17 Sets Of Cooling Sheets To Make Sleeping Hot A Thing Of The Past

Hi, all my fellow hot sleepers!!! Tell your night sweats they're about to meet their match — we've found sheet sets that are actually cooling and won't make your bed feel like a sauna in the summer.

So what did we look for when finding these 15 reviewer-loved sheet sets? 100% cotton and 100% linen reign supreme when it comes to cooling fabrics. Cotton is lightweight and breathable, and linen ups the ante by also being moisture-wicking. However, cotton is very durable (especially long- or extra-long staple cotton like Supima), while linen is less so.

We also included a mix of sateen- and percale-weave sheets. Sateen sheets are super smooth, drape easily, and have a subtle sheen to them. Percale sheets have more of a crisp, cool feeling with a matte finish — think of a freshly laundered shirt! 

We'll also point out if the set is Oeko-Tex certified. This means it has been independently tested for harmful substances to ensure that it is suitable for humans to use — that's super important for something that makes contact with your skin on a nightly basis!

We decided not to include bamboo sheets, as most of them undergo less sustainable production methods. Most sheets that advertise themselves as "bamboo" are actually made of bamboo-viscose (aka bamboo-rayon) or bamboo-lyocell, which are produced in ways that involve toxic chemicals that can become pollutants. You can read more about bamboo fabrics at The Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Oh, and microfiber is not the best choice when it comes to staying cool. It's tightly-woven, meaning your body heat won't escape as easily.

Okay, now let's find you a new sheet set!!!

1. A wildly popular 400-thread count cotton sateen cooling sheet set so soft and cooling, you'll never throw them off you in the middle of the night when you suddenly feel like someone cranked up the thermostat to 100 degrees. Bonus — reviewers say these hold up super well after repeated washings with very few wrinkles and no shrinkage!

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one for Twin).

Promising review: "Bought these strictly because of the color and cost to use in a guest room. A week after we put these in the guest bedroom, we needed to utilize that bed because we were painting our master. We slept on these and were amazed by the quality for such a low cost. We have always slept on expensive bedding. This set felt just as good. Time will tell how they age, but we have bought another set to use as a spare. Also, I want to mention the cooling effect of these sheets. Both my wife and I love to be cooler rather than warmer when we sleep." —The Dude 

Get it from Amazon for $39.94+ (available in sizes Twin–California King, two packs, and 38 colors).

2. A 100% European linen set that comes in a gingham pattern so country-chic it might just mentally transport you to a cozy cabin in the woods. Reviewers rave over them for their super lightweight feel. (Oh, and that there's an option without a flat sheet!)

Quince

These are Oeko-Tex-certified. Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Note: As the reviewer mentions below, linen sheets can feel a little more textured and less smooth than cotton, but they should soften with every wash!

Promising review: "I want to preface this by saying that I am a HOT sleeper. I live in the South where it stays hot and humid. I have two fans on me and my thermostat is always set down in the 60s during the night, but I still have night sweats that wake me up and I always kick the covers off throughout the night. When I first took these out of the package, I was apprehensive because they felt scratchy and rough. I washed them according to the care instructions, and they still felt rough, but I gave them a chance. I have slept with them the past two nights, along with Quince's percale duvet cover. I have had zero night sweats and stayed covered up the whole night. I'm amazed." —Cammie D.

Get it from Quince for $85.90+ (available with or without a flat sheet, sizes Twin–California King, and three colors. Also available in a striped pattern).

3. A set made with 100% Egyptian cotton in a percale weave — which is perfect for curling up under on a 90+ degree day while watching Uptown Girls and singing along to 🎶na na na na na na na na, sheets of Egyptian cotton. 🎶 Oh, and Egyptian cotton is known for its durability, so these should last you for years to come.

L.L. Bean

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Promising review: "Just purchased a second set of these sheets and am very pleased with them. They are soft and comfortable, smooth without being slippery and feel crisp rather than clammy. Sizing is generous and, having started the process of looking for a new mattress, I will no longer worry about the corners of the fitted sheets being big enough because these are plenty large for the depth of modern mattresses. They launder beautifully and come out of the dryer wrinkle-free when removed promptly. Very happy to recommend these sheets!" —L.L. Bean customer

Get it from L.L. Bean for $219.99+ (available in sizes Twin–Split King and 22 colors).

4. A set of 100% organic cotton sheets that come packaged in a reusable fabric bag, which is so much better than the flimsy plastic other sets come in. Several reviewers say these are thin enough to feel comy for hot sleepers, yet sturdy enough to stand up to many washes — one reviewer says years worth! 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

These are Oeko-Tex certified and certified organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard. Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Promising review: "I love these bedsheets. I’m someone who’s really temperature sensitive, the slight change in temperature and I’m either freezing or on the verge of having a heat stroke, and that was the problem with my past bedsheets. I would get extremely hot and uncomfortable in the middle of the night, making sleeping impossible. With these sheets though, they keep me cool at night and I love that, I don’t have to uncover or set the thermostat to freezing temperatures anymore in order to sleep comfortably." —SmithDani

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and 30 colors).

5. A splurge-worthy set of Supima cotton sheets with a super smooth sateen weave that'll tell night sweats to take a hike. One reviewer even compared these to hotel sheets, which is truly the highest compliment you can give to a sheet set.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

These are Oeko-Tex certified! Supima cotton is more durable due to its extra-long staple fibers. Read more about Supima here.

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one for Twin).

Promising review: "These will be the only sheets I purchase unless someone can show me a better set with a higher thread count and thicker/denser material!!!! It has really been a chore to find these sheets, but they are amazing. They are thick! Heavy duty! We love that feel! They are cool, are great quality, fit my bed great, and they make for a great night's sleep. If you like densely made sheets, these are for you. Do you know what a canvas tarp is? That’s how I like my sheets. I don’t like those thin and poorly made sheets that feel like wore-out underwear." —Liz

Get it from Amazon for $185.63+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and eight colors).

6. A set of 100% cotton sateen sheets that are BELOVED by Target reviewers. No, really, I think some of these reviewers are counting on these becoming a family heirloom. That's probably because of the smooth 400-thread count wrinkle-resistant fabric, and the extremely helpful "top or bottom" tags so you know which side is which. If you've ever almost given up on making your bed and just flopping on the couch because you lined the fitted sheet's corners up incorrectly, these are for you.

Target

And they're Oeko-Tex certified! Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one for Twin).

Check out our full review of "the best sheets known to man."

Promising review: "Love these Threshold sheets. I have purchased several sets over the years. The sheets are made very well and keep you cool at night. The color does not fade after washing. Such great quality for a great price. I highly recommend these sheets!" —Amber

Get it from Target for $29+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and 13 colors).

7. A Brooklinen cotton set with a percale weave — it comes with one flat sheet and two pillowcases, so it's perfect for anyone who sweats at the mere thought of using a flat sheet. The brand says it's meant to feel "like your fave button-down shirt," and I can't think of anything cozier. Plus, each side is labeled with "long" and "short," which should honestly be a legal requirement for all sheet sets.

Brooklinen

These are Oeko-Tex certified! 

Promising review: "I only recently bought Brooklinen sheets and pillowcases, but I quickly found that these are exceptional products. I like to sleep on a pillow that feels cool and not heated from body heat. This is the case with these pillowcases. The fabric stays cool and washes beautifully. I’ve already bought another set of pillowcases and sheets." —Deborah K.

Get the set from Brooklinen for $74.12+ (originally $109+; available in sheet sizes Twin–Cali King and three colors).

8. A Miracle Made sheet set made with 100% cotton in a crisp-feeling percale weave that's infused with silver — but it would absolutely take home the gold in the Cooling Sheet Olympics. Why would you want silver in your sheets? Silver has antibacterial properties, which may help cut down on the amount of bacterial growth. No, that doesn't necessarily mean you need to wash these less, but it might give you some peace of mind while you drift off the dreamland. 

Miracle Made

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one for Twin).

Read more about silver's antibacterial properties at the National Library of Medicine and the United States Department of Agriculture.

Promising review: "I was extremely surprised at how soft and cooling the sheets were night after night. We went three weeks without changing, washing them in the Miracle Laundry Detergent Sheets, and they are still just as great as ever. Highly recommend!" —Missi C.

Get it from Miracle Made for $204+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and 12 colors).

9. A pure linen setso buttery smooth you'll roll around on it like a dog going carpet swimming. It's designed to absorb moisture without feeling wet to the touch, so if night sweats come to pay you a visit, they'll be quickly whisked away with barely a trace.  

www.amazon.com

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Promising review: "Sleeping on these sheets is a revelation. They feel cool and breathable, even on warmer nights. Then, when the temperature drops, they seem to magically become cozy and warm. It's like they have a built-in thermostat, perfectly calibrated for optimal sleep comfort. My body temperature is no longer a topic of nightly negotiation with my bedding.

And the best part? They get softer with every wash. It's true! They start off with a lovely, slightly crisp feel and gradually transform into this incredibly soft, lived-in luxury. It's like they're aging gracefully, becoming more comfortable and inviting over time." —MBS

Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in sizes Full–California King and 12 colors).

10. A set made with 100% pima cotton (meaning they're luxuriously soft, silky, and long-lasting compared to regular cotton fibers) and a percale weave for a crisp, cool feel and matte finish. And can we talk about the floral prints?! Absolutely stunning for any time of the year = worth the investment.

L.L. Bean

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Promising review: "Soft and comfy with a generous top sheet — no more tug-of-war every night with my husband for a piece of it! The pattern is beautiful and pairs well with my blue LL Bean vintage matelasse coverlet." —L.L. Bean customer

Get it from L.L.Bean for $159+ (available in sizes Twin–King and two prints).

11. A set of brightly printed cotton bedsheets so you can add a vibrant summer vibe to your bed while you escape from the grueling summer temps. These get rave reviews for the bold prints that actually look as nice in person as they do in the product photos, and for having a ~crisp~ percale texture that'll give you that *fresh sheet* feeling every night.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

These are Oeko-Tex certified! Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one for Twin).

Promising review: "Perfect. I love these sheets. I have been buying microfiber sheets for the prices lately and just got these for the print. Now I need more because when I change the sheets back to wash these, I can't sleep on the microfiber because it clings a little to all my PJs. These are so much better. No clinging to PJs means the PJs don't ride up my legs and wake me up. I can move while sleeping all night and turn over, and my PJs go with me. These sheets are awesome. I got them as a present, and now I will only buy these." —Gina

Get it from Amazon for $36.54+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and 37 styles).

12. A super sweet rainbow set — it's made with 100% cotton, meaning it'll be light and breathable enough to keep kids (or your inner child) comfy and cool all afternoon long, when it's time for a nap, *and* all night long.

West Elm Kids

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Get it from West Elm Kids for $63.20+ (originally $79+; available in sizes Twin–Queen).

13. A set of cotton sheets that'll combine your love for bold, vibrant patterns and breathable fabrics, thanks to the percale weave. The fitted sheet can easily fit mattresses up to 18 inches deep, so they might just make you dread sheet-changing-day a little less.

Rifle Paper Co

These are Oeko-Tex certified! Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Promising review: "My husband LOVES these sheets! We slept so well and stayed nice and cool." —Alison C.

Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $119+ (available in sizes Twin–King and 10 colors).

14. Or a cotton set featuring a super vibrant red floral pattern so you can make it look like spring every single day of the year. The breathable percale weave will also make it feel like spring too — not too cold, not too hot.

Bed Bath and Beyond

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these sheets! The colors are even brighter than I expected and the sheets feel so good--silky, soft, and cool against your skin. They wash well, too; not losing any of the vibrant color or clarity of fabric design. I would easily recommend purchasing these sheets to a friend or family." —Dawn G.

Get it from Bed Bath & Beyond for $99.99 (available in Full and Queen sizes).

15. Or! A 100% cotton set made with a smooth sateen weave that'll drape super elegantly over your bed and basically turn it into a work of art. Reviewers say they hold up for years, and some have even picked up extra sets!

Anthropologie

These are Oeko-Tex certified! Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Promising review: "So beautiful and silky soft. This is my second set from here and they have become my best sheets ever. Worth every penny. Keeps me cool at night, which I love. So happy with my purchase." —Loving dogs

Get it from Anthropologie for $178+ (available in sizes Twin–California King and 11 patterns).

16. A chic set made with 100% stone-washed linen — come for the lightweight softness, stay for the dramatic flair of the ruffled pillowcases.

Lenok Linen

These are Oeko-Tex certified. Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases.

Promising review: "I had the opportunity to sleep on someone's sheets and immediately had to order my own linen sheets. You may notice the texture at first, but a few washes later is when you notice the real ahhhhh factor every time you slip into bed. I'm both a hot and cold sleeper, and these sheets regulate me like nothing else. I've spent a lot in the past on 1,000-count sheets and bamboo sheets and you name it... these are the best. Happy sleeping!" —Jean

Lenok Linen is a small Etsy shop specializing in linen goods.

Get it from Lenok Linen on Etsy for $179.40+ (originally $299+; available in sizes Twin–California King as well as European and Australian sizes, and 26 colors. You can also add more pillowcases to the set).

17. An absolutely adorable set made with 100% cotton and a percale weave — the coffee that's printed on them might be hot, but you'll stay as cool as a glass of cold brew. No judgment if they inspire you to have breakfast-in-bed and leave croissant crumbs all over them. It'll just elevate the vibe.

Anthropologie

Each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases (one with Twin).

Promising review: "Such a cute pattern, washes nice and keeps me cool at night. Highly recommend!" —Alyssa P.
