The Best 12 Cooling Comforters to Snuggle Up In All Year Long

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Whether you're a naturally hot sleeper or simply in a climate that doesn't quite lend itself to bundling up, running warm while snoozing can have some seriously ill-advised effects on your comfort—and melatonin production. The right bedding makes a significant difference in the quality and quantity of your sleep. Still, while some might be fine using a thin sheet or kicking off their covers in the middle of the night, many of us crave the weight and coziness that a duvet or comforter provides, which can further deepen your sleep too. When you finally carve out that eight hours of rest, you want to actually be able to fall asleep—quickly, easily, and comfortably. We've rounded up the best 12 cooling comforters, from budget-friendly to luxury, to help regulate your temperature overnight without sacrificing your preferences or even aesthetic. Scroll on for our favorites.

Weighted Comforter

The main struggle we run into when testing cooling comforters tend to be that many can be thin, removing the satisfaction of a heavy—or at least tangible—weight to reduce anxiety and soothe restless joints. This comforter from Brooklinen, a beloved direct-to-consumer bedding brand, ensures that weight is distributed evenly across its interior layer with small microbeads. The shell's crafted from Quilted 400 TC Cotton Sateen too.

A reviewer reports: "It’s just the perfect weight for [my son] to feel snug and it’s not too warm. It’s very breathable and stays fluffy even though it’s weighted."

Sizes: Twin/Twin XL-King/Cali King
Material: quilted 400 TC Cotton Sateen Shell; glass microbeads

UltraCool Comforter

This NASA-engineered bedding is an impressive feat in sleep technology. Its temperature-regulating fiberfill auto-adjusts to your temperature (essentially by absorbing the heat from your body and dispersing it as needed), giving you an even-keeled snooze every time. The outer fabric's made of cooling nylon and spandex for a cozy feel.

Third party lab tests show this fabric has one of the highest Qmax values on the market. For those not in the bedding know, that means it's scientifically colder than most other fabrics.

Sizes: Twin/Twin XL-King/Cali King
Material: Nylon and spandex outer; ClimaDry™ down alternative fiberfill

Breeze Comforter

Buffy's perhaps the Instagram favorite of this bunch, with a reputation for easy-breezy coolness with its aptly named Breezy collection. Made of 300-thread-count eucalyptus and naturally weighted, the Buffy Breeze Comforter is a winner across the Internet for choice details like a unique stitching pattern to ensure fill never shifts during slumber.

A reviewer reports: "My night sweats have decreased dramatically! I'm sleeping so much more comfortably now."

Sizes: Twin/Twin XL-King/Cali King
Materials: 100% TENCEL™ eucalyptus lyocell shell

AiryWeight Eucalyptus Comforter

As a professional shopping writer (and self-admitted insomniac), I currently sleep with SIJO's AiryWeight Eucalyptus Comforter. Since eucalyptus draws out heat better than cotton, linen, and other materials, it's a choice fabric for me as I live in a tropical climate. True to its name, it does in fact feel airy, which is a relief in my tiny room; I briefly slept on it while my AC unit had conked out and appreciated its thermoregulation.

Size: Twin/Twin XL-King/Cali King
Materials: 100% TENCEL™ lyocell

Lightweight Humidity Fighting Duvet

For those who live in humid climates, opt for Casper's Lightweight Humidity Fighting Duvet. (Yes—that Casper. Bed-in-a-box isn't the only product at which the brand excels!) The comforter features a sewn-in layer of merino wool, which is a best-of-both-worlds fabric: it wicks away sweat when you're warm and keeps you snug when it's cold.

Size: Full/Queen-King/Cali King
Material: 100% cotton shell; merino wool

Matouk Montreux Summer Weight Down Comforter

While it may be tempting to opt for a year-round pick, you can also choose to flip your bedding the way you flip your closet with winter clothes. In that case, choose the Matouk Montreux Summer Weight Down Comforter. Premium European duck down and crisp cotton percale keep you cool, while 600-fill means you don't have to sacrifice that "thick bedding" feel.

Sizes: Twin-King
Material: 100% cotton percale; duck fill

The Coop Exhale All-Season Adjustable Comforter

I found Coop Sleep Goods through its miraculous pillow; I stayed for its all-season bedding. The bedding itself comes with one base comforter and two half panels, for adjustable layering, to give extra warmth by season on either side of the bed.

Materials: 300 thread count cotton sateen; 100% polyester fill
Size: Full/Queen-King/Cal King

Silk Comforter

If you've ever read a romance novel, chances are the protagonist had silk sheets. Why? Luxury, comfort, indulgence...but you may not know that mulberry silk naturally regulates body temperature too. Reviewers do note that sizing seems to run a bit large.

A reviewer reports: "I chose it because my husband is always hot and I am often cold. I thought this might be just what we need, something that would meet both our needs. No arguments here—we are happy."

Size: Twin-King
Material: 100% mulberry silk fill

SleepSmart™ Temperature Regulating Down-Alternative Duvet Insert Made with Fresh Zone™

Of course, Pottery Barn is always worth perusing and this down-alternative comforter piqued our interest for its Fresh Zone™ technology, which continuously adjusts to help maintain a climate of personal comfort at the ideal 99.5 degree Fahrenheit all night long.

Size: Full/Queen-King/Cal King

Materials: 80% antimicrobial polyester; 20% 37.5° performance fiber blend

Snug Cooling Comforter

Bamboo viscose has a reputation for being soft-to-touch and chilly enough to make even the hottest of sleepers happy. Sunday Citizen takes it to the max with this all-in-one pick which can replace your duvet, duvet cover, and even top sheet.

Material: microfiber, viscose from bamboo outer; GRS-certified polyester fill from recycled water bottles.

Size: Full-Queen — King-Cal King

The Cool+ Blanket

Another hit from Coop Sleep Goods: its layerable Cool+ Blanket, launched this fall and an excellent duvet alternative. Having slept with this blanket for multiple months, it's full-on otherworldly—a literally chilly surface that's both silky-smooth to touch and a relief in uncomfortably warm environments.

Sizes: Full-Queen — King/Cal King
Material: nylon & spandex blend cover; cooling poly fill technology & cooling nylon blend fill.

Evercool® Cooling Comforter

The double-sided cooling fabric of this shopper favorite provides superior moisture wicking and a gentle feel. According to the brand, 9 out of 10 customers who tried the Evercool Comforter said they couldn't go back to using another comforter anymore.

Sizes: Twin/Twin XL-King/Cal King
Material: natural TENCEL™ and Sorona® filling blend

Pod Cover

While not a cooling comforter, this smart mattress topper will undoubtedly transform your bed into a chilly oasis—or whatever temperature, to the degree, you prefer. Luxe details like split-zone temperature control (customized to each partner), intuitive sleep tracking that learns the best climate for you at each sleep stage, and even a gentle built-in alarm make it a gamechanger when it comes to sleeping well.
