if comfort and a cooling feel are more important than looks, I highly recommend this set.
If you value comfort over thread count, Tuft & Needle's jersey sheets are the cooling sheets of your dreams. Just like you'd reach for this type of material to wear on a hot day, the sheets' super soft and relaxed fabric is loose and breathable, and a total pleasure to sleep with.
This high-quality sheet set is exceptionally affordable, too. Even the largest available size is under $100!
These bamboo cooling sheets are a vegan-friendly alternative to silk with the same slinky feel. Requiring less water to construct than cotton, bamboo sheets are also a little more Earth-friendly.
Reviewers tout their exceptional softness, calling them everything from “cloud-like” to “creamy”!
The name says it all. The bamboo-derived sheets from My Sheets Rock are the answer to a hot sleeper’s prayers, with a light, breathable drape and a stretchy, casual feel. They are well worth the investment for their durability and “breeziness,” says one reviewer.
If you're interested in trying out cooling sheets and you don't want to lose any sleep over the price, this lightweight and breathable bamboo-fabric set from Amazon is a great starter option. Plus, the relaxed fabric is also touted as being wrinkle-free.
Not only is this the budget-friendliest set of cooling sheets, but they also come in an expansive color range.
Pretty much any bedding set turns into cooling sheets when you have this cooling mattress protector from Brooklyn Bedding. It functions in the same way that a regular one would, providing a hypoallergenic, waterproof barrier between your sheets and your mattress. However, this one is woven with a proprietary heat-wicking component that feels refreshingly cool on contact.
Though this super-smooth mattress protector will probably make your sheets feel a little slippery, it's well worth the enhanced temperature regulation that a regular protector just doesn't provide.
• Material: Polyester and spandex blend • Color options: 9
Do you find the cool, slinky fabric of basketball shorts oddly comforting? Sheex's performance sheets deliver that same relaxed feel all over.
Not only is this bedding set engineered for optimal breathability, but the linens drape beautifully on the bed with a silk-like sheen. They even come in a split-king size, making them great for users with adjustable bed frames.
These budget-friendly, jersey-knit sheets feel as comfy, cozy, and cool as your favorite, well-worn tee. They have a more casual than crisp look, and though they're soft, they don't have that slippery feeling that silkier varieties do.
Even those who don't normally like sleeping with top sheets will love the drape of the soft and cooling fabric over their body.
