If there's ever been a worse feeling than waking up in the middle of the night covered in sweat, I don't know it and it therefore certainly does not exist. While there are many reasons you might be sweating—that we aren't responsible for—there are certainly some bedroom items that could be contributing, like your tightly woven sheets or a duvet meant for the depths of winter.

For hot sleepers, getting the best bedsheets and comforter or duvet insert is a nonnegotiable. You need the cooling, lightweight fabrics and the sweat-wicking, aired out comfort of a linen or lyocell fiber. Luckily, the world of bedding textiles has been churning out bedding for just that purpose. And even if you're not always a hot sleeper, those looking to trade in their cozy winter bedding for something a little airier in the summer can benefit from those innovative materials, too.

Here, we've gathered up 10 of the most cooling comforters from your tried-and-true bedding spots like Purple, Buffy, Parachute, and Pottery Barn. There's a range of fabric types and blends, as well as different weights, colors, and layering options. Your cool nights of sleep, ahead.

Duvet

Purple's soft duvet is great for an option you can use comfortably all year long. The shell is a breathable cotton, while the fill is a blend of polyester and rayon—which stay in place without shifting around with a quilted design. Although you can use this inside any duvet cover, it's designed to go inside a Purple duvet: This is lined with a soft velcro to attach to the duvet so it stays in one piece throughout the night.

Breeze Comforter

Buffy was founded with the intended purpose of cooling bedding, and it's still the brand's speciality. The Breeze comforter is made with Tencel eucalyptus lyocell shell and fill, and it feels cool to the touch. Because of that cool feeling, though, it tends to get a little slippery if you're using it on its own. It doesn't have quite as much slipping with a duvet cover, though that extra layer can make it a little warmer.

Parachute Home Quilt

If a duvet and its cover is just too much for you, a lightweight quilt can get the job done. Parachute makes this box-patterned quilt in a bunch of its signature neutral colors, and the linen and cotton shell of it makes it feel like an airy, comfortable, sweat-free top layer.

Lightweight Down Comforter

We know that "cooling" and "down" don't normally go together, but Brooklinen designed a comforter that really does it both. The insides are filled with down and wrapped up in a cool-to-the-touch cotton sateen. You can choose your preferred weight: Lightweight (the coolest), all season, or ultra warm. The lightweight one gives you that other-side-of-the-pillow shot of coolness every time you climb in.

Snug Cooling Comforter

If you love feeling cozy in a bed but tend to get overheated after a while, Sunday Citizen's Snug Cooling comforter is the ticket. It's made with the brand's "Tones of Cool" cooling technology, which is meant to be thermoregulating: wicking sweat away and keeping your body temperature comfy. The shell is made with a cozy microfiber on one side, a cooling viscose on the other.

Lightweight Down Alternative Comforter

For the fluff of down without the warmth of it, Saatva made a down alternative out of a fluffy lyocell fill. This sits inside of a cotton shell, designed with a 200-thread count. As the brand notes, higher thread counts often feel silkier, but they also trap heat. A lower thread count means there's more room for the fabric and your body to breathe.

AiryWeight Eucalyptus Comforter

Eucalyptus has been a favorite material innovation lately for its lightweight, sweat-wicking properties. It has a cool, silky feeling, which is a pleasure to sleep in but also makes it susceptible to slipping off the bed if you tend to move around. To make sure the comforter stays as cool and hygienic as possible around sweaty sleepers, Sijo added a silver ion anti-microbial treatment—often used in workout clothes—to kill the bacteria that make something like a comforter start to stink.

TENCEL Comforter

Pottery Barn also makes use out of that cooling TENCEL lyocell, but in its own way. The front is made up of that sweat-wicking lyocell but the back is a silky cotton sateen. You really get the best of both cooling worlds, particularly useful to those sleeping one leg in and one leg out.

European Flax-Certified Linen Duvet Cover

If you have a cozy flannel or similar for your winter bedding, swapping it in for a linen duvet cover is the way to go. This flax linen duvet cover has a super airy weave, leaving plenty of room for that AC to get in and your sweat to air out.

Lightweight Humidity Fighting Duvet

If you live in a warm, humid climate—or if you tend to make any climate you're in warm and humid—Casper designed a duvet to keep you cool in it. It's made with a light down filling, which have thin sewed chambers to keep the down from bunching up, inside of a cotton and wool shell. Merino wool is known for its natural sweat-wicking properties, a particular favorite material for socks. Choose from a lightweight or heavyweight one, both with that wool layer.
