1. A cooling mattress pad that reviewers can't stop talking about, because there's nothing worse than trying to fall asleep, only to toss and turn from the heat. This pad is your ticket to a more restful night.
2. Additionally, a pair of satin pillowcases (which I personally use and can confirm have a calming, cooling effect). But! These are also versatile, sticking around in your bedding through colder months since satin doesn't absorb moisture from your hair and skin like cotton pillowcases do.
3. Alternatively, try a specially crafted set of two cooling pillowcases, made with Japanese cooling fibers that draw heat away from your body while you sleep.
4. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes that can be a game changer for hyperhidrosis, stress-related sweating, or hormonal sweats, no matter the season. If summer turns up the heat, these wipes are definitely worth a shot. Apply them to your underarms before bed, and they’ll stay effective for up to seven days.
5. A sleeveless linen PJ set that offers plenty of breathability and freedom to move, perfect for those who like to sprawl out on the bed. Plus, it’s stylish enough to wear around the house and take a spontaneous Facetime call with your cousin.
Pick them up from our Goodful Shop for $79 (available in sizes XS–XL and in nine colors; also offered in a short-sleeve version and long-sleeve version).
6. An ultra-fine continuous water mister to refresh your hair in the morning after you’ve slept on it. Maintain that air-dried look without the extra time, water, and product involved in a full wash!
7. An oscillating tower fan designed to circulate air without drastically increasing your energy costs. This bladeless fan operates quietly, offering six speed settings, and includes a remote that you can keep on your nightstand in case you need a little extra warmth at night (what a luxury to have).
8. Additionally, a battery-powered flexible rotating fan that many reviewers recommend for strollers to keep babies cool. However, it’s also perfect for wrapping around your bed frame on your side if you’re the one who gets hot at night while your partner stays cool.
9. A set of two cooling pillows that are hotel-grade. As a hot sleeper, I swear by these all year long. They’re also unbelievably comfortable and supportive thanks to the gel fiber filling inside.
10. Or if you're feeling a little indulgent, try a cooling pillow filled with ultra-soft foam that delivers a refreshingly cool surface to sleep on for up to 12 hours.
11. A set of cooling bed sheets designed to keep you from waking up feeling hot and sweaty. They have a luxurious feel but, fortunately, won’t break the bank!
12. If you have a DEEP mattress, consider ultra-soft deep pocket fitted sheets designed for maximum breathability.
13. Or get some suspenders for your sheets if you already love your cooling sheets, but struggle with your fitted sheet slipping off your deep mattress, leaving you tangled in a sheet burrito. These work exactly as described, ensuring that no matter how much you move at night, your fitted sheet stays in place.
14. A linen bedding bundle to fully embrace your chic home dreams while staying cool. While you don’t have to sleep warm to appreciate these, they’ll definitely enhance your comfort if you do!
Piglet’s signature fabric is crafted from 100% natural stonewashed French flax, which becomes softer with every use. The linens are prewashed to ensure softness and won’t shrink. The material is cozy in winter and refreshingly cool in warmer weather. This bundle includes a natural linen duvet cover, a pair of colorful pillowcases, a pair of white pillowcases, a white flat sheet, and a white fitted sheet.
Purchase it from Piglet for $363+ (available in 14 colors).
15. A temperature-regulating 100% cotton blanket that promotes airflow while you dream of Pedro Pascal.
Muslin Comfort is a woman-owned small business located in California.

Get it from Muslin Comfort for $199.99+ (available in oversized Twin to oversized King and in six colors).
16. Sweat-wicking pajamas made from viscose and spandex, because those Old Navy PJ pants from middle school that you still use are perfect for cold weather, but when summer hits, you need something more breathable. Plus, the waist is elastic!
17. A cooling body spray that provides instant relief before bed or if you wake up in the middle of the night feeling warm.
This is crafted with pure essential oils, water, and witch hazel.
Rooted Earth, a Maine-based small business established in 2013, specializes in small-batch skincare and herbal apothecary products.
Promising review: "This spray is so lovely and refreshing! It smells fantastic, seems to be truly high quality, and helps cool me down (I tend to run hot and find heat stressful). The packaging was also adorable and handmade, which made me feel like a valued customer :)." —April Wilson

18. A Sheex x Brrr° silky sleep mask made with quick-drying, sweat-wicking, mineral-infused fabric that will feel amazing on your face *and* block out light to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
Sheex is a woman-owned small business founded by Michelle Marciniak and Susan Walvius — former basketball coaches from the University of South Carolina. Their goal was to create bedding as comfortable as their favorite performance fabrics.
Promising review: "I’m one of those people who rarely leaves reviews, but when I received this in the mail, I genuinely thought I’d been scammed out of $30. It looks like nothing special, just a basic silky eye mask. I put it on and didn’t think it was anything extraordinary. Ha, I take those words back. I don’t know what kind of black magic they’re using in the manufacturing process (especially with these supply chain issues), but I honestly can't live without it now. It gently covers my eyes in the softest way possible and feels non-restrictive. Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I slept 9+ HOURS for three nights in a row! My husband thought something was wrong with me. Bottom line: I’ve been getting some of the best sleep I’ve had since before the pandemic. Do yourself a favor and get one of these." —Ruth
Available from Sheex for $28 (comes in three colors).
19. A set of wickaway sweatbands designed for workouts but perfect for keeping your sweaty hair out of your face while you get some Zzzzzs.
20. A sleek door draft stopper designed to keep your AC focused on just your bedroom, while seamlessly blending into your door’s bottom edge.
If your door's top and sides are letting cool air escape, consider using an insulating strip – it’s a simple, foolproof solution. Just stick it on, and you’re done!
If you've been hesitant about trying a weighted blanket because of concerns about heat, this one might change your mind. It includes two covers: a fleece option and one made with CoolMax Microfiber technology, ensuring comfort without overheating.
A sleek, customizable window unit A/C that will be far more stylish than any others you’ve encountered during those sweltering days.
Notable review: "I can't emphasize enough how much I adore my July AC unit. Firstly, it's hands down the most efficient AC I've ever owned. My apartment in NYC actually gets cold...even in August! It's quiet, effective, and I love the Wi-Fi feature that lets me control it from my phone. The installation was smooth, quick, and very pleasant. However, my absolute favorite part is the look. It's stunning. Who could ever say that about a window AC?? It’s completely changed the vibe of my space, and I’m beyond grateful. Now, the only issue is that I’m longing for two more!" —Grace
Available at July for $349+ (variety of sizes and configurations available).
24. If you're still uncertain about trying a weighted blanket, a temperature-regulating, cocoon-like sleep pod could be a great and comfy alternative to help ease you to sleep with minimal fabric covering your body. I've tried it myself, and it’s INCREDIBLY stretchy.
Noteworthy review: "The Sleep Pod is truly fantastic. I’m 41 and have battled with sleep maintenance insomnia for the majority of my life. If you're unfamiliar with that term, it means I fall asleep easily, but staying asleep is the struggle. I used to wake up between four and eight times a night, sometimes only getting two hours of sleep, and that would be it. After using the hug sleep for a week, I now sleep between seven and nine hours, only waking up once. It’s cozy, not too hot, and the pressure feels comforting rather than restrictive. I've recommended it to everyone." —Amy Archambault
Available at Sleep Pod for $69.99+ (sizes S–L available).
25. A Purple mattress crafted with the brand's signature grid system and other innovative materials designed to promote airflow and regulate temperature to prevent overheating.
Notable review: "I absolutely love this mattress. It’s incredibly comfortable but doesn’t trap heat like memory foam. Plus, it’s got a bouncy feel — unlike memory foam — without any of the springs." —Jessica M.
Available at Purple for $1,495+ (offered in seven sizes).
26. A dual zone comforter perfect for those who sleep hot while their bed partner doesn’t. One side provides warmth, while the other offers a cooler, comfortable experience.
27. An investment-worthy ChiliPAD sleep system designed for those who’ve been seeking a solution to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the night — especially beneficial if you and your partner prefer different sleeping temperatures.
ChiliSLEEP was established by Todd and Tara Youngblood.
It features a reversible hydro-powered mattress pad, a temperature-regulating control unit, and a remote that allows you to adjust settings without getting out of bed. The system uses hydropower (water) and operates within a temperature range of 55–115°F (13-46°C)..
Notable review: "I was hesitant due to the price compared to other 'solutions' for nighttime heat. That said, I don't regret a single penny spent. Now I sleep soundly and never wake up feeling hot, which used to be a constant issue for me before I got this. My advice to any woman of a certain age who struggles with heat at night, or anyone who tends to get warm at night — buy it and you won't regret it!!" —Tracey
Available from ChiliSLEEP for $649+ (available in half, full, queen, and California king sizes).
