Being a hot sleeper in general (no matter the season) is more than a slight annoyance. During the colder months in Los Angeles, I still find myself waking up in the middle of the night needing a fan often. The worst part, though? Waking up with a clammy sensation and feeling like you’re stuck to the sheets. Ugh.
While sleeping without a heavy blanket definitely helps me avoid feeling like a furnace at night, I’ve recently realized it’s all about the sheets, folks. Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but I honestly had no idea cooling bed sheets were a thing until I did a little browsing on Amazon. Life-changing would be an understatement to describe what I found. While Sheex’s Original Performance Sheets are definitely a splurge (retailing for $299 for a queen size), as a hot sleeper, I can tell you it’s money well-spent.
These ultra-soft, luxurious sheets have a buttery softness that, for me, helps minimize night sweats and overheating. The brand also says that the lightweight fabric allows your body to cool itself naturally so you have fewer sleep-disrupting temperature fluctuations.
The fabric composition is simple: 87% performance polyester and 13% spandex, providing plenty of stretch and airiness. If you order the full-, queen-, or king-sized sheet set, it comes with one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and two standard pillowcases. I have the queen set and it’s perfect for all my needs. If you need smaller sizes, the set also comes in a twin and twin XL size which comes with just one pillow cover.
