Best Cooling Sheets for Hot Sleepers: Why Eucalyptus Lyocell is Your Best Bet

For hot sleepers, finding the best cooling sheets is essential for a restful night. Among various options—cotton, linen, bamboo viscose, and polyester—Eucalyptus Lyocell sheets stand out as the top choice. These sheets are not only breathable, but also incredibly soft and moisture-wicking, making them ideal for anyone who struggles with overheating at night.

Why Eucalyptus Lyocell is the Best Cooling Sheet Fabric

1. Superior Breathability

Eucalyptus Lyocell sheets are incredibly breathable, ensuring maximum airflow during the night.

  • Cotton: While breathable, it doesn't match Eucalyptus Lyocell in hot or humid climates.
  • Linen: Highly breathable, but its texture can be rough.
  • Bamboo Viscose: Breathable but denser, sometimes trapping heat.
  • Polyester: Microfiber is much less breathable and retains body heat underneath you.

2. Exceptionally Moisture-Wicking

One of the best features of Eucalyptus Lyocell is its moisture-wicking ability.

  • Cotton: Absorbs moisture but can become damp, pooling sweat underneath you. With its wavy filament, it doesn't distribute water evenly across the fiber's filaments, leading to sweat concentration in the fabric. (This also makes your sheets need washing more frequently!)
  • Linen: Absorbs well but can feel abrasive.
  • Bamboo Viscose: Good moisture-wicking, but may retain some moisture.
  • Polyester: Does not wick moisture effectively, leading to constantly damp skin throughout the night (a major cause of tossing and turning).

Softness and Comfort for Hot Sleepers

Eucalyptus Lyocell offers a silky smooth texture, ideal for hot sleepers.

  • Cotton: Soft, especially in high thread counts, but lacks Eucalyptus Lyocell's near-zero coefficient of friction.
  • Linen: Durable but rougher.
  • Bamboo Viscose: Soft, but not as smooth.
  • Polyester: Initially soft, but lacks natural smoothness, and snags frequently on feet and hair.

Eco-Friendly and Hypoallergenic

Eucalyptus Lyocell is both hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly.

  • Cotton: Natural, but water- and pesticide-intensive to grow.
  • Linen: Eco-friendly but less hypoallergenic.
  • Bamboo Viscose: Sustainable but processed with extremely toxic chemicals like carbon disulfide.
  • Polyester: Synthetic and non-biodegradable, petrochemical based, major fossil-fuel driver. Not so fun fact: washing polyester in laundry machines is the top source of microplastics in our waterways.

For hot sleepers, the best cooling sheets are made from Eucalyptus Lyocell. Their breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities make them the superior choice over cotton, linen, bamboo viscose, and polyester. We hope you try a set from Sheets & Giggles, now trusted by hundreds of thousands of previously hot sleepers! And if our sheets don't work for you, no sweat: we have a full money-back guarantee with automated returns.
