Avoid Night Sweats and Stay Cool While Sleeping: Tips for Hot Sleepers

Best Bedding for Hot Sleepers: Eucalyptus Lyocell + Natural Latex

Tired of waking up in a pool of sweat? You’re not alone. Overheating at night is a common issue, but with the right tips and bedding, you can stay cool all night long and wake up feeling refreshed. Let’s dive into how you can turn your bedroom into a cool oasis — and why Sheets & Giggles’ cooling eucalyptus sheets are a game-changer.

Why Staying Cool at Night Is Important

Sleeping too hot can lead to tossing, turning, and poor-quality sleep. Your body temperature naturally decreases during the night, so keeping your environment cool supports this process and can help you stay asleep through the night. Here’s how to achieve it:

Top Tips for Staying Cool While Sleeping

1. Use Breathable Bedding

   • Opt for cellulosic rayon like Eucalyptus Lyocell, known for its superior breathability and moisture-wicking properties.

   • Avoid heavy or synthetic fabrics that trap heat (e.g., polyester, microfiber, or any other petrochemical-based fabric like spandex).

2. Optimize Your Bedroom Temperature

   • Keep your room between 65-75°F for optimal sleep temperatures.

   • Use fans or air conditioning to circulate air.

3. Choose a Cooling Pillow

   • A cooling pillow can help regulate your head and neck temperature. (Sheets & Giggles’ eucalyptus pillowcases pair perfectly with our cooling pillow.)

4. Choose a natural latex or hybrid mattress, not foam.
   • Foam mattresses are made from petrochemicals (oil), which traps body heat like crazy. In contrast, our natural latex mattress is made from rubber tree sap, which has incredible heat resistance. Plus, we hole-punch our latex layers, so air flows freely throughout the mattress. You'll stay several degrees cooler just from this simple switch!

5. Shower Before Bed

   • A lukewarm shower can help raise your body temperature before bed, which counterintuitively prepares your body for a cool night’s sleep.

6. Sleep in Lightweight Pajamas

   • Choose breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics for your sleepwear (no polyester!). Even better, sleep in the buff to maximize surface area experiencing our Eucalyptus Sheets' zero-surface-friction heaven.

Why Eucalyptus Sheets Are Perfect for Hot Sleepers

Sheets & Giggles’ eucalyptus sheets are specifically designed with hot sleepers in mind:

• Cooling Properties: Eucalyptus lyocell fabric naturally dissipates heat, keeping you cool. And because it holds some of the humidity from the air in its cells, it's always cool to the touch.

• Moisture-Wicking: Say goodbye to night sweats. Our fabric pulls moisture (sweat) away from your body and evaporates it immediately, creating that "breathable" feeling all over.

• Sustainable and Soft: Not only are these sheets eco-friendly, but they’re also buttery soft—perfect for a good night’s rest. As Ron Magill from Zoo Miami says, "They're soft on the environment, and even softer on the knees."
