Frequently Asked Questions
What comforter material is best for hot sleepers?
If you’re a hot sleeper, you want something breathable. “Bamboo/tencel is great, as it can be sweat-wicking,” says Dr. Harris. She also notes that for hot sleepers, linen sheets or cotton percale sheets are ideal. Other materials that many hot sleepers find comfortable are eucalyptus, silk, and wool.
I sleep hot and my partner sleeps cold—what should we do?
Many temperature-regulating comforters are designed to keep you at a comfortable temperature. Alternatively, Dr. Harris suggests: “If you have a bed partner who likes a warmer comforter, consider going with two different comforters for the bed: one that’s cooling/sweat-wicking for the hot sleeper’s side and one that’s warmer for the other side. I usually recommend a twin XL for the size if possible, since two twin XL mattresses make one regular king-size bed.”
What are other sleep strategies for hot sleepers?
“I recommend keeping the bedroom cool throughout the night, in the 60s Fahrenheit range,” says Harris. “A fan or ceiling fan can be fantastic for cooling, too. And taking a hot shower 90 minutes to two hours before bed can also help the body start to cool off. Sweat-wicking PJs and cooling PJ materials are also really useful.” She also mentions cooling mattress pads and pillows as solutions if you feel your existing ones are trapping heat.

How we test and review products
When Allure tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that’s included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.
For our list of the best comforters for hot sleepers, we considered each product’s performance across five primary categories: product ingredients and efficacy, packaging, fragrance, texture, and product wear. Every product was determined to have excelled in each category by our editorial team of in-house writers and editors, as well as contributors, along with special consideration from dermatologists. To learn more about our reporting and testing processes, read our complete reviews process and methodology page.
Our staff and testers
A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors—in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon—is essential to reaching that goal.
After all, can we really say a skin-care product is the “best” for people over 50 if the only testers we’ve solicited opinions from are folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it’s never been tested on curls? We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.
