The 12 best cooling sheets for hot sleepers — say goodbye to night sweats!

Sheex sheets were our best overall pick because they combine a luxuriously soft knit fabric that offers ample breathability and moisture-wicking to set them apart.

Founded by Michelle Marciniak and Susan Walvius, two female college basketball coaches, Sheex was launched to create bedsheets with the same benefits as their favorite high-performance activewear—incredible softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking..

Along with stretchy stay-fit corners, these sheets also feature cool, thermoregulating, quick-drying temperature control and, according to the brand, are 10 times more breathable than traditional cotton sheets. There are nine versatile colors and patterns to choose from, and they go up in size to split king. They're even wrinkle-resistant, so they'll look good straight out of the dryer.

While they are on the pricier side, thousands of shoppers say they are well worth the cost. “Best sheets I've had,” raved one on the Sheex site. “I'm a very hot sleeper, and these sheets keep me very cool. They are incredibly soft and you don't get those ‘rollies’ when washing/drying them. I have the black set, and they are still very cool.”

These ultra-cooling sheets were the top pick of Chris Winter, MD, sleep specialist and host of the Sleep Unplugged podcast because "they're a very good Tencel cooling sheet for the price and they're rated exceptionally high," he says.

The sheets are made from a blend of three fabrics—luxuriously soft Tencel, cooling nylon, and the brand’s signature CoolMax polyester. With their high thread counts, these fabrics work together to keep you cool and dry all night long. The 400-thread-count sheets are soft to the touch, have a deep-pocket fit and are available in six sizes, ranging from twin to California king.

“These are, legit, my favorite set of sheets,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “I need to find more! If you are someone like me, that needs to be cool/cold to go to sleep and stay asleep, then you need to RUN, don’t walk, to get these sheets! I’ve tried many other 'cooling' sheet sets, and none have been as good as these!”

These ultra-soft cooling eucalyptus sheets gave one of our editors the best night's sleep ever. They love how soft and breathable the sheets are and the fact that they're eco-friendly makes them some of the best cooling sheets we've tried.

They fit my mattress snugly and the top sheet stays put, unlike some of the other brands. I highly recommend these sheets for a wonderful night's sleep!”

These are a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon for a reason! They've earned our pick for the best deep-pocket set because shoppers say the fitted sheets have ultra-deep pockets that stay put even if you move around all night.

“This is our sixth set of this brand of sheets, said one reviewer. “The sheets are soft and cool to the touch. They have deep pockets that fit an adjustable bed mattress and stay put. They wash well through multiple washings and the colors never fade. We love the price, the fit, the color choices and the feel of these sheets. This is our go-to brand for sheets.”

“I was really worried these were gonna be too heavy and, therefore, too hot. However, it is the complete opposite! I stay so cool all night long,” noted one shopper. “Material is jersey-like but with the feel of like two cups of fabric softener added. Nothing else like them! Love the deep stretch; no wrinkles when I toss and turn. Can't wait to grab another set!
