My partner runs hot while I’m always cold, but Quince’s Airy Gauze Bedding is the perfect solution for both of us.

Dealing with night sweats has been a frustrating experience for me for over a year. There are nights when I wake up drenched, needing to change my pajamas, and other times when I’m so cold I end up clinging to my partner for warmth. Though I’ve started taking medication to ease the sweating, the real challenge has been the impact on our shared bed. Even on nights without night sweats, I often feel chilly, while my partner, a hot sleeper, is the complete opposite.

My husband, who is always too hot and never wears more than a T-shirt and shorts (even in winter), constantly wants to turn on the fan or open a window, while I’m always adding extra blankets. Our disagreement over bedroom temperature was creating tension, until Quince introduced its Organic Airy Gauze collection. After receiving a sample, we discovered the perfect solution. Now, we not only agree on bedding, but we’ll be using this duvet and sham set all year—through summer, fall, and winter.

Having tried nearly every bedding option, I usually don’t expect much from a new swap. We've experimented with bamboo sheets, 100% linen, and cotton blends, but most of them have left us with mixed results. What helps with my night sweats one night doesn’t always work the next, and my partner is always too warm, regardless of the material.

Just when it seemed like a no-win situation, I had a thought... What if the issue isn't the sheets themselves? What if the real problem lies with what’s on top of the bed?

Organic Airy Gauze Duvet Cover

Available for purchase: $100; quince.

The Quince collection is crafted from organic cotton, certified Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX, which was important to me due to my concern about harmful chemicals. However, I wasn’t sure if organic cotton alone could solve our issues. I thought it would take some revolutionary new material with the power to cool hot sleepers and warm cold ones.

I was pleasantly surprised by how light and breathable this cotton feels, especially compared to others I’ve tried. Although the collection’s name has ‘airy’ in it, I still had my doubts, given my past experience with linen, which didn’t solve our sleep issues either.

The collection features a variety of items including duvet sets, quilts, box quilts, shams, blankets, and throws. There's even a toddler-size quilt for parents in need.

Available for purchase: $130; quince.

We found the Organic Airy Gauze Collection to be nearly perfect for both of us—honestly, it felt like we were staying at a hotel rather than at home. It works well for both hot and cold sleepers because the cotton is breathable, not too heavy, nor too light. As someone who’s generally skeptical of duvets (since the inserts often shift around), I found myself preferring the duvet over the quilt because it’s much lighter. Both options help regulate temperature effectively, but the duvet has a soft, cloud-like quality. As a cold sleeper, I can snuggle into it for extra warmth, while my partner can rest comfortably underneath without feeling the usual heaviness that makes him uncomfortable.

So, what makes this cotton ideal for hot and cold sleepers sharing a bed? It’s long-staple cotton, yes, but specifically woven into open-weave gauze, which is lighter and more breathable. The fabric consists of four layers of gauze, carefully woven by artisans in India, providing one soft, cozy layer that sits between you and the duvet insert.

True to a soft, earthy palette, Quince’s newest collection offers a limited range of shades—white, ivory, dune, fog gray, and terracotta. I decided to try the terracotta for a splash of color (a bold move for me, as I usually lean toward a neutral aesthetic) and spent several nights with the Organic Airy Gauze Duvet Cover Set.

I’m also impressed by Quince’s quality and ethical approach. While such practices are often seen in luxury textiles, Quince manages to offer a premium product at an accessible price point. Finding high-quality organic cotton duvets, quilts, and blankets that are ethically produced for under $200 is rare, yet Quince achieves this by using renewable energy, recycling fabric waste, and still keeping prices between $45 and $150. (Note that kitchen items like napkins and placemats are priced separately, ranging from $30 to $50.)

With prices this affordable, you might think Quince is running a sale, especially since you’ll see the 'traditional retailer price' crossed out next to the current price. But it’s not a sale—it’s the price of a comparable product. For the same quality and materials that would typically cost $150 to $200 elsewhere, Quince offers them for just $45 to $150, thanks to its direct-to-consumer supply chain that eliminates the need for warehouses, tariffs, stores, and other factors that raise prices.
