As a longtime hot sleeper, I understand firsthand how difficult it is to get quality z’s when it seems as though your body has a built-in sauna. Plus, in summer, sleep is bound to be even more sweaty and less comfortable. But by making a few changes to your sleeping setup, you can be on your way to a cooler snooze session in no time.
Some of these tweaks include swapping out heavier sheets and comforters for more lightweight, breathable options and enlisting the help of a powerful tower fan to keep air circulating around your bedroom. You can find these hot sleeper solutions and more on our list below, which contains reviewer-approved items that may help you achieve a more comfortable (and cooler) night’s sleep.

Promising review: "Using this fan in my bedroom and it has been GREAT! Much quieter than old style floor fan and the ECO and sleep modes work very well. There’s all types of bells and whistles on this fan, but so far each feature has been great. My sleep quality has definitely improved since the air circulation is more evenly distributed and I don’t have to constantly adjust the fan. The fan is not loud; just a low enough hum. But, I’ve always liked the white noise of a fan. I’m also dealing with the occasional hot flashes, so this fan is plus. I absolutely won’t be able to go back to a window or circle oscillation fan. I’m a tower fan convert." — ALA
Promising review: "This comforter is like a cloud. Never have I ever been more excited to get into bed. I bought it because I run hot when I sleep and I have no regrets. I was worried that my 20 lb weighted blanket and 80 lb couch potato dog would depress the filling, but it survived the test and is still as wondrously fluffy as when I first unpacked it." — Andrea K.
Promising review: "Just as pretty as the trending brand’s style. I got the sea glass sage color and it is the perfect muted color. Keeps my iced drinks super cold all day (and all night—it’s the perfect bedside table cup!). It fits in my car’s cup holders too! It checks all my boxes and is a major win for the price!" — Kelsey
Promising review: "LOVE this pillow! I get sooo hot at night and have had to always flip my pillows several times a night! This pillow keeps me cool ALL night! I’m mostly a stomach and side sleeper and it is soft enough to do that; but it also is firm enough when I’m on my back reading or watching TV! Highly recommend!!!" — Paul Gandy
Promising review: "My girlfriend is a werewolf, and she radiates heat like a nuclear reactor. She sleeps with a very small cheap anime throw blanket, the central a/c at 60, and a fan full blast that could make a tornado change direction - and yet she is still hot. Then I got her this blanket and today I woke up with the fan at only half power and I could actually feel my face, she sleeps so soundly and comfortably and doesn’t heat up as much. The silky side retains a pretty constant cool feeling throughout the night and just feels really great. Overall, If you’re a hot sleeper, this is the one. Highly recommend." — Emil Novoa
Promising review: "This is the only sheet/duvet set I’ve ever found that ACTUALLY cools you down. I usually sleep so hot, but with this set I wake up not sweaty for the first time ever." — Dylan W.
Promising review: "We are having a heat wave, and these do a great job of blocking out the heat from the sun. They block out most of the light. I will probably buy more of these for other windows that I am using different coverings on. We are staying cool, and saving money on the electric bill!" — Amazon customer
Promising review: "This blanket is perfect for sleeping in a hot climate like Texas. It's soft and comfortable, and works well for layering." — Tristin H.
Promising review: "I get extremely hot when I sleep to the point of sweating and it's gotten to be almost a daily thing. For the last few years, I had been sleeping on top of my comforter with only a small blanket because I would get too hot sleeping under a comforter. When even that began to feel too hot during the summer, I got the bed jet to cool my bed and now I can comfortably sleep under a comforter and still remain cool. One of the best purchases I have ever made." — Janet Clark
Promising review: "I can’t say enough about these PJs! I’ve told a lot of ppl about them and I’ve purchased several different styles for myself! These pjs are super soft, cooling, and lightweight. I run hot in the night and these pjs have helped with the night sweats and uncomfortable stickiness." — Bonny B
