The hot weather of summer is here in Australia. Chug a cool bevvie. Flip on the air conditioning. And switch out your bedding for a cooling bedding collection? Air conditioning may be the easy solution. However, during hot summer nights, you can also stay cool by carefully picking the kind of bedding you sleep in.
The night sweats often interrupt people in their sleep, even more for hot sleepers during the long summer months. But a good night’s rest is just a choice away. Change your summer beddings with ones made from any breathable materials.
Bamboo is a trending material that contains highly absorbent and breathable properties. Flax linen bedding is a standard choice that’s light and airy. Silk is surprisingly soft and smooth, preventing overheating. If you like weighted blankets, micro glass beads have a cool feel. Finally, cotton is the reliable option, which makes even the snuggest of quilts perfect for the summer climate.
The Best Cooling Sheets for Summer
1. Bamboo sheets for eco-friendly sleep in bed
All the rage about bamboo talks about the eco-friendliness of the material, and rightfully so. Bamboo is one of the best renewable materials on Earth. It is used for many different purposes, including fabrics.
Bamboo fabric has proven to be a formidable material for beddings. Sateen sheets like Ecosa’s bamboo sheet sets have a cool feel, so when you sleep, your body temperature stays regulated throughout the night. You also benefit from their hypoallergenic property, so say goodbye to allergies.
Ecosa’s Weighted Blanket also comes in 100% natural fibres from bamboo. This allows the blanket to stay cool during the summer, along with another cooling element you’ll know more about later.
If you want something truly cooling, a cooling quilt made of specialised cooling fabric and bamboo can help you sleep.
2. A flax linen sheet set for the softest experiences during sleep
Flax linen is another option for maximum airflow during sleep. You may hear that flax linen feels rough. However, 100% European flax linen can be washed and treated. This process makes it incredibly smooth to the touch. You’ll think you’re on a cloud with flax linen pillowcases, flat sheet, and fitted sheet.
It’s already been mentioned that flax linen keeps you cool. Cool enough to maintain good temperature regulation. Even better, flax linen beddings can be enjoyed year-round. They work great during winter, too.
Ecosa’s flax linen sheet set gives you a high-quality flax linen experience. You won’t have to worry about any night sweats again.
3. Silk for smooth, no-frizz nights
Hair gets all frizzled up as you sleep, but you can maintain the health of your hair by switching to silk. With the smoothest surface, silk keeps your hair down, preventing funny hairdos in the morning. You don’t need to buy new pillows. Ecosa’s silk pillowcases will be enough for healthy, untangled hair.
Silk can help regulate temperature. This is why it is used as the filling for Ecosa’s Luxe Quilt. The quilt is made of 100% pure silk long-strand floss. It does not use artificial microfiber. This helps prevent overheating, even though the quilt is thick. You’ll still feel cool enough on summer nights under a cosy quilt.
4. Micro glass beads for cold nights under a weighted blanket
Weighted blankets use different fillings to weigh you down, but microglass beads may be the best choice for cooling. A weighted blanket is thick and heavy enough to trap all the heat inside, making you hot. However, micro glass beads feel cooler than other fillings, so you’ll have an airier night.
In addition, microglass beads are hypoallergenic and machine washable. The individual beads are quite large, so you’ll need fewer beads in the weighted blanket. This makes the Ecosa Weighted Blanket thinner and less bulky than other options.
But if you want to cool off at night, why not invest in a cooling mattress? This can ensure that you get a relaxed sleep.
5. Cotton sheets are still one of the best bedding sets you can get
Cotton is the oldest material for bed sheets, and with good reason. Organic cotton is moisture-wicking and allows much air to pass through its fibres. It’s great for bed sheets, pillowcases, duvets, quilts, or duvet covers.
In fact, Ecosa’s Luxe Quilt, aside from the silk filling, comes with a cotton cover. Even better, the cotton used is long-staple pima cotton. This makes the fabric very durable and incredibly soft. Pima cotton is similar in quality to Egyptian cotton; both are used for some of the best sheets on the market. The only difference lies in where they’re grown.
Thread count is essential with cotton fabrics too. The higher the thread count, the higher the fabric is quality, but some high thread counts are too high. Ecosa’s Luxe Quilt comes with a 400 thread count cotton cover. A 400-thread count is high enough for a high-quality product while not being too astronomical to appear unreal.
Finally, grams per weight (GSM) particularly matters with quilts. Getting the right one with the right gsm will matter regarding heating at night. So, a 300 gsm Ecosa Luxe Quilt will be appropriate with the summer’s hot climate.
