A typical, thick comforter may quickly lead to overheating, especially for hot sleepers. But there's nothing quite like wrapping up in a cozy blanket, no matter the temperature outside. That's why a cooling comforter is ideal for the summer months, but can also be used year-round by hot sleepers looking for relief.
The best cooling comforters for hot sleepers are designed to trap less heat, and many use specialized cooling technology — and you can even continue to use your favorite duvet cover with many of them!
Our top cooling comforter picks:
The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab regularly tests comforters of all kinds, including down comforters, down alternative picks and beyond. In the Lab, GH fiber scientists evaluate each comforter's construction to ensure it is built to last and vet all cooling claims and technologies. We test comforters every year, and this year we tested 28 different styles, putting them through over 220 in-Lab and at-home tests. To find the best buys, we analyze thousands of data points from many years of comforter testing.
Whether you're going through menopause and experiencing hot flashes, or you're just someone who experiences night sweats, these are the comforters that will allow you to sleep more deeply by keeping you cool at night.
