What To Look For In Cooling Comforters:

Most of us like sleeping with something more than just a sheet, whether it’s a blanket, duvet or comforter. (Not sure what the difference between a Duvet and Comforter is? Learn HERE!) However, even though we may like the extra plushness and thickness, that doesn’t mean you want the extra heat.

When it comes to finding the right balance of thickness and cooling in a blanket it is best to look for natural materials that limit humidity, allow for plenty of airflow, all while remaining soft and fluffy. Some of our favorites use such materials as eucalyptus, wool and cotton. With the exception of a few other cooling comforters that incorporate innovative materials too.

Overall, finding a blanket that is lightweight or thinner and breathable is key to not getting too hot.

Our Top Picks For Cool Sleeping Comforters:

Avocado Alpaca Duvet Insert

Materials make a huge difference in how cool or warm a duvet insert will be. Alpaca fur is one of the best materials out there when it comes to temperature moderation. Similar to sheep’s wool, alpaca wool helps to keep you cool when it is warm out and warm when it is cool out. It is also an ethically sourced fur.

Which is why Avocado choose to use Alpaca wool in their newest duvet insert. It comes in two different weight options. A lightweight and all season, if you live in very hot climates the lightweight is going to be the best option for staying as cool as possible. While the all season is great for anyone who needs to both stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Buffy Cloud & Breeze

The Buffy brand makes two different comforters for their bedding line, the Cloud and the Breeze. These comforters differ a bit in loft and materials.  The original Buffy Cloud comforter has a thicker loft size than the Breeze blanket. It has a cover made out of eucalyptus fibers, while the fill is made out recycled plastic that is turned into polyester like fill.

While the Breeze is made out of the same outer eucalyptus materials while the fill is also made out of eucalyptus, making it just that bit cooler than the Cloud. The Breeze also have a thinner profile and allows for even more air to flow. Both of these comforters are generally cool sleeping blankets, however the Breeze kicks it up a notch for anyone who wants to stay extra cool while they sleep.

What Duvet Cover is Best For Staying Cool?

When looking to purchase a cover for your duvet insert or comforter, you’re going to want to keep it as cool and airy as possible. The more airflow the better. Which means you’re going to want the same types of materials you were looking for with your comforter.

Cotton, Tencel, and Lyocell (made from eucalyptus tree pulp) are all great options. The weave will make a difference as well. For cotton we prefer a percale or sateen finish for sleeping cool. Any jersey knit, brushed cotton, or fleece is going to have an insulating effect that will keep you too warm for the summer.
