Cool down this summer with the right bedding fabrics and essentials for the most comfortable sleep. As the weather warms up, it’s important to change out your linens for a more lightweight and breathable fabric that’s meant to keep you cool throughout all those hot summer nights. Take a look at the bedding fabrics we recommend to help reduce night sweats and discomfort throughout the summer months.

Which Fabrics Should You Use in the Summer?

Depending on your comfort level and sleeping preferences, the material you choose for your sheets in the summer may vary. However, there are a few types that are made to keep you cooler and more comfortable in the heat. Cotton and linen are common cooling materials due to their lightweight feel and breathable nature. Additionally, and more specifically, cotton percale creates an even cooler feel that is perfect for hot sleepers. Avoid fabrics like flannel, wool, polyester and microfiber as these trap heat and can increase night sweats.

What is Percale?

Referring to a specific weave pattern within cotton fabrics, percale is a one-over, one-under weave that results in a matte and crisp hand feel. Percale is very cooling and breathable, perfect for the summertime. Those who tend to sleep hot or live in very warm climates may prefer percale over other weaves like sateen which is a bit warmer and more dense.
