Other Bed Cooling Tips to Combat Overheating

Bed Cooling Duvet

During winter you need a thick, warm duvet. However, using the same bed sheets during the summer can lead to overheating. During warm weather, try switching to a thinner duvet. The warmth offered by a duvet is measured in togs. The ideal rating for a summer duvet is around the 5 tog mark, while a rating of 13 togs is more common among winter duvets.

Bed Cooling Clothes

When selecting clothes that keep you cool you need something that is lightweight, soft and breathable. Ideal choices include cotton, silk and bamboo. However, you should try to avoid the following materials: wool, fleece and polyester. These materials tend not to promote air circulation. They can also be quite heavy and irritate the skin.

Improve Air Circulation

Overheating in bed can be caused by a lack of cool air in the room. To combat this you can improve air circulation by sleeping with your door open, or, if it’s very warm, by opening a window.
