The Cooling Collection

The best cooling pillow for hot sleepers addresses heat at both the surface and the interior. A cool-to-the-touch cover helps at initial contact, but a pillow that traps heat inside defeats that purpose quickly. BEDGEAR's Night Ice Performance® Pillow is built with mesh panels, air vents, and breathable construction throughout, keeping airflow moving in and around the pillow rather than letting heat build up inside it through the night.

Most of BEDGEAR's cooling products are designed per sleeper. Pillows are individual, for example. The Ver-Tex® Sheet Set and cooling blankets work across the full bed, but the fabrics are lightweight enough that a cooler-running partner won't find them uncomfortable. For couples with very different temperature needs, the M3 Performance® Mattress allows each side to be configured independently.

The most effective bedding for hot sleepers addresses every layer of the sleep system. A cooling pillow and mattress handle heat at the source, while cooling sheets and a breathable mattress protector manage what happens at the surface.

Yes, when they're engineered properly. Traditional cotton traps heat because of its fiber density and weave. Performance sheets made with instant-cooling fabrics like Ver-Tex® disperse heat rather than absorbing it. The difference is noticeable from the first night, and unlike standard cotton, the cooling performance doesn't degrade after washing.

Night sweats can be caused by a range of factors including room temperature, hormonal changes, stress, certain medications, and bedding that traps moisture rather than wicking it away. When bedding absorbs sweat and holds it against the body, the evaporative cooling process your body depends on can't happen, which keeps core temperature elevated and disrupts sleep.
