An active cooling mat has been my chilly respite every night.

That specific product category may be cost-prohibitive to some (more on that below).
Plus, we highlight other cooling bedding products that hot sleepers on our team have tested and loved.
My favorite comforter even made the list!

But what we particularly like about this model is that it can heat your bed, too.
In addition to temperature control, the BedJet 3 provides airflow control and comes equipped with auto shut-off timing.
Tall sleepers can easily kick it out of its stand at night.
Finally, youll find a ventilated pressure relief material, promoting airflow throughout the mattress.
In addition to its cooling capabilities, this mattress offers exceptional support and comfort.
Just note that this mattress is quite heavy and difficult to move.

Additionally, the foam has a mild odor upon arrival, but this should go away quickly.
(Yes, our pets share the bed sometimes, too.)
In the lab, we noticed they had a breezy texture that didnt change at all after one wash.
However, these sheets do wrinkle, which is typical for percale.
We also didnt notice any drastic shrinkage over six months.
We loved using these sheets at home to stay cool.
They were excellent at moisture-wicking, so sweaty nights were a thing of the past.
I had no issue getting the mattress pad on my bed or hooking up the control unit.
However, the cube measures 8 inches in height, so it is slightly taller than some competitors.
Be sure to measure your bed height before ordering.
The 60- to 115-degree Fahrenheit temperature range is easy to control through the remote.
The redesigned control unit is also slimmer, so it easily fits under low bed frames.
Its very cooling and moisture-wicking, making it a rising star for bedding fabrics.
Unlike a loftydown comforter, this design is pretty thin.
Its easy to manipulate, whether youre lying under it or putting it inside aduvet cover.
The one downside to this silky finish is that Ive found the insert slips around in my duvet cover.
My husband also likes how lightweight this comforter is.
This crisp percale sheet set is perfect for sweaty sleepers looking for relief without bulking up their bedding layers.
We also included cooling mattresses, sheets, and comforters as alternatives to active cooling systems.
We’ve been testing these product categories for several years, and our methodology varies slightly for each.
We also consider whether their materials or other features contribute to their breathable, cooling feel.
However, theyre generally the most effective.
Additionally, cleaning solutions or subscriptions add to the cost compared to traditional alternatives.
(See below for more pricing info.)
How Much Does an Active Bed Cooling System Cost?
TheBedJet 3 Climate ComfortandChilipad Cube Sleep Systemaverage around $500 each.
Ideally, we would want a warm body and a cool room (around 68 degrees).
There are individual variations.
Infants and the elderly and those suffering with circulation problems may need a warmer room to support this process.
