4 Bedding Essentials to Help You Sleep Cooler

Waking up in a puddle of sweat — tangled between stifling layers of sheets and blankets — can be frustrating and uncomfortable. It can also make falling back asleep more difficult. So whether you’re a hot sleeper, someone who experiences night sweats or just the type of person who prefers to doze off in long-sleeve pajamas, you might benefit from choosing lightweight, breathable bedding.

Since IKEA has plenty of affordable options that are designed to pull warmth away from your body for better-quality sleep, we went ahead and rounded up a handful of our favorites. From a temperature-regulating mattress to a cooling gel-infused pillow, here’s what you can’t miss from the modern home-furnishings company.

The ABROTTEN Foam Mattress

Some mattresses retain body heat, which can make for an uncomfortable sleep. Conversely, the ABROTTEN Foam Mattress — a medium-firm option with three luxurious layers of comfort and support — features a cooling material that’s designed to regulate your body temperature overnight. There are also sportswear fibers (the same kind of lightweight, durable ones found in your favorite workout gear) within the cover to help keep moisture and heat at bay. And if you still happen to get a little sweaty while you sleep, the cover is removable and can be machine-washed as needed.

The ROSENVIAL Mattress Protector

Mattress protectors are designed to keep pollutants like dirt, dust, dead skin cells and body oil from penetrating and staining your mattress, but the ROSENVIAL Mattress Protector does double duty. In addition to extending the life of your mattress, the quilted protector’s upper fabric offers a cooling sensation, and its filling contains tiny, wax-infused fibers to help you maintain an even body temperature all night long.

The KLUBBSPORRE Ergonomic Pillow

Flipping to the cold side is a thing of the past when you sleep with the KLUBBSPORRE Ergonomic Pillow. It’s made of supportive memory foam and topped with a gel layer for a cooler, more soothing sleep surface — not to mention the super-soft fabric cover is breathable and helps wick away moisture. It’s firmer and higher than your typical pillow, as well, making it especially comfortable for side and back sleepers.

The BLANEPETA Duvet Insert

If you like the feel of a duvet more than a comforter or quilt, but tend to run hot when you’re in bed, consider the BLANEPETA Duvet Insert. This thinner-than-average insert has lyocell fibers in its fabric and filling, so it feels cool to the touch and helps transport moisture away from your body. Try pairing it with an ultra-breathable cotton duvet cover for an even cooler sleep.
